Welcome back, everyone, and happy 2017!! It's the start of a brand new year, and we're super excited about all the great things God has blessed us with for this new year of sharing our artistic talents with one another. If you take a look at the side-bar, you'll see all the wonderful sponsors we have lined up for the year. Some have been with us for quite some time, and some are brand new to us. We praise God for supplying ALL our needs, and as it always with Him, He has blessed us exceeding abundantly! We want to say a HUGE thank you to all our amazing sponsors. We are truly grateful for their generous support.
Our word art for this challenge was created with the verse Psalm 107:2 that says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so". When translated, the original meaning of the word "redeemed" is delivered or rescued. One might ask, "delivered or rescued from what"? Well, the answer to that is....to be RESCUED FROM ETERNITY IN HELL....SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER. I can't imagine the pure torture of one single second without Him. But to be separated from His almighty presence for ALL ETERNITY is too much to even imagine. It also refers to our deliverance from danger. At the time, God's people were being delivered from their captivity in Babylon. Praise God, we can also be delivered (rescued and safe from danger) for ALL ETERNITY. So, if you are redeemed (saved, rescued, delivered and safe) by the blood of our the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, Jesus Christ, then SAY SO!!! Tell the world that you are redeemed and set free. This news is too wonderful and to important to keep to ourselves. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!!
As always, you are welcome to save the free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are not required to use it in order to play along in our challenges. We welcome you share your all your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly, and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards). You may link up to five (5) projects each week. The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning. It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "Challenge Rules". Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines. Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone. We're simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules. Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for your understanding and participation!

Am so encouraged by this verse! Am going to handprint it INSIDE my card since it is already with another sentiment on the outside! Love your blog!
Happy New Year, WAW! I'm sorry I had to post my cards all at once, but I am not feeling well and I procrastinated until the last minute. Now I have to go to bed. Hope everyone else is doing well.
