(Exodus 3:14) God described Himself as I AM. A very appropriate and complete description of who God says He is. Why? Because we would not understand anything else. Moses was told to tell the people (the Israelites) "I Am has sent me to you". (Exodus 6:2) He later told Moses "L am YahWeh (YHWH)". There are all sorts of descriptions of the names given to God. All are good but the one that is perfect is "I AM." If I were to describe myself it would be simply I am. Who I am now is whom I have become from a moment ago. Who I am now will not be the same as the person I am becoming. Therefore, I am. The important thing to remember is that Jesus (I AM) lives within. He wraps my soul and spirit so that even if this mortal body is destroyed my spirit will live. I am not indestructible but the soul within is when the great "I Am" is my keeper. Jesus is the great "I AM". He is one with God. We are learning to be one with him through Christ.
My friend EM in England sent me a die that I cut out and put together a fun little project. Here is the description from package it came in. Unfortunately Docraft's site has been closed by the company that bought them out. I am unable to find this kit on the new site. Everything Art and Craft left a notice that you can explore if you wish. There are references to their web site.
Yup! A penguin die set. It had to be colored before it was assembled. It was a fun challenge to put together. None of the pieces wanted to cooperate to keep shape. When the last of the pieces was added it was easier to keep its shape. Then it wanted to fall over all of the time. 😄 So a small square of cardstock glued to the feet finally solved that issue. This is the result.
Only the fish and the square piece of card stock were glued. The rest was just slipped together. Cool and cute. Hope this was a smiley face for you today. I will share a bit of my past art work with you next week. Until then, stay safe, wear your masks and remember to always "Love The Details."
Very effective card, love the design. Lovely sentimental quote, especially when one has Faith. ♥
ReplyDeleteLoving your penguin Jim - that is super cute, and gave me the requisite smile :).
ReplyDeleteI love the I AM name of God - and yes, what great love and mercy that he how dwells in us when we come to him in humility and repentance - His grace is unfathomable!
Stay safe
Blessings

Oh My! What a fun project Jim!
ReplyDelete(The DoCrafts site and it's on line chat forum was where I started to share my crafting many years ago (2005!). I made many friends there so I remember it fondly.)
Stay safe.
What a fun penguin! Have a good and safe week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSuch heartfelt words, my friend. The penguin is so cute, but I agree, it is sooo dang fiddly to put together. I eventually got round to gifting it to you a couple years after Jill commented on my version that she loved penguins, but I'm sorry to hear the site has closed xoxo
ReplyDeleteFabulous penguin. very creative.
