Good morning, dear friends! Cathy here with a Bible Journal page to share with you. Outside is dark and all is quiet as I sit and write this post, but in my heart I am praising my God and thinking back on all of his goodness!
The page in my Interleaved Bible (**love working on these full pages**) was prepped twice with clear gesso before watercoloring the background with what I call the "Acetate Smash Technique." Scribble a little water based marker on some acetate, spritz with water, and dab, smash and smear it on the page. Dry with a heat tool and continue layering on the colors. The images and words were stamped using the Sing Loud, Words of Life: Common Words 1, and Rebecca Script Alpha (to add the "s" on the word praise) stamp sets from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store. The images were then watercolored using the same markers used for the background.
Many times in the psalms we read how King David was being pursued by enemies, was in despair, was considering the prosperity of the wicked, and was feeling the weight of his circumstances. His response was to begin thanking and praising God for His goodness. As a result, even though his circumstances did not change, he was able to find rest for his soul.
So, my friend, if you are struggling with circumstances right now, God is still good. He loves you with an everlasting love. Begin to praise Him and get ready for a heart change.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! Have a wonderful day praising the Lord!
Hugs,
Cathy
