The attribute of God we are studying this week is 'Protector'. I loved studying this one, because it is easy for me to see God as my Protector.
The inside is computer generated and reads 'But let all those who take refuge in you be glad; Let them ever sing for joy, spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may take refuge in you'. Psalm 5:11
The photo is dear to me, as I took it about 14 years ago on a mission trip to Mexico. The girls' name is Hilary, and she was on her knees in a dirt field during communion. I was so touched by her prayer time, I had to capture it. The photo was enhanced thru Photoshop to give it a 'Monet' look and printed on watercolor paper.

This is absolutely beautiful and captures so movingly the concept of supplication to God as our protector. What an honour to see such a precious moment in a person's life as that photo depicts.

wow, sistah, the Spirit of the Lord is all over this card through your hands and Hillary's picture. You know how this could touch my heart. Love the photoshop 'painting' and the beautiful patterns. The small berries add fabulous dimension. What a wonderful PICTURE you created of the LORD"S protection.
