Poor in Spirit

  Hello Again! 

Scripture word study.  It always seemed overwhelming to me.  I finally gave it a go; I followed along with a video in the Bible Journaling Tips and Tricks FB group.  Deeds Cason is a fabulous teacher.  So here is my first go of it~

I kept things fairly simple so I could work on getting a system down.  I started by sponging a little bit of distress ink around the edges of the journaling page.  I chose the poppies from the stamp set, Precious Poppies and stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on heavy weight Printer Paper.  I kept the poppies white, so used some W Copic markers for shadows.  

I used a variety of stamp sets to for titles and headers~

• God the Father Stamp Set
• Skinny Lower Case Alpha
• Greek Alpha- I was so excited to get this set! 
• Worship the Lord
• Books of the Bible- I could not wait to get these either! 

All in all, this was a great learning experience and I will definitely being doing more.  More importantly, I have always thought the Sermon on the Mount was a bit confusing.  'Blessed are the poor"  made little sense to me.  I have a much greater understanding of this verse now.  I am looking forward to working through the entire Sermon on the Mount to delve deeper into the qualities of the people that were blessed.  Also, did you know that in the Greek blessed can be translated 'happy'?  

Thanks for stopping by and have a 'happy' week!
