february's prayer flag

february's prayer flag was themed as faith and had to include hands.

 i didn't want the hands to stick out too much and i couldn't really figure out what to do, but i came across a stamp from stampin' up that fit the bill.  all i had to do was a color it in a bit with some markers.

and i lightly stamped the word faith above the embroidery.

my planner - week 5

it's hard to believe i've finished up week four and have begun to work in february's pages.

week 4 finished

here are the starting pages for february.

february's word for the month is pray.

pray without ceasing. to me that's being mindful in every moment and seeing god in all circumstances, in all people and in things. it means, to me, to be in a constant communing with god.  have i achieved that? no. but i do work on it daily. and i'm proud of that, no matter how far i have to go to be worthy.

 

this is my february divider.

this is my month at a glance pages with week 5 verses to ponder on.
