When I saw the word "treasure", I was a bit confused at first. As I read Patter's devotion on "treasure", God was immediately speaking to me! I knew I had to do some re-prioritizing in my life! With our busy lives, we tend to put God at the end of our "to-do" list. I know I am guilty of this. I am working everyday to put God first in all I do. And when I forget, I now have my little card I can pull out to remind me! I chose the following two verses for my card this week:
Corinthians 4:7 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."
Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be."
I loved this week's scripture challenge on God's "leading"! These past few weeks I have felt God speaking to me in so many different forms. Following his lead is not always easy, matter of fact, it can be very hard at times. For years, I have always done things my way and well, that got me nowhere! I ask God every day to lead me in the right path and when I start to detour from that path, to give me the strength to get right back on it! I chose the following verses for this week's card:
Psalm 25:5 "Guide me in your truth and teach me for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."
I am also very excited! Faith Sisters is having a nine week challenge...the challenge: "The True Meaning of Christmas" I can't wait to get started! I think I'm going to do a mini album that will be easy to share with the kids! And they are offering a free digital kit to get started! Although, I don't digi scrap, I downloaded it anyways! It's gorgeous! Go check them out!

Nancy,
Thanks for sharing. I know that for me the part of letting God direct me in all I do is one of the things I struggle with as well. My problem is knowing where he wants me to go, praying about it and then not listening. SOmetimes I still think I know best.. I get so frustrated at my boys when they ask for my advice or direction and then totally ingnore it, I think this must be how GOd feels, when we do this to Him! I am going to check out the faith sisters challenge. TFS!
Being a "control freak" it's very hard for me to just let go and allow God's control to show in my life. I think I might be a copycat and make these cards for myself! Thanks for the inspiration, Nancy!
amazing cards I love those versus also!
Great cards, Nancy!!!
What a great idea! Are these on index cards?? I am thinking I will have to scrap lift this idea! LOL.
