Another Mundane Monday

Yesterday was Father's Day and I forgot I had made this card a few months ago. The verse is Matt. 4:18; "He said, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." At church yesterday there was a skit with a little girl in a princess dress trying to attract the attention of her father. The father was busy on the computer and cell phone. I don't know what the song is but it brought tears to my eyes something about dancing with the princess and needing to practice her dance. Finally the father took notice and danced with the little girl. The skit took the audience through other times of her life: her prom and marriage, both with the fathers dancing with their little (or not so little, anymore) girls. It was really sweet.

My father passed away this March but I never really had that "daddy's girl" type of relationship. When I saw that skit it solidified my prayers that my kids will have that type of father I never had. My BF, my wonderful Richie, also shares my thoughts. We both want our kids to have a solid foundation with God in the center and a loving home. But before the kids, we gotta work on ourselves. I just hope I'm not too old to enjoy it! I'm kinda afraid I'll be in a wheelchair before my babies are teenagers! LOL....Ah, it's all God's timing and it's perfect timing!

Back to the card, I had wanted to submit the card to be on Christian Paper Crafts Magazine but I missed the deadline. There's always next time!

Simple card

Just a simple one tonight. I love stickles! No coloring on her dress, just stickles. I'm exhausted! Today was the first time ever that I've given blood. It wasn't all that bad! I may do it again, although I will definitely have lunch before I give. They did have yummy treats! Donate Blood, you'll be a true HERO.

Let Go and Let God...

So I've been going through some stressful and difficult times in my life recently. I wanna get married, find a home for us (I get to/want to buy things....), teach TFC (Teens For Christ) Discipleship, and go back to school. I'm just being a wuss. I pray that I can "Let Go and Let God" but I'm the kind of person asking "Lord, can you show me? What does that look like?" Dude, I don't know about you but I'm praying for the wrong thing. In church I'm taught to "Just pray about it". I got so stress out about life that I got sick about it. Just enough sick to put me through the ER!!! Anyway, my lesson learned: Pray for peace in my heart, what ever that looks like, just give me a "chill pill"....Lift this burden of heaviness off me. For me, I pray that I can chill and Trust Him-whatever that looks like. Although because I don't know what it looks like, I'm scared (heart skips a beat) of what it does look like! Does that m...

Random Amusing Challenge # 19

Image
Here's my card for Glenda's weekly challeng e. This week was to use scraps. This was a fairly easy since I have tons of scraps! The only thing is new is the stamps, newly inked. Does that count? I hope so. Glenda, thanks for this challenge because I got a chance to clean and purge my scrap box! It needs more organizing but I got it down to three scrap boxes: large scraps, medium, and small-but-usable scraps. There were a lot of white card stock pieces that I could now use instead of using a new full sheet! A Muse: stamps: three cups, what's brewing, other: twinkle stars, paper: vintage red, card base: wausau classic cardstock.
