Today something tragic occurred in our community. A shooting at our local mall. We live in one of the safest communities in the USA, so the touching of violence shakes our world. Many of our local friends and families are feeling fear. I've struggled with fear this week but was reminded that my God is bigger than this world. So today I'm celebrating that I stand upon the promises of my Lord. For my family and I, our faith is center to all that we do. So today I created this card in reaction to the horrible actions of one angry man, we shall respond in faith, not fear.

Walking in Faith, not fear. Today was a tragedy, one close to home. I refuse to succumb to being afraid. That does not come from the Lord. He has this, He has us safe, protected and loved. So today I prayed more, for those I don't know and those who are personally hit by this event. Today I celebrate my faith, our provision and our protection from God. (I love my Beautiful Word Bible, owning a few of them and one I can even color in! The bible journaling and art really helps me to spend more time in The Word.)

Finding hope in the midst of loss is challenging. For me, I cling to my faith. This week we had, personally, some issues rock my boat and friends held me together.. reminding me that we are not alone, that we are not abandoned and that we are loved by God. I'm cherishing this gift, especially today, in the midst of violence so close to my family. Celebrate life with me and our fun 365 Reasons to Celebrate crafting posts.
