"He was With Me -
  • while I attended college with students who believed so [very] differently from me and He used this experience to strengthen my own faith ...
  • when I made the decision to marry after thinking I'd be single all of my life...
  • when our car flipped end over end seven times and we had only minor injuries...
  • when my best friend's baby was still-born two weeks after her mother died [and I was so mad at God that I didn't speak to Him for MONTHS - He was still there for me]...
  • when our first baby was born as blue as the sky with the cord around his neck...
  • when our 2nd child faced open heart surgery [and thankfully after several weeks was determined no to need it] ...
  • when one or both of my parents was hospitalized for 12 weeks prior to my father's death...
  • and He's been with me through all the anxiety filled days in between."

I did this layout for one of our classes over on the Yahoo group last year - and I've been thinking about it alot lately - maybe because I've passed this cross on the highway so many times these last few weeks while traveling for work, whatever, the reason, I felt God wanted me to share it here. [Edited - and with our recent news, I now know why.] That's just a short list of times I can recall feeling the peace that only God can give us in tough times - I'm sure there are many - many more - but it helps to remember that HE cares.

I could do a post of my own like this, Judy.....thank you for being so open about your faith. There are not many scrapbookers who scrapbook their faith on their pages. Hence your group, FaithBasedPages. :)
