Scripture Series: No Weapon Formed Against Us Card---Get Ready for an Inspiring Challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

Hi there, Crafty people!  It's almost the end of the month and boy, I don't know where the time went.  The more I try to get things done, the more the time is slipping by.  I'm having a hard time catching up.  But when I feel overwhelmed, I just rest in my Savior, Jesus Christ, and He surely give me some peace of mind.

Anyway, we have a great Word Art to share with you for free at Word Art Wednesday (WAW) Blog.  My card features the verse from Isaiah 54:17 which is among my favorites in the Bible. I always speak this promise of the Lord in  my daily life especially after we've experienced the trauma of having been broken into nearly 2 years ago.  If you haven't experienced the same circumstance in life, I don't know how to describe to you how violated we felt and if God didn't sustain us, I don't know how long before our lives would go back to normal.  A few minutes after we discovered what had happened, as we arranged what was left of our belongings back in place, God gave me a word in the midst of my emotional chaos...He said, "Be still and know that I am God!"  (Psalm 46:10a)  In a comforting tone, I heard the voice of the Lord spoke to me and I knew at that perfect moment, He had our backs and He would be the One to fight our battles!  He also gave us Psalm 91 which you need to read.  These promises of God carried us through even to this moment.  I will forever be grateful for all that Jesus has done for us---He has done great things!  This was just one of the many testimonies I can share about the faithfulness of God to those who have put their trust in Him.  Surely, what the Word of God says is true...

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

This means that though we experience trials in many ways, it's in those times that we learn to trust God more thereby, strengthening our faith in the One Who is able to deliver us.  It's in those trying times that we get to know His goodness, love, power and deliverance that no matter what the world says, no one can take that experience away from us.  We serve an awesome God and anyone who have given their lives to Jesus Christ who have passed through many trials in life can attest to the goodness of our Lord.  He is mighty to save!

So, here's my card featuring the free Word Art.  I used my Paint program to alter the color of the font to match the Sepia color effect that I want to achieve with this creation.  The wonderful image is from Mo Manning Digi Stamps called "Mummu,"  that I colored with my ProMarker/Prismacolor/Spectrum Noir markers.  I used a 5" X 7" pre-cut Kraft card base from Paper Studio Value Pack.  The DP is from My Minds Eye, the heart gems from Imaginisce and the photo corner dies were die-cut with an MS Punch.  I  decided to make this monochromatic card (instead of my colorful, bright colors) because it will give more emphasis to my image and the verse which are both a knock-out.  Combined with stitching all over this card, I am pretty happy with the results.  What do you think?
