Has this ever happened to you? Things in your life are going fine, nobody has been sick for a while, the vehicles are running well, no major dilemmas with your home and then BAM!, everything just hits at once! Suddenly your child is hurt or sick, something needs repaired on your vehicle and things start tearing up around the house. Maybe not that same scenario, but you know what I'm saying. Sometimes it seems like we are just bombarded with trouble, sickness, pain, and aggravation. If you are a Christian, those things will still happen! If they didn't happen to us, I am sure there would be more Christians just for the sake of not having problems anymore! The truth is we have the same stressful times as anyone else but the difference is we have a POWER source that keeps us going!
When I was working in the Emergency Room one night, there was a really bad storm coming. As it turned out, the bad storm became a tornado and those strong winds knocked down power lines and the lights went out! The hospital was not caught off guard by this. They have back up generators so just about as quick as the lights went off they were back on. I think that is how we are as Christians. When the storms of this life rock our vessel and we are shaken to the core, sometimes we lose our strength, our power to go on. As a Christian, though, we have God's generator that will kick on and power us through whatever we must face. When our strength just isn't enough, His always is!I have been participating in a Scripture Challenge for over a year now. Each Sunday, here at Hoosier Card Angel's Creations this month, I have been sharing my 8½x11 scrapbook pages with you here. I pray that they are a blessing to you. It truly is wonderful to look up the week's challenge words Patter has chosen. Even though I am not "up to date" on the challenge itself, God's Word is alive and it is so amazing to me how perfect the words are as I study them. It's just simply wonderful how it just fits my life so perfectly. Here is my page this week:
If you cannot click on the photo to enlarge this, the scriptures I used are from the New Kings James version:2 Samuel 22:33
Hebrews 4:12
Romans 1:16
I Corinthians 1:18
Romans 15:13
I hope this has blessed you and if you would like to participate in this challenge, click HERE for the list. I'd love to see your cards or scrapbook pages, too!
Angel Hugs,

Wonderful way to say this. Had it not been for a generater this week this whole family would have crumbled. It is nice to remember with God we can make it through.
