Here I go again

2/6/2012
I made a 3 scrappy resolutions in January; have all of my 35mm roles of film developed,  to use up some of the paper and embellishments in my stash, and to complete 1 project by the end of January. Here we are...in the 2 week of February...How much have I accomplished...

Let's see...NUTHIN. Nuthin at all. Not one role of film has been developed, I purchased more paper and stuff, and I'm still on the same project.  Why is it so had to follow through on a fiery decision. You get pumped up, give yourself a pep talk and get your family and best friends to agree with you. Ready, set, go! Then what happens?

I wonder how God feels when we make promises to him and are on fire to live for him and THEN we fizzle out and give up. Give up before we ever get started.  We churchy  folks know all the right scriptures:Philippians 4:13 I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me...Romans 8:37 in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. We can go on and on. My mom says " If you can trust Him for one thing, you can trust him in all things. God if Faithful".  Faithful?  FAITHFUL? FAITHful? Yes, our God is faithful in all things.  God knows that we are weak in the flesh, he know the power of the mind over the will of the spirit. He knows and he understands how hard it can be to overcome.  He has promised that we can be overcomers just like he overcame all that he was faced with. Trust me, I don't want to lower or diminish what he did  during His temptations. I simply want to convey that He is faithful, understanding, and able to help us to overcome. We have got to be bold and say "It is written, I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM WHO STRENGTHENS ME."

Now, lets go before the Father in prayer. We have the tools and the abilities.

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She ha...

Not only because my maternal grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer; but because my mom had a scare a few years ago.  In 2009, the Lord healed me from ovarian cancer. To God Be the glory for the things he has done. I give him praise for healing me and for the courage and hope that i received from my mom and my grandmother.  Yes, Lord we need a cure.  My prayers and ...
