I am going to try to be part of the {Glory Art} Scripture Challenge located HERE for 2015. This first one is TRUST and for those of us who like to be in control - at least of our own little world - Trust - of even another person - is a hard thing. A good example of trust when I was young was sitting on my grampa's lap and snuggling up to his argyle sweater. Complete trust because I knew how much he loved me.
The song is an old hymn that I sang growing up, and to tell you the truth, I didn't have a clue. It has taken me years to know who Jesus really is, what He thinks about me, what He does for me, and how to communicate with Him. Trusting Him with my LIFE never entered into the picture back when I got to sing the song all the time.
As life stretches you - sometimes until you squeak - you learn, and I have learned that there is way more than just ME making the decisions that make up my life and the life of my family.
I have picked Psalm 46:1 as my "trust" verse. What I love best about this verse is that it says God is a VERY PRESENT help in times of trouble. I know that I don't have to wait until He comes to my side of the world to call His Name. He knows I am going to need His help and is instantly there for me. The more I call Him, the more He helps me and that lets me know that He can be trusted.
Thank you for sharing, I've also decided to do this scripture challenge.. I have a question for you how did you do your scripture so neat on that die.. thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking, Debbie. I did the verse on the computer and cut it afterward. I will look forward to seeing yours.

ReplyDeleteLove the story about your granddad and his jumper and how you have incorporated it in your page ! Thank you for your lovely and very inspiring post!
ReplyDeleteLove what you created, and love your memory of complete trust. Just as you trusted your grampa's lap, you too can trust the Father. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCarole, love your page!! I really like how you used just a portion of the hymn and highlighted it with the starbursts. You choose a great verse for trust. I'm going to add it to my list.
ReplyDeleteYour backround is just like an argyle jumper! Such a sweet illustration of trust. Love that you've got the actual hymn on your page too.

ReplyDeleteAdversity makes it difficult to not lose faith and to not be fearful. To believe and trust that He is there and that He loves us and that He will be with us. I keep reminding myself to trust in these things and that there is a purpose for all we are given. Glad to see this and other January trust themed card. :)
