scrapbooking your faith - winter

This was my January SYF. We discussed having winters in our life. Times when things aren't always going right or are "darker" so to speak. Winter with it's starkness and lack of light can feel that way at times. It's during those times that we need to focus more of our time and energy on God and his wisdom. If we rely on him, he can direct our paths and help us through the harder times. He can help us focus on the beauty that winter brings into our lives. I know I love to look at an area (especially a wooded area) after a fresh batch of snow has fallen. Sometimes it's almost magical and extremely beautiful. What we have to remember is that the winter times help strengthen us and helps us persevere.

I know it's not really the time to think about winter in the middle of a hot spell of our summer. I apologize for being so far behind. I guess you could say at this time, I'm still going through a winter of sorts with trials. I know though through it all God will remain faithful and I will persevere.


These pages mainly use the Big Shot, but it also uses the Snow Swirled stamp set.
