Cast All Your Burdens

As I write this blog post, my heart is a little bit heavy.  Which leads me to the verse 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your burdens upon Him, for He careth for you."  I have to remind myself sometimes that I don't have to carry it alone.  He has ASKED me to lay it on Him, and I am SO grateful to serve a loving caring God who will allow me to cast my cares upon Him.

My Dad called me this evening.  He told me that he may have colon cancer.  It's not certain yet, and he will require further testing, but it still weighs on my heart.  I had the privilege and honor of praying with my Dad, and knowing that he is saved.  What a wonderful thing to know my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is in control and wants me to let Him handle what I cannot handle alone.

Today is Word Art Wednesday.  I am SO grateful for Cassandra who had the vision of starting this Christ-honoring challenge blog, and for inviting me to be a part of her Design Team where I can take God's precious Word and make it into art.  I hope that all of you will visit Word Art Wednesday and be a part of our exciting challenges.  Every week, there is a free piece of Word Art you are welcome to use (if you wish) on your project.  Here is the card I made with this week's free Word Art.

I used all Basic Grey Lemonade products, with the exception of the journaling tag which is My Mind's Eye, and some miscellaneous trims and machine sewing.

I'm entering this card in the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.  Here's a link:

I'm also entering this card in Abby's beautiful and Christ-honoring Scripture Challenge.  Thanks, Abby, for being such a constant encouragement.  Here is her blog link for her challenge:

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope that when YOU are having a bad day, that you will remember to "cast all your cares upon Him".  He really does care about you.

Blessings,
