In the past hour our weather man announced tornado warnings, high wind warnings, and hail. The weather maps showed that we were in line for the worst winds along with our children who live in different suburbs. I immediately prayed for their safety. There I am upstairs in my craft room looking for stamps, listening to the wind blow viciously against the one west window in the room, getting nervous, wondering if I should go downstairs. Then I looked at this sentiment I had printed and was "awakened" to the greater reality. I took a deep breath and let the calming green colors soak in along with my realization that I wasn't alone in that upstairs room with the wind blowing. The Lord promised to be there with me and He was in control. Thank you, ladies, for this Word Art Wednesday Challenge #16 that met the need of the moment. Amazing how things like that work out. This card is the final result. I'm also posting this on Little Birdie Blessings where I get additional encouragement from the Word.
I used the sketch from Unscripted Sketches Challenge #147 this week and flipped it horizontally. Maybe it was the turmoil outside or the calm inside, but simplicity seemed best with this card. I printed the sentiment on a piece of paper from "Boxer." The floral silhouettes were each stamped twice, using first and second generation stamping.
6.5" x 5" Card Recipe:
Paper - Close To My Heart "Mayberry" dp (stamped with flowers); Basic Grey "Boxer," black cardstock
Stamps - CTMH "Treasure Life"

Hi Vickie, What a perfect verse at a time you really needed just that. Don't you just love "God Moments" when you know they are from Him. I hope your weather turned out okay. Your card is beautiful, very calming, and the colors remind me of nature. Thanks so much for linking this to Scripture Thursday. ~ Abby
