Stampin' Sisters in Christ ~Psalm 56:3

Good Morning!  Our challenge today is from a dear friend Cindy Coutts, owner of Christian Paper Crafts, and has given us a thoughtful assignment today.

Scripture: Psalm 56:3, When I am afraid, I will trust in THEE.
Challenge: I would like you to make something that represents what could be your life verse, a place where God has revealed to you that you can trust in him, something representing a turning point in your life, or just focusing on Psalm 56:3. This is more of an open challenge, something that only you understand. I want you to be encouraged and remember those special "Jesus and me" moments when the Lord truly revealed Himself to you and praise Him for it.

I have chosen one of my favorite verses of all time.  When I had my first cancer I often found myself singing the hymn inspired by this verse; which has continued to be a source of strength for me.  Because of the LORD‘s great love I have hope! In these two short verses there are three reasons why I have hope in any affliction, a difficult time, that comes my way. One, we are not consumed. Silver and gold are refined by fire and more pure after the dross has been removed. Two, His compassions never fail.  Compassion is plural. There are many and they never stop. So many that they are...three, new every morning!! I join with Jeremiah and say," Great is Thy Faithfulness." It is also my prayer to be found faithfully waiting as it is said in Micah 7:7 "But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me."

My card today uses three different Our Daily Bread Designs sets.  The verse is from the Scripture Series 1 collection and framed with the new Flower Frame 2 set made especially for the Scripture Series 1 and 2 sets.  I colored the outside border with my Copics YG91 and sponged Ranger Old Paper Distress Ink to further focus your eye toward the verse.  As an added little embellishment I colored, layered, and popped up the beautiful butterfly from the August Don't Worry set.  I was able to get a little retail therapy in the other day and found too many bargains. DH was not surprised. LOL One being a pretty paper pack by The Paper Studio and a new EK Success punch both used here today.
