Faith

“Faith” is such a short word with just a single syllable, but it’s meaning is so profound.  To have faith is to trust in God and his actions and promises.  This calls to mind John 10:38…

But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

I’m sure our faith is tested constantly and the way to bring ourselves closer to Him is to hold steadfast in the belief that He will always guide us in the right direction…to KEEP THE FAITH.

Our Daily Bread designs’ latest release of the Faith Wood Fish and He Shall Be Called is a wonderful addition to any stamp collection:

I LOVE the new Anchor set and here’s what I created for all of you wonderful hoppers:

I found that gorgeous frame in the $1 bin at Michael’s.  All I did was strip the back clean of the stand and plastic and voilà…an excellent center piece!

 

I accented the image with Stickles and Crystal Effects which I haven’t used in a long while.

 

 

As a fun accent I filled a mini glass bottle with sand and a rolled up piece of paper to act as little “note” to God .

 

Thank you for stopping by!  You’re next stop is on the ever-so-talented Becca’s blog.
