I met God at the beach a few days ago :) As I was jogging around the small trail near the mangroves, ducking the branches and side-stepping root-lifted cracks, I stopped right in my tracks. This breath of faith just washed over me and I felt His presence so clearly, so purely.
I know it’s God’s answer to never ending questions I have. The ones I ask myself in wonder. And wait for His reply. I didn't finish that jog. I sat one the beach instead, watching the sun share it's warmth over the water, twinkly like nature's glitter.
And I knew - the answers will be here when they are meant to. Be patient, child. And I also knew that I am completely, humbly loved.
I am thankful.
When I saw today's Deconstructed Sketch, I fell in love with it and got to crafting right away. Lately, I'm drawn to the blue and yellow combination which is so lovely - I'm sure it's the contrasting hues, but I like it! I also inked up for the first time my quite lonely Verve stamp (LINY card!) It's a simple card, but it's calming and quiet and not my usual "busy" cards that I love to make with lots of layers and gobs of buttons!

Sometimes simple is good, especially in the year of Simplicity :)
Blessings to you this day!
Big hugs,
Yes that IS a gorgeous color combo and what a wonderful verse.

Oh Kelly , what a precious moment on your run. Yes, there are times that we just have to 'be still and KNOW that He is Lord'.

Beautiful inspirational card Kelly and a fab sketch.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Kelly. It is so peaceful with the blue and yellow. I am glad to see that you had time to sit down and enjoy your surroundings. Sometimes we just don't take that time and we miss out on so much.

ReplyDeletei need to follow your example and play with patterns more...another spectacular creation Kel!
ReplyDeleteI need to pull out my scraps and make a huge pile of these with my ODB scriptures!! What an inspired design, Kelly!! Lucky for me I am in the middle of organizing my DP scraps!!
ReplyDeletewow...you are a whiz with that button and twine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, and I couldn't help but notice that 'document your story' really stands out on the lower right corner paper. Perfectly reflecting your post, I might add!
ReplyDeleteYour post was so inspiring! I think the hardest thing for me is to remind myself to take time to be quiet so I don't miss those moments with God.
