Scripture Series: Your Ways Are Not My Ways Card---Get Ready for Another Inspirational Challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

A wonderful morning , everyone!  Today, I would like to share another card project that will highlight another verse in the Bible.  I am truly grateful to be part of Word Art Wednesday (WAW), a Blog that not only promotes the Word of God but comprise of a group of women who upholds the Word of God in our daily lives.  All of us have been radically changed by God in our core that we know the very importance of sharing God's word in every facets of society---yes, even in Crafting!

Today's free Word Art (you can download it from the WAW Blog) comes from Isaiah 55:8 which tells us that God's ways and thoughts are far above our own ways and thoughts.  We are foolish to think that we know what goes on the mind of God and His plans.  Through His Word (Bible), we can rely on the written revelations of God as penned by men and women of God through the Holy Spirit.  He has revealed everything we needed to know to live our lives here on earth but I know we are barely scratching the surface.  The vastness of God's infinite knowledge and wisdom is unfathomable and without Him revealing Himself to man, it is impossible for us to grasp the fulness of His radiant Wisdom.  It's unwise for us to try to fit God in our mold---to make His plans and purposes conform ours.  Instead, we must strive to fit in His plans for our lives.  He is the Creator and we are the created.  He wired us to do specific things---each with a unique purpose!  So, anytime you think of acting like somebody else but yourselves, remember that you were created to fulfill a purpose which only you can do.  The Bible says in John 15:5, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."  In order to fulfill your full potential, you are to be connected to the right Power Source---JESUS!  Only He can unlock the true purpose of God in your life. 

So here's my inspiration card for all of you. The Lil' Ballerina image is from Mo Manning which I colored with my ProMarker/Prismacolor/Spectrum Noir and Bic markers.  I used a Kraft base card measuring 5.5 inches and laid my panels of Kraft, Dk. Brown, Neon Green and Tangerine CS.  The DP is from Heidi Grace where I cut-out the flowers as well (yes, it's all in one DP---love it!).  I embossed some panels using a Sizzix Tim Holtz Texture Fades.  The border punch is from MS Punch, the gems from Imaginisce, the button from Paper Studio with a bit of twine from my stash, the glitters are Stickles-Diamond and I added a touch of Liquid Pearls to the center of the flowers (Buttercup and White Opal).  Of course, the sentiment is our free Word Art that I altered by adding some colors to match my project using my Paint program.  And lastly, this will not be complete without stitching.  Hope you like it.
