"Whose Hands Hold Your Problems?"

We made it to Friday my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
Are you looking forward to this weekend?  Do you have plans for Resurrection Sunday?  Are you on vacation next week with your children while they are out of school?
Spring Break!!! I remember looking forward to this time of the year when I worked in the classroom.  I knew that once we came back off of that vacation it was all down hill until school closed.  Do I miss those days....what do you think?
Are you having problems whether big or small in your life?
I've had some problems in the past as well as some that happened this week.  Some things were easy to solve...some too big for me.  The small problems (computer crashing) were handled by myself and a computer expert.  Those that required a miracle were/are being handled by God.
Someone wanted to know "How does one put a problem in God’s hands and not steal it right back, more often than not, unintentionally?"  Think about this!  Do you put it in God's hands and then steal it back? After all, this isn’t your problem any more; it is God’s—so stay out of God’s business and mind your own business.   Once it is in His hands, it belongs to Him and not you anymore.
Here is a card reflecting my question for today:

Enabler's List:

Neenah white cardstock; black Recollection cardstock; Designer Paper from Colorbok, Delilah; Ranger watercolor paper

pink watercolor

stamp: Stampology fancy flourishes

Martha Stewart butterflies and Recollection faux gems

 



Everybody cannot handle your problems.  Decide whose hands should be holding your problems and leave them there.  Don't steal them back!
Thanks for your time and comments.  Have a fantastic Resurrection weekend.  Give God some LOVE.

Sending you a hug and LOVE,

Lois

"Irresistible, Incredible Watercolor"

Hello to Thursday friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
I'm playing in the water again!   It's warm outside but not enough to go swimming so I decided to get my fingers and paper wet .  It's so irresistible (too attractive and tempting to be resisted).  Every time I mix those colors with water, they appear to get better and better. They are so incredible, making it hard to believe what happens in the process.  No matter how I try, I cannot at this time produce two of the same backgrounds.
The cards I made today have no specific design or directions.  I took out Ranger's watercolor paper, my watercolors and two brushes and mixed some colors and water together. After a period of drying time,   I found a sentiment that could be used on both cards and basically they came together.  I did put more effort into choosing the mat layering  than anything else in these projects.

I going to enter this in the challenge weeks #222-223--Anything Goes at WordArtWednesday.

May the Lord make this day special for you...
