Thank you Ginger for this message. I have had a day of one disappointing thing after another. I am up late having a pity party. So thank you for these words. Definitely what I needed to hear tonight.
This page turned out beautiful. I love the idea of putting the verse and journalling in a pocket as I am finding them a bit long to put on my page and still have room to play with paper and embellishments.
I like the deep pocket idea. I used to use tiny envelopes in my scrapbooks that had future secret messages for the kids whenever I am long gone. I have been clearing out my craftroom. I ran across an album that had miscellaneous photos that didn’t have a designated album to be in. I am so glad that I did. Apparently, I had scrapped that page right after we had had a blow out with our adult daughter because she had made a major mistake in her life that affected her kids…our grandchildren. I was so angry at that moment. As we looked at photos, that page showed up. It had one of my tiny envelopes in it with my “loving” message. I decided to open it. Horrors. Never write a love note when you are angry because it comes across in the note. I discarded it. I will replace the note referring to her as the prodigal daughter who we are so proud of. The kids lived through it all and came out fine. They are now young adults themselves and are making their own mistakes. You are right Ginger…we can’t change our adult kids or grandkids. We are tight with our daughter again…but it took a lot of tears, patience, and mostly God to get us all through this difficult period…and it was just that…a period of time. Sometimes, we just need to allow them to find their way. They were all raised under the same roof with the same upbringing…and yet…there is always the one that strays away…but for God. He leaves the ninety nine in search of that one. God bless you and your family. And by the way…I love these videos.☺️
Thank you for taking the time to share with me. I love my girls dearly, I miss them beyond words but I have faith it will wash out and we will find our whole family together again. They are good kids just very worldly right now. I know God will show me when and where to be to make it happen. It may not be when I want it but it will be the right time. :)
MayMayMade it has an easy technique for making a little space in a pocket. She uses liquid glue and then just squeezes the sides in a tiny bit. works great, pus since the glue dries, there's no chance of the paper "sticking" in the pocket. I also like to round the bottom corners as it helps insert the card.
It may be your least watched video…. But every life you touch counts!!! I feel the same way about my videos. I know some people do not watch me because of the twist…. But my purpose IS the twist… NOT the craft. The craft is just the venue. Our crafting will not gain rewards in heaven… but sharing God’s word will. Crafting is temporary- God’s word is eternal. We never know… there may be someone in heaven because we planted a seed. Gotta keep our eyes on Jesus and not the world. Love your heart!!!
