When I pray you answer me, YOU encourage me by giving me the strength I need. ~ Psalm 138:3
I was really proud of Our Daily Bread for asking their amazing design team submit favorite verses for 2 special Scripture sets. I ordered both sets, and I chose to use Psalm 138:3 this month for Divine Design. This beautiful scripture had been submitted by my friend Angel, Divine Design co-hostess this year. Isn’t that a beautiful promise to meditate on? Angel, thank you for sharing that.
I remember when my oldest daughter was 4 years old, and learned one of her first memory verses for her Sunday School classes. The teacher didn’t attach the reference to their memory work, but the verse was ‘Jesus gives us what we need’. I see this as the grown up rendition of that promise. Pray to Him. He will answer. He will give me the strength I need.
I received this beautiful Memory Box paper from the Butterfield line as a gift, and I knew it would be perfect to add to my hanging album of Scriptures. I had to be careful because I didn’t want to cover up the flight of the butterflies. I enhanced it with Martha Stewart butterfly punches and rhinestones. The verse is stamped on Pink Pirouette cardstock and layered on Willow Dark Prism, cut with Nestabilities Lables 3. One of the swirls from my Unity Kit of the Month is tucked behind the Scripture panel on the upper left.
Thanks for stopping by. Please take minute to look at what other Divine Designers Angel, Jami Bova, and Taylor VanBruggen have shared today. I know you will be blessed by their artwork and their sharing. I think Nancy will be sharing tomorrow. If you would like to post your creations and share and Splitcoast, please use keyword BVC09. I’ll see you tomorrow with the Weekend Sketch.
