This is my page completed for WK 3 of the Scripture Challenge, Beauty. The verse God laid on my heart for this is I Peter 3:4, "Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
There are so many times I am challenged to show kindness and love to others. God continues to help me as I strive toeven to those who don't seem to deserve it. I seek His peace for my life and it will only come as I strive to follow His commands and love Him more.
These beautiful flowers are from my DH for my B-day. I really enjoyed them but I realized how quickly they would be gone. Beauty can be fleeting but memorable and touching esp when it comes from w/i and shown at all times.

Beautiful layout and sentiment Lela....I'm in a bible study about Esther by Beth Moore and this week's theme was "It's tough to live in a world where beauty is a treatment.." As women, we sometimes so miss the mark that God wants our hearts (and ultimately him) to be reflected and not our looks . Keep growing in HIM, my Sister in Christ!

I LOVE this page, Lela! The pictures are soo beautiful and it matches your journaling so well. After seeing your page, I am hoping to do some of the scripture challenges later this year, so I can become closer to the Lord.
