Star Quality: Psalm 121: 2-4

Sunday again - already?! Honestly these weeks go quickly! I am so glad that you could join us for another challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This week  Chris chose the verse for the challenge. The verse she chose comes from the book of Psalm 121:2-4.

"My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip” he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."

Not slumber or sleep! Yikes - I need my 7 hours! While reflecting on this I couldn't help but think about when we brought our first child home. He was about 3 months old and the most precious gift from God ever! To say I hovered would probably be an understatement! The love that I felt was so overwhelming and all encompassing that I did not want to sleep, I wanted to check on him constantly. (these were the days BEFORE baby monitors) And when he started to crawl and walk I made sure his feet did not slip and that he would not get hurt in any way. This is how our Lord watches over us!

As time passed and we were blessed with 7 more wonderful gifts I was less panicky about watching every minute. I love them the same but the boo boos happened and the hurts could not all be prevented. Even now that they are adults with children of their own, I still would like to keep them from pain and hardship but alas I cannot. Our Father can and does! He does not slumber or sleep - so that we can!  

Create a card or project with a tea or coffee cup or pot-this can be the designer paper, the image, or embellishment.

I wanted to use one of the stamp sets that I got from TCM - that was the star and the sentiment. I then wanted to include it with a cup. I have this image from GKD called Mugs and Kisses and thought the star would be perfect on it. I paper pieced the up and used a lot of embossing because I also wanted to use it for the Lily Pad challenge. 

Our sponsor this week is The Craft's Meow with this wonderful stamp set!
