FAITHFUL FRIEND

A FAITHFUL FRIEND
BY MILLIE STAMM
VERSE FOR THE DAY:
DEUTERONOMY 7:9
KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD, KEEPING HIS COVENANT OF LOVE TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDS.
PASSAGE FOR THE DAY:
DEUTERONOMY 7:7-11
FRIENDS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LIVES. SOME ARE CASUAL ACQUAINTANCES; OTHERS CLOSE FRIENDS; SILL OTHERS MORE INTIMATE "FAITHFUL FRIENDS," FRIENDS WHO ARE STEADFASTLY LOYAL, FRIENDS ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND AT ALL TIMES AND FOR EVERY NEED.
YET MOST OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HURT THAT COMES FROM FRIENDS WHO ARE UNFAITHFUL. EVEN MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY MAY PROVE UNFAITHFUL.
HOW REASSURING TO KNOW THERE IS ONE WHO IS FAITHFUL-- FAITHFUL ALWAYS AND FAITHFUL IN EVERYTHING."KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GO IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD" (DEUTERONOMY 7:9). BECAUSE OF HIS VERY NATURE, HE COULD NOT BE GOD AND BE UNAITHFUL. WE READ IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:13:
IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL, FOR HE CANNOT DISOWN HIMSELF.
HE NEVER CHANGES. HE NEVER FAILS. HE NEVER GOES BACK ON ONE OF HIS PROMISES. GOD, BEING WHO HE IS, CANNOT CEASE TO BE WHAT HE IS. HE CANNOT ACT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH HIMSELF. BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL, HE WILL BE FAITHFUL IN HIS ACTIONS.
AT TIMES WE MAY FORGET HIS FAITHFULNESS TO US. WHEN TRIALS AND TESTINGS COME,IT MAY SEEM AS IF GOD HAS SURELY FORGOTTEN US. WHEN FRIENDS FAIL US AND OUR LIVES ARE FALLING APART, WE MAY FEEL HE HAS FORSAKEN US. THERE SEEM TO BE SO FEW PEOPLE WE CAN TRUST. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KEP THEIR WORD. OUR FAITH IN HUMAN NATURRE BECOMES SHAKEN, ANDWE WONDER IF ANYONE IS HONEST.
YET THERE IS ONE, THE FAITHFUL GOD, ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND. HE WILL NEVER LET US DOWN. HE HAS PROMISED:
"NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU" (HEBREWS 13:5)
ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE READINGS:
ISAIAH 41:9-10
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
