Now onto testimony:

I have had heck of a week and couldn't come up with a project that would go with the love letter below that PaperTree House Studios gave us to use for this hop. Actually took me to the last minute and many messed up projects and finally made a simple card. This Love of God that he has for us touches my heart and reminds me he DOES love me in spite of myself even with all the mistakes I made and my imperfections...I try to do my best in all I do but lately it has been a test to just keep going when I am facing so many trials, the health problems that continues, my latest surgery from my fall I had last year and now therapy upon me next week and not having a car and with my son in his coming year as a Senior and I will soon be an empty single mom nester and I can go on and it is making me tire just writing it ...it is like what about me Lord??? and that is when I realized WAIT!!! what is it that I am NOT doing...then I thought I had a AH HA moment....lol...we do have them occasionally ...lol...I realize I am trying to take care of everything by myself and I am not meant too and I need to let my daddy have the problems and all and I prayed and had to let God have control again and laid everything at his feet because HE DOES LOVE ME!! woot woot! and He LOVES YOU!! But we tend to forget his love for us when time is tough for us and how do we go on when we struggle and all that jazz but he said when we are weary we can lean on him and fly on the wings of eagles...and he reminds us of His love for us when we take the time to focus and by thanksgiving and prayers that he is there with us even when we feel like we are in a desert and have more than we think we can handle and yet we keep pushing on because of his love and strength! Remember you are NEVER alone and HE LOVES YOU forever! You are his child and a child of a king!! What greater love or place can we be if not in his Wings! I am so thankful to my Lord and his love that endures forever! It is a wonderful feeling that I am loved.

Please read the love letter God wants you to know! :)

Then check out my card I made for a friend who has been battling depression and I intend to give her the copy of this love letter inside to remind her of His Love for her and from me too! :)

Her is my card:
Just something simple I took a leftover printed paper of flowers and then just cut it to size on an A2 card and then emboss the "Thinking of You" with blue to match it and then the flowers get self adhesive pearl gems and the one flower got cut and popped up with the pop up dots. Stamped in blue some simple butterflies around the flowers (got to have the butterflies...Smile)
Simple but pretty ...hope you like it.
