WELCOME BY! It's our first challenge of 2018, and we're SUPER excited to have you with us. We have so many AWESOME sponsors lined up for you this year, and I want to give a BIG shout-out to our super generous crafting community for all the support they give to blogs like ours by providing prizes and assistance. I've posted all the sponsors for 2018 on a Page (here on the blog) called 2018 Sponsors, so you can see who is sponsoring which challenge this year. We are SO blessed, and I really hope that you will play along with us every week. By the way....I'm looking for Guest Designers for 2018; so if you're interested, please let me know.
Our word art file for this challenge is from a wonderful scripture (Deuteronomy 3:22), and it says "Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you". Keep in mind that this was a troubling time, and Joshua had concerns about his safety and the safety of others as they faced large enemies (big people and large numbers of people) who could cause trouble in their lands. These words were spoken to encourage him and remind him that when we place our faith in God, we have nothing to fear. The same is true today. We face enemies every day (as a country, and as individuals), but if we put our complete faith in Christ to protect us, He will always fight for us. That doesn't mean that nothing bad will never happen in our lives; but it does mean that God promises to protect us and provide everything we need to get through life's trials. Don't live in fear of the world; but rather, in FAITH that God will cover us. We all know that life can be difficult at times, but God is ALWAYS what we need to get through this life with confidence...and to know that eternity with Him in paradise is certain when we place our faith in Him alone.
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. 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!
