Hi friends!!

Thanks for the visit today.  I do have another video and page in my Journaling Bible for you today.  I am using the new Created to Create kit from Illustrated Faith to share with you today. 

You can also watch the video on YouTube.

 

 For the details, I used my new to me, Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 12 COLOR SET that I am falling in love with.  I used the Created to Create stamp set from IF, and some copics to color them.  That washi tape was also in that kit, and the random glasses were in my stash! 

 

 

I only briefly discussed why I choose the verse I choose with you in the video, but I wanted to touch more on it here. 

I am currently doing a Bible Study with some ladies called I know His Name by Wendy Blight.   I admit I was scared to be going into all of these NAMES, but I am pleasantly surprised by how interesting it is. 

Week One discussed a lot of Creation and one area touched on being created with a purpose.  This really struck a cord with me.  Often times, I feel that we are trying to keep up with the worldly ways and not remembering who created us and why.  It’s easy to get sucked into looking like someone else, or trying to be someone else.  When in fact, God created us to be US.  Unique.  The only one. 

Wendy says God did not create us from the same mold.  This is an amazing truth that we need to remember. 

I feel that this is one area where I’ve grown in the last 10 years.  I struggled (and honesty, I still do some days) with why my hair won’t behave a certain way, why my teeth weren’t straighter or whiter.  I could go on and on, and I’m sure you could as well.  But I’ve found truth in the fact that God created me to be this way.  He had a plan. He knew what He was doing.  He created beautiful sunsets, amazing landforms, billions of different types of creations, and yet He took the time to make each and every detail about me. 

He created me Beautiful and with a Purpose.  Not to look like you or Beyoncé.  But to look like me.  To be me.  To fulfill the purpose He set for me.  More important than looks and hair and teeth, He wants us to be like Him.  To be in his image, while not literally to look like Him, but to be a reflection of Him.

 

I appreciate you stopping in today! 

We are off for the weekend to play basketball.  I hope you enjoy your weekend!
