Scripture Series: Let My Heart Be Sound Side Step Card---Hop on Over at Word Art Wednesday and Join our Inspirational Challenge!

It's another Wednesday morning and a brand new day to give thanks to our Almighty Father.  There's a lot of chaos happening all over the world these days including the recent meteorite that struck Russia.  You just have to look all around you, be willing to stop and observe and you'll know that our country and the rest of the world is turning away from the things of God and the word "tolerance" is  given a new meaning.  What used to be right is being branded as wrong and what is wrong, people promoting as right.  Modern living and liberal standards are being forced onto everyone by the combined efforts of entertainment, media and politics which promotes a way of living based on every individual's view of right or wrong, whichever is convenient, their environment or culture.  The notion that by allowing every man to decide on their actions and that their wrong decisions will not affect others is a dangerous ground to stand on. Why?  Because men aren't perfect! Those of us who have put our faith solely in what Jesus did on the Cross as our means of salvation and rely on the infallible Word of God for our daily living, need to pray for our country.  This is not the time to sleep...Awaken, Church of God!  We are here to be the "Salt and Light" of this world and to show forth "The Way."  The Bible says:

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:13-16)

The free Word Art that is featured this week at Word Art Wednesday features Psalm 119:80, "Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed."  This is such a powerful verse that speak of diligently seeking the Word of God (day and night) that the Word of God will be written in our hearts and that the voice of the Holy Spirit ( Who always stands by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross) will guide as as we walk our lives daily.  That we stay faithful to God's Word, no  matter what the cost.  For our hope is beyond what this world can offer...It is the life everlasting that awaits those that believe in Christ---our true inheritance---our true life!  Because of this, we share the Good News of the Gospel (salvation through faith in Christ) for we know that the time is drawing near.

So, here is my Card.  The cute "Music Man" image is from Digi Darla who happens to be one of our sponsors this week together with Heart and Soul Rubber Stamps.  The "Ivy Window" is an image from Make It Crafty and I colored both with my ProMarker/Prismacolor/Spectrum Noir Markers.  I inked the window using Tim Holtz "Tea Dye"Distress Ink to achieve some depth, added some Lime Green glitter (Stickles) to the vine in that window and yellow glitters to the flower beside the Music Man.  I used a couple of embossing folders (from Sizzix-Tim Holtz Alterations and Paper Studio) for  accent on the step panels.  I stamped and cut the Music Player from Heidi Grace Designs.  I placed several gems on the card and the envelope-box.  I used an MS Punch to create that design  on the top panel of the window.  Lastly, I stitched all over this card.  I am very happy with the results.
