Spring collage

This will probably be my last Spring themed collage as the weather is very hot these last days and is much more like summer.

I have used some of the goodies I received and stamped a Rose image in the middle which I colored in with a marker pen - first time I've ever used this as I usually use a paintbrush and distress inks to color.

I still have three more photos to share of the beautiful cards I received. My MIL came looking for her card the other day and couldn't find it!

This is tea from Sri Lanka. Once again thank you ladies!

Just wanted to share a little something I have been thinking about lately. It's that black and white thinking pattern. Do you recognize it in yourself? I mean it goes something like this... the Bible invites us to believe, for example, for healing - so we take up the invite and then it doesn't happen. That is black/white thinking. But God is so much bigger than that!! There is a whole area which is as Derek Prince describes in his book 'The Word of God heals' that we forget about. God is sovereign and we can't dictate to Him how He should handle. It's not black and white in His Kingdom, it means that we live in complete surrender to Him as He forms our characters through every situation in our lifes. God might need us to keep on believing and never give up. He is able to keep our hearts soft and loving towards Him by just letting Him be God and trusting in WHO HE IS, not in WHAT HE DOES! God is Love - no doubt about it - and I think the only way UP with Him is TRUST, SURRENDER, PRAYER and FAITH. God's Word says - I will honor those who honor my Word - I reckon that is something to build on and I have always seen that God's Arm is not to short to deliver us in our daily walk with Him.

Hope to be back later in the week, I don't know what to expect and how I will react to the Chemo, so it's until then!
