The fact that you're here is awesome, and we appreciate you. We're beyond grateful to have you here with us for another FUN challenge where you can use the creative gifts that God has given you. There are several things we have prepared for our participants to let you all know how much we appreciate you all. There are three WINNERS for the previous challenge along with several other winners. Be sure to check each Design Team Member's Blog to see if you're a winner there as well. We also have an awesome NEW Sponsor for this challenge, Bramble Fox, and they're offering a DISCOUNT CODE (see below). Let's get started with our first challenge of the new year.
Our scripture of focus is Romans 12:2 and it says, "And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God". When these words were being penned, Paul was speaking to Christians and he was urging them to resist conforming to worldy values; but rather, encouraging people to renew their minds towards Christ and to also be renewed in their thinking. God has so many great things intended for His people. Paul was (and is) encouraging people to live and conduct their lives walking closely with God in a way that reflects their desire to fully know and follow Him. When we're truly living for God, we will become renewed and strengthened, and others will be able to clearly see us living our best lives for His glory. No matter where you are in your walk with God, we can always draw closer. We can always become further transformed and able to experience ALL that He wants for each of us. Let's each purpose in our heart to draw closer to God than ever before. Let this be the day, month, year, etc. that we experience God like never before. He has ALL that is good and acceptable and perfect for you. Don't miss out on His blessings.
As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along or to win in our challenges. We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly. 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 fifteen (15) entries for this three-week challenge and blog hop. Any entries over that limit will be deleted and will make you ineligible to win. 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 an encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "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 not. We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules. Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.
