Yes, you are reading the title correctly - September 2008. I have gotten a little behind on my monthly Bible Verse Challenge (Splitcoast) projects. So, when I was stamping with friends last Satuday, I did get one past month done.
I was memorizing and leaning on this Scripture last September:
"This is what the LORD says:
'Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.'"
--Jeremiah 6:16
I felt as though I was at a crossroads in my life and had some decisions to make. I was feeling very anxious and unsure what to do. God gave me this Scripture during my daily quiet time. I gave my worries and concerns to God in prayer and he guided me in my decisions and gave me great peace. God is good all the time!
I thought these colors gave the pages an "ancient" or at least antinque feel and I hoped the sponging around the edges of the verse would add to that. The layout was from a Splitcoast sketch challenge (207). It reminded me of crossroads. Here is the sketch:
I like how the Deisgner Filigree brads match the flower image (Always stamp set) that I stamped on the Kraft card stock.
Here is page two to this project. I have chosen to do two pages each month: one to feature the scripture and the second to journal how God used the scripture in my life. I think it will be great to look back and see all the ways God guided me in my life.
I would encourage you to memorize scripture. It is so helpful to have this guidance in "the back of my head" to pull from when I need it. God's Word is so powerful, true and everlasting.
