Welcome by again, peeps! We're SO glad you're here to join us. Another fabulous challenge is about to begin, and we absolutely love having you play along. It's always so much fun seeing all the amazing things you all create. There's so much talent out there, and it blesses us to have you all share your talents and spend time with us. We have THREE fabulous sponsors for this challenge, a new July Guest Designer, and lots of Design Team inspiration. Let's jump right in and get started.
Our word art was created using Psalm 23:6 which says, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever". You see, when we completely surrender our lives to God; He's doesn't promise that we will never have another problem or trial again for the rest of our lives. What He's promising us, however, is that even when we (as His children) do go through trials in our lives, He will be there in the midst of it all. And as long as we keep Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, and look to Him alone for the answers; He will always provide His goodness and His mercy so that we're able to handle everything that comes our way. He gives us the wisdom, discernment, and strength we need to conquer any obstacles the world (or the enemy) puts in our way in an attempt to discourage us. Our joy increases as we face those obstacles boldly with the goodness and mercy He alone provides us. In turn, we're promised that we will never be left to figure out anything on our own again because HE CARES for us. He is always there waiting for us to call on Him, and He wants to show us His full measure of goodness and mercy. We need only to trust Him completely, and turn to Him in every situation. And when this life is finally over (and it surely will be for each of us one day), and when we've finished the course God has set before each of us; we will dwell (live/reside) with Him "for ever" and all eternity. Not only will He take care of us every step of the way while we are here on earth; but He promises to keep us always. We are physically and literally promised that we will spend eternity in His presence, in His "house" (Heaven.....a perfect place). What an amazing promise!
As always, you are welcome to save the free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are never 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, for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge. 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!
