SSIC Shining

It is time for this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge and this week I am honoured to be the hostess.  We are really blessed to see so many of you playing along and love to read your comments and encouragement - thank you!

The scripture I have chosen is:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 Psa 119:105

and my challenge is to create a card/project in soft pastel palette - black or white can be used as a neutral.

I have create dtwo cards for this weeks challenge, the first is using a free digital image and Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles along with the Fancy Tags Three - the divine bling is Nestabling from Want2Scrap and the paper is from My Mind's Eye™

My second card has been created using a scripture from our sponsor, Inspired Stamps.  I was thrilled to see one of the sets I received from Antionette had the very scripture for this weeks devotional and I could not resist using it!

I have also used Spellbinders Floral Oval, all Dies on both cards have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.

A Seam Binding bow and a gorgeous bling corner designed by NinaB Designs for Want2scrap.

The lamp is an imageby Darkroom Door....it is the first time I have inked it and definitely will not be the last!!

This verse of scripture always speaks to me of how specific God is - he is a light to our path - to show us where we are going, the big picture, His Word is also a lamp unto our feet, to light the very next steps we take! He lights our way in the dark, to prevent us stumbling over obstacles or falling down cliffs, or even just wandering off the path onto things that would lead us into danger or even turn us away from God's path for our lives.

The light unto our path speaks to us not only of God lighting our way so that we can walk safely and see any dangers ahead, but it clearly symbolises the Word of God being our guide.  As we study it and take 'onboard' it's teachings, will clearly see the path, avoiding all of the pits and obstacles, missing those distractions or byways, that can be so cleverly disguised and would lead us astray.  God's Word is a light unto our path - a guide for us to heed.

The concept of a lamp, to me, is something that is close by, even held in the hand to bring light directly onto something close by.  A light is more general and sheds light on everything around us - on His works and all that we do.  It seems that God has all aspects covered - but there are no surprises there!

I pray the Light of the World will continue to shine on us, in us and through us!
