Summer Fun

Another card. Just for summer fun. Although it lost a little of it's color in the picture taking (I'm not the best photographer), the background paper reminded me of bluejeans & was much more blue & the sand castle & light background paper were much more beige than peach.

Remain in Me

Here's my second go at a creative devotion time. God reminded me that I need to remain in him & He will give me rest. I will grow only as I take root in Him.

I used chalk & pen along with a couple left over die cuts.

Presence

Some friends & I recently came across a blog called Illustrated Faith. They make their Bibles works of art by creatively responding to God's word, right in the Bible. I have chosen to illustrate my devotional copy of Jesus Calling instead. Not because I don't think a Bible should be used creatively, but because I don't have a Bible with good margins, So, I'm taking what I have.

This is my first entry. I have tended to be frustrated & worried about things of the world. God reminds me that I can hope in Him & that His presence goes with me. And when I cling to him, he shows Himself faithful & gives me hope, calmness & peace. Thanks be to God.
