Learning From Abram

 Hello Friends, 

I have been doing a lot of reflecting and asking God to search my heart and reveal sins to me.  One thing that has hit me is how much I respond to things in fear- which means I am not trusting God with the situation.  

In Genesis 12:10-12, Abram and Sarai are entering Egypt.  Instead of trusting God, Abram takes over when his fear gets the best of him.  And this isn't the first time Abram lies to save his skin.  I can so identify with him.  Looking back, I can see years of doing things out of fear.  

Not to worry- God did not condemn Abram for his lack of faith.  He used him, flaws and all to become Abraham, the father of many nations.  This is what I need to remind myself of.  I am worthy, I am a child of God, I have been forgiven.  


It has been a while since I did any Bible journaling, but I am currently in a Bible study on The Apostles Creed and reading through the Bible, using the Bible Recap App.  I am hoping to journal more frequently as I work my way through scripture-but I am not beating myself up if it does not happen! 

Anywho, I am a bit rusty with Bible journaling, especially with the page background.  I used Lyra Watercolor Crayons and watercolor brush pens after prepping the page with clear Gesso by Dina Wakley.  I dried the page with a heat tool.  The flowers and leaves were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, then fussy cut out.  I used the Flower Garden Stamp Set, Long Stem Silhouettes Stamp Set, True Beauty Stamp Set, and Spread Your Wings Stamp Set, all from Sweet n Sassy Stamps.  

The alpha set used is School Days Alpha Stamp Set.  I also used The Lords Battle Stamp Set and Inspirational Word Art 1 Stamp Set.  The words were stamped with Versafine Black Ink and outlined with a white gel pen. When all was done, I ironed the page with a craft iron.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!
