I love this verse! I cannot say that it is one that I am very familiar with, but as soon as I read it, I realized how important it was to me personally.
My husband and I have been struggling with infertility for over 6 years now (it feels so much longer) and have been blessed to do foster care for a year and to have 12 sweet children in our lives. The stress was too much for us, though, and we stopped doing foster care after a year. We started to take infertility medication and prayed for the best. The Lord has! NOW, we have a sweet little girl who we 
have living with us and she is such a blessing! Reading this verse reminded me yet again that I am not the one in control and that God knows what is best for me! He will bless me with all the righteous desires of my heart! I just have to show forth great faith and put my trust in Him!

Bible Verse Thursday @ Christian Paper Crafts
Passionately Artistic
This week's Bible Verse Thursday challenge is Matthew 11:28-19. We were told to create something that indicated restfulness. Before I show you my submission, I wanted to give a quick inspirational blip. Here goes...
Rest. Isn't that a lovely word? The Lord tells us, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest...and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29) He goes on to tell us that He can give us rest because His yoke is easy and that His burden is light. Why? Why does He say that His yoke is easy and His burden light when He took upon Himself all the sins, sickness and sorrows of all the children of God? One word: Love. He Loves us! I use the capital L, because His Love (aka charity) is perfect. Everything that we do can be easy if we do all in Love. Work done in Love can be the same as rest if we allow ourselves to feel Love for those we serve to envelop our lives.
Anyway, there it is. My feelings and thoughts on this scripture! And here is my submission, made with elements by Dustybear:
Right click and save--it's yours for free! It's a 5"x7" print size. I hope you're inspired today to take stock of your life and allow Christ's Love to lighten your yoke and your burdens. Happy living! :)
My church's 13th Article of Faith reads, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul..." I was really happy to find that this week's Bible Verse Thursday has to do with Paul's admonition! I find that when I stay safely in the guidelines of the gospel, I am so much happier, and this admonition helps give those guidelines! Above is my submission for the BVT117 challenge. I chose to use my new Stampin' Up! Cheerful Treat digital elements because this way, the colors match my August home decore and I can frame the printable and display it! I hope you can use this in your home--just right click and save the 6"x4" digital print. Happy printing!
OR, rethinking the blog! I've decided this blog needs a new face lift! SOOOOOO....I've decided to make it my digital art blog as well as my poetry blog! To start off this new transformation, I am submitting the above digital art to the Bible Verse Thursday challenge! :) Details found here.
I used some of my wonderful digital elements by Dustybear and Adobe Photoshop as my supplies. :) The verse is Psalm 5:3. It's about prayer. I'm grateful that I found this blog and that I'll be able to play along, even if I'm not a member (YET). Happy crafting! :)
