The Blues

 Hello Friends! 

Time has a way of vanishing.  I started this word mapping before Christmas and am just now getting around to finishing it.  I was determined to complete it now and start another word from the Sermon on the Mount because I am doing a Bible study on Matthew and the Sermon on the Mount starts next week.  

Little by little I am starting to get the hang of this.  I love how this study turned out.  It was not too complicated as there are really not many definitions and uses for the word mourn which makes everything pretty straight forward.  

What struck me the most with this study is that this mourning does not refer to your general run of the mill mourning such as mourning over the loss of a job or a home or the consequences of sin.  This mourning specifically refers to mourning over that which is sin itself.  It flows right into confession and the recognition that we are in desperate need of Jesus.  Knowing how much I sin daily makes me so grateful that he died and rose again for me.  

I used a Sweet n Sassy Stamps Diamond Tile Stencil and distress inks around the edges of the paper and at the top for the focal point.  The flowers are stamped on heavy weight printer paper.  The leaves are from the Like a Sunflower Stamp Set and the flowers are from the Delightful Daisies Stamp Set.
