Another Sunday and I am so glad you could join us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ for another challenge based on scripture!
This week sweet Grace (lives up to her name) is our hostess and the verse she chose is Isaiah 55:8-9 .
I suppose that means that I do NOT know best! I often find myself asking (really telling) God what I think needs to be done. Please heal this person from cancer. Please heal that relationship. Please ease the way for my parents. So I know what is needed, I know what I want. Is this God's way? Is this me totally trusting in Him? In my mind I know and believe totally in what the verse says - it is my heart that gets in the way at times. It is me wanting things to be easier for my parents and wanting my married children to have a relationship with Him and with each other like my husband and I have. Those sometimes get in the way of me saying, "Your will be done, not mine."
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. "
I really do like the sharp contrast between black and white. This was a very easy card to make. I used a Cuttlebug folder on the black panel, added some swirly pearls, a large, soft bow and a small bow button. I must admit that I used 1 Copic (RV000) on the flowers just to soften them up a tad!
The challenge for this week is to create a card or project that depicts the sharp contrast of black & white or ivory.
Our sponsor this week is Layers of Color with a wonderful stamp set!

Gorgeous card Lisa, love that frame and sentiment.
You are so right, we pray according to our needs and thoughts not God's will.
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs & Blessings :)
So elegant Miesje!! I just love that frame around the sentiment and the embossed background. Gorgeous!! Your words on the verse are so true and often it is hard to know how to pray.
Have a blessed week!!
hugs,
Chris
