God is for me!

Romans 8:31b-32 If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all- how will he not also, along with him graciously give us all things?

This week’s verse made me think of a competition, specifically a tug of war. Every summer our church has a big picnic in the park where we play games afterward. It always ends with the big tug of war, with the girls on one side and guys on the other. The girls usually win because we have more on our side of the rope. When the little kids have their tug of war, they want the biggest and strongest on their side. In the same way, in a spiritual tug of war, I want to be on the winning side. That is why I am glad that I am on God’s team. It is a good reminder when I am feeling alone, that God is in my side. 






Create a card project that uses everything. The opposite of CAS - toss on the embellishments and or different papers, textures.

I am offering these coffee filter flowers as the prize for this week's challenge make sure you check out what my Stampin' Sisters in Christ have created for your inspiration:

I was listening to this song this week as I was making my card. I hope it blesses you like it did me.
