Be Still

This card was made for SCS Sketch Challenge 353 and Color Challenge 343.  I have been so busy lately that I feel like I rarely get a moment to take a breath.  In the busyness I get frustrated when things do not go my way and think all my time and effort have been wasted.  Psalm 46:10 reminds me that God is God and in control of everything and I am not.  The trials of this life are not wasted time but lessons and building blocks to prepare us for even greater challenges that God has prepared for us.  I believe that through these challenges, He is teaching me to rely on Him and His power and not on my own.

Be Still

This card is for the SCS FS74 challenge. This is another card that has a meaning for me that I didn't intend as I was making it. There are two Bible verses in this card: Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven," and Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." To sum it up, God has a plan and a purpose for me and that He is bringing about according to His perfect timing. What He has planned will occur in His time which will most likely be longer or shorter than I would like. However I am to wait patiently and be ready while always being aware that He is Lord in my life and in control.
