Faith

Last night as I snuggled with hubby and the doggies, I was reminded how blessed my life is. Granted it's filled with many ups and downs, after all that's what make life a life. You can only fully appreciate the good things in life when you have experience bad stuff as well. And, I have went through some bad moments that makes me appreciate my life now very much.

And, one thing that I've learned to do through the ups and downs is to pray. Not only in bad time but in good time as well. I truly get this from my mom. You cannot only pray for when you needed help, you also need to pray when life is good. Praying saying thank you is just as important as praying asking for help, don't you think?

And, when things seem so bleak, I think as human being the one thing that help us keep going are hope and faith. As long as we have faith, we'll keep trying, keep going. Have faith that thing will gets better.

Oh, before any of you wonder if something happened to me, nothing is wrong. Ha... sometime I just go through one of my mood, where I just feel reflective and pondering about life. I am deep like  that... sometime. LOL. Other time, I am just plain goofy. :)


Stamps from Hero Arts & Papertrey Ink.


I just love this card. Trinh, see... I used the stuff that I stamped from our weekend get together. From all the stamped images that I made this past weekend, this is one of my favorite. The color is soooo me.  I think with it's soft colors it will brighten anyone's day and  the sentiment hopefully will give encouragement for when they need it.

I am entering this card for Paper Crafts 2012 Gallery Idol.

Another note, if last weekend I get to hang out with the Texas' girls, this weekend, I get to hang out with my Florida girl, Laurel Beard. I am so excited! I miss this tiny girl (hah... I don't get to say tiny to others that often) and this time our hubby will get to meet each other, too. So, looking forward to this weekend!!
