Sunday Musings - Faith Layouts

More and more over the past year, I have been incorporating layouts about my faith into my scrapbooks. I love how this important aspect of my life is now represented in with all our stories. Here are my two most recent layouts.

I used sketch #10 from the BPC 28 Sketches and this great die cut paper as the starting point for this layout.

 

Journaling reads: My heart's desire is to spend time with the Lord and in His Word EVERY SINGLE DAY! I often fall short of this goal, but I continue to strive to growin my quiet time and daily commitment to Him.

This next layout has actually been in the works for a couple of years. I printed the poem, adhered it to the yellow background, then added the heart and palm trees stamps several years ago at a Bible study meeting. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, so it's been sitting in my themed paper file all this time. As I was flipping through my storage binders recently, the photo of the nativity scene caught my eye, and I decided it was time to complete this page.

The Lord is my pace setter . . . I shall not rush

He makes me stop for quiet intervals

He provides me with images of stillness which restore my serenity

He leads me in the way of efficiency through calmness of mind

and His guidance is peace

Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,

I Will not fret, for His presence is here

His timelessness, His all importance will keep me in balance

He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity

 By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility

My cup of joyous energy overflows

Truly harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours

For I shall walk in the Pace of my Lord

And dwell in His house for ever.
