Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!!
Today I have the honor of being this week's hostess at Stampin Sisters in Christ. I chose one of my
favorite verses for this week's devotional and challenge: He who waits upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings like eagles. Isaiah 40:31
How many of us go through life thinking we are in total control or our own destiny when all the sudden we hit some difficulty whether it be health wise for us or a loved one, financial, difficulty with raising a child, or etc. Where does our help come from then? To read more of my devotional you can click here.
Although most of my devotional is on the Stampin Sisters in Christ post, I would like to share a very enlightening or inspiring poem I found left to me by my dear mother in law (who is now in Heaven with her Saviour).
Use wings and a biblical verse or quote on your creation
This week's Sponsor is Our Daily Bread Designs who is offering a $15 gift certificate for one random participant of this week's challenge.
For my creation I used the Scripture Series 2 and Scrolly Borders from Our Daily Bread Designs to make a card of encouragement for a friend who recently had serious surgery on her back. She will be layed up for months and is in severe pain. I hope this card puts a smile on her face, knowing others are praying for her.
The designer paper is Basic Grey Curio paper. The verse is frame with the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two which I cut twice to frame (oval die). The bouquet is created with a crocheted doily and prima flowers.
Have a great weekend!!

Although most of my devotional is on the Stampin Sisters in Christ post, I would like to share a very enlightening or inspiring poem I found left to me by my dear mother in law (who is now in Heaven with her Saviour).
YOU MUST WAIT
Desperately, helplessly, longingly I cried:
Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate,
And the Master so gently said, “Child you must wait.”
Wait, you say wait,” my indignant reply.
“Lord I need answers. I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked and am claiming your Word.
My future and all of which I can relate
Hangs in the balance and YOU tell me WAIT?
I’m needing a ‘Yes”, a go-ahead sign,
Or even a ‘No’ to which I can resign.
And Lord, you promised that if we believe
We need but to ask and we shall receive.
And Lord, I’ve been asking and this is my cry”
I’m weary of asking! I need a reply.”
Then quietly, softly I learned of my fate
As my Master relied once again, “You must wait.”
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut and
Grumble to God, “So I am waiting for what?”
He seemed the to kneel and His eyes wept with mine,
And He tenderly said, “I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun,
I could raise the dead, cause the mountains to run.
All you seek I could give, and please you would be.
You would have what you want, but you wouldn’t know Me.
You’d not know the depth of My love for each saint;
You’d not know the power that I give the faint;
You’d not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You’d not learn to trust just by knowing I’m there;
You knot know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence were all you could see;
You would never experience that fullness of love
As the peace of my Spirit descends like a dove;
But you’d not know the depth of the beat of My heart,
The glow of My comfort, late in the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight,
Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.
What it means that ‘My grace is sufficient for thee!’
But oh the loss, if I lost what I’m doing in you!
