I worked on a layout yesterday after being inspired by some photos that I had taken of some propagations that I had going. Have you ever thought about how the growth of plants is much like life in Christ? Here's the layout that I made using Connie's Paint Chips Sweet Pea kit and her Pics Galore Vol. 48 Template pack.
Just in case you can't read the journaling:
Plants are the very picture of life with Christ. When you allow God to lead, new life, growth, new beginnings, and renewal can happen. Sometimes you have to be stripped down to the very beginning like the wet stick/node pieces in the top-middle photo. But given time, nurturing, and the right light (Christ), what was once lost is new again.
This verse was placed on my heart today as I thought more about what God has said about our growing in faith.
As I continue to pursue a life with Christ as my Savior, I know that I can only represent Him to others if I have a personal relationship with Him. Peace in this life isn't possible without walking in faith. There are too many distractors, too many roadblocks, too many emotions to sift through on a daily basis. Only God can sift through it all and provide us with a clear path.
Here is one of my favorite songs that expresses this hope.
May this encourage you today. My prayer is that in this chaotic world, that you will find peace, that you will feel the love and grace that God has given us.
