| Chunky Lower Case Alpha |
Wacky that we're already to August!
Even more amazing is the release for August at SweetnSassyStamps.com! YAY!!
I've enjoyed the variety of what has become available. We have a sweet new alpha that I'm using today, called, "Chunky Lower Case." It's one of my favorites - I LOVE chunky fonts! A couple months back, Korin also released a stamp set with textures, and the set I'm using for background interest is called, "Texture Tile 2." VERY, VERY good set! These with the printable bundle, made by our very own Diane Noble, made the page you see up top.

| Words of Wisdom Printable Bundle |
When the "Words of Wisdom" printable was created for this month's release, I was
excited. Nervous, and excited. Why nervous?
Because whenever I ask God for Wisdom, I'm faced with the responsibility
to act wisely. Makes sense doesn't
it? When my kids ask for a drink of
water and I give it to them, isn't the expectation that they will drink
it? Hmmm….
I think God does the
same with His kids. When we ask for
wisdom, knowing that He will give it to us liberally and without reproach
(James 1:5), we can expect He would like us to utilize it. I know sometimes I have the correct and
wisest course of action in front of me, and I can still choose to NOT follow
through. Why in the world would I want
to do that? Why would I ask God for His
abundant wisdom, but not apply it?
Maybe it's that I'm
selfish and merely want my way anyway; but as much as that can be true, I think I forget too, that wisdom is a
precious thing - a treasure!
The scriptures of
Proverbs 8 and 9 leave an impression that wisdom is your best and closest
Friend. They seriously - and with great
detail - depict wisdom as a person - of a feminine nature, no less! Wisdom is something that possesses
personality, opinion, and will! And,
it's something with whom God wants us to become very familiar.
I think of older
people - "seasoned" ladies and gents - when I think of wisdom. There is value to having lived a substantial
amount of life. It's why God says
children need to listen to their parents!
As faulty and imperfect as we are, children are supposed to look to us
for wisdom in certain things. Yikes!
But further still, I
feel like wisdom is "out of reach."
Sometimes, I just feel like I don't need to seek His wisdom because I
would not handle it rightly. Listen: God
doesn't give us wisdom contingent on our being able to handle it rightly; He
gives it to us because it's our lifeline to making EVERY LITTLE DECISION of
life! And it's one that He hands over to
the one who seeks it - even me!
Anyone at ANY time
can gain this wisdom that was with God "ages ago." (v. 23) I love how Proverbs 8 explains Wisdom's
presence WITH God in the beginning.
Above all else, Wisdom handled the matter of creation alongside
God. God utilized Wisdom in all His
decisions, creations and dealings with man as well. He used Wisdom to make man, heal man, and win
man! What's more, God gives us this very
notable, valuable gift of Wisdom to connect us to Himself!
"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (9:10) WOW!
"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (9:10) WOW!
This I love beyond
all else. God gives us an idea of how to
become wise (living in reverential awe and worship of Him), so that He may have
relationship with us! WHAT AN AMAZING
GOD! Why? Why would He want so badly to be in communion
with us?
The answer is in the beginning - back where wisdom was with God - when
the good Lord created man in His image, to bear His light and life! He wants us for His glory.
It seems weird to
think that wisdom brings us closer to God, doesn't it? But becoming wise, is not just about being
smart or having an intellect; the act of becoming wise means that you have just
entered into a full encounter with God Almighty, and He's ready to infuse you
with this incredible gift!
SO YES! GET WISDOM! Get Wisdom, and get close to God! Get as close as you possibly can to God!
I want this
Wisdom. I have BFF's but THIS one, I
need more than anything! Yes, LORD! Give me Wisdom!
Much love,
Deeds
