Good afteroon everyone! I hope you are all doing well this Sunday, and resting in Him. I want you to know I appreciate each one of you. I was off for a few weeks, but now I'm back
--can you stand it????
Dont' forget we only have a few more days to get your Design Team applications in!! Can you believe I'll be announcing a new team on or near August 8'th????
I want to thank each of you for your support of my stamp line--I feel so blessed--Thank you!!!
Thank you SO much--and from here on out--things are going to be good. Life is Good, God is Good, and I am looking for His favor and blessings, for not only me but each one of you. My blog is a ministry, and I truly pray for each of you that visit each day. Love to you all this Sunday--and dont' worry, I'll be back to making tutorials very soon. Right now, Im' just resting in Him, and blogging with you!
So come along, and let's think POSITIVELY. Even though life isn't always easy, we have the GOD given talents he has given us. He gave them to us when we were born, and no matter how much trials, mistakes, or adversity comes our way--they are still waiting to be unlocked to His fullest potential. His talents and future promises for our life WILL NEVER be taken away. I want you to remember that--God is just waiting to open up those blessings and talents--all you have to do is let go of the past, and MOVE on with the future--go out on the limb, so he can unlock all those talents and blessings He has saved up just for you.
Imagine a room full of love, hope, desires--all the things we have prayed for, wished for, and desired. However, guess what? Unless we trust in God and let Him move on our behalf--they will be forever locked away--treasures stored up that no one will enjoy. We just have to have FAITH, trust in him *(not ourselves)*. For only when we give in completely to Him, and leave it up to Hiim that He knows best--and go out on faith--trusting in Him--pushing that dream into possiblity---- can God work--can he unlock the storeroom--and bless us with His bountiful blessings and talents to achieve those dreams. Only when we RELINQUISH our self...our own will--can we allow Him to work, and His blessings to manifest.
I am believing that God is working the Most...when we see it the Least, and I'm going to rest in Him.
Dont' forget, I'd love to have you leave me a comment, join my blog as a follower, and check out my stamps at K Andrew Designs. THANK you for being here with me today. It is a pleasure and blessing to have you here and call you friend.
I would love to see your positive projects--anything that encourages, uplifts, or puts a smile on your face is welcome! The winner will receive a FULL YEARS subscription to the scrappy magazine Creating Keepsakes!!

Cute cards from your design team. Lovely to hear you speaking so positively and really liking your new stamps (kind of makes me wish I wasn't on another sentiment design team lol) but seriously I wish you all the luck in selling them.

Kristal, it's so good to have you back. I really missed your posts (although I did enjoy the posts your DT did in your absence -- it just isn't the same). Thank you for the great words of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteLove the cards from your design team and the flowers are gorgeous and the wood with the squirrels are just too cute!! :)

Hi Kristal--nice to have you back crafting and blogging. Your ministry IS a blessing. Thank you for the reminder TO think positively. When we do, we can remember to praise God. And ya know, when we can't, be sure to give it to God.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards from your team. They always please! I am partial to Kathy's forgiveness card.
Kristal, where is your card?
I will be sure to come back (and back) to see the submissions from your followers.

I love following your blog and look forward to all of your posts. Such cute cards posted in this one, too. I'll make it a point to visit each of the blogs mentioned...tomorrow ...lol. I just finished re-organizing and cleaning my craft room and better get myself to bed. I'm going to clean my dad's house in the morning and then will be picking up two of my wonderful grandsons to spend a couple of days with us. They love to do craft projects with me so it will be a fun time for all of us !
ReplyDeleteGreat DT projects!
