Pink Flowers, Clouds, and Comforting Messages

Hello Crafty Friends,

My pastor had a great daily message today based on Psalms 93. He said this and it really resonated with me:

"When you feel the floods rising, don’t measure reality by the noise of the water, measure it by the height of the throne. Preach this to your soul: The Lord reigns. He is mighty. His Word is sure. His house is holy. And if you belong to Jesus Christ; the crucified and risen King, then you are not at the mercy of chaos. You are held by the Sovereign."

I journaled this in my Bible Journal.

I already had the Psalm 92 words and the eye on the page, but I added the throne and words from Psalm 93. To tie it all together, I added pink flowers (today's theme from the F4A challenge on Splitcoaststampers) and sponged on some clouds using distress inks and a stencil from Creative Worship Stamps.

This month's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey iAnywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone. This page works with that theme in many ways - our lives, heaven, eternity, anywhere we are, with God, etc. 

We have felt a little like the flood waters are rising lately so I needed to hear this message today. 

Hugz,

Nancy

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!
