Psalm 139

I love this psalm...what a beautiful love letter from the Father to me.


Psalm 139: 1-18 "Lord, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even though you are far away. You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live. Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it. You are all around me. You are behind me and in front of me. You hold me in your power. I'm amazed at how well you know me. It's more than I can understand. How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there. Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east and then cross over to the west where it sinks into the ocean. Your hand would always be there to guide me. Your right hand would still be holding me close. Suppose I were to say, "I'm sure the darkness will hide me. The light around me will become as dark as night." Even that darkness would not be dark to you. The night would shine like the day, because darkness is like light to you. You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother's body. How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother's body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there, your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them. God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up. If I could count them, they would be more than the grains of sand. If I were to fall asleep counting and then wake up, you would still be there with me. 23-24 God, see what is in my heart. Know what is there. Put me to the test. Know what I'm thinking. See if there's anything in my life you don't like. Help me live in the way that is always right. "


Here is a layout I made with this verse written on it.

This kit is the new shabbyprincess freebie 'Spontaneous Delight'...it's very yummy! My layout was a scraplift of Vanessa's layout HERE.

Digital Scrapbooking

On Thursday I bought a new printer ...YAY!!! Its a Canon MP610 and prints photos beautifully.

I have been printing off all my digital scrapbooking layouts in 8x8 inch and have a lovely AMM album to put them into. I have discovered that I hadn't saved about 6 of them in a large format so I can't print them, so I am re doing some of them that I don't want to lose.

One of them was one I made last year that I love. It's called 'Lord, Heal our Land'...it took me ages to find all the photos again and while searching I was deeply affected by some photos I saw on Google Images...especially when I googled 'famine'. We are so blessed to live this life here in Australia.

Here's my layout if you didn't see it the first time.

Dodgy Photos

When Ashlee was a baby we had a cheap camera and couldn't take nice close up photos, so I don't have many baby layouts in her album. This layout has some of those dodgy photos cut up into small photos to get rid of the backgrounds.

I used the Cricut Machine for the scallop frame and flowers and the cuttlebug to emboss the flowers.

Finally!

This layout has been made and waiting for the owl for about 6 months or more!
I finally got around to ordering an owl online so I could finish it. (Click on the layout to view it larger)

Circle Journal Round 7

Here is my entry into Neek's Circle Journal. Her theme is 'Faith & Me'.

Grunge Board

I had my first play with Grunge Board last night. I inked over the harlequin print with a red distress ink pad and then smodged it (wings, hearts and hinges)
I love how this layout turned out.
