SALT - God's Promises

It's my turn to set the challenge this week at
so I picked
God's Promises.
So many times we are guilty of breaking promises,
or have been on the other end of a broken promise,
but what a wonderful blessing to know
that when God makes a promise it's steadfast.

I picked this verse, because I am a 'loner' a 'happy in my own company type of girl' and made this little pencil holder so this promise from God is on my desk right in front of me, to remind me about spending time with God's people, too often I hide from the world happy spending time at home doing my own thing, and because of this I often miss the blessing of being apart of God's family, and as an encouragement to myself, I picked this verse to remind me that when I am in the presence of God's family I am also in the presence of God.

Oh that was deep...are you still with me..

That circle bit in the middle is a piece from an old belt, you know the macrame type with discs in between the thread, anyway I pulled it apart and sealed some words on, then I embossed it with embossing powder, and sealed it some more, the rest is pretty easy to see what I've done, I do like the look of the beading wire wrapped around like that, I think that might be my new thing, anyway... please note! no sewing machine... an no it didn't hurt! lol!

So Come Join us at Salt this week

Good to have this one close to you in your arty space. Love that belt thingy! Hmmm do you reckon the verse means that we need to scrap more together..ROFL!!!!!

I'm still with you Gillian :) I really enjoyed reading your interpretation of that verse and what it means to you.
I think that thing out of the middle of the macramé might actually be a disc cut from a coconut! Looks like it to me....oh so 70s!!!
Love, P

I love the earthy look of this piece, and that piece of scripture too - wonderful! Like you I tend to be solitary, but I do delight in the company of like minded souls.
