After making my Inspiration card, I used the left overs to do a BAJ page for the BAJ challenge. This month our word is Strength. My inspiration page from the inspiration challenges is here:
My BAJ page highlights Psalms 56:9-13. These verses are wonderful for someone who is looking for strength. There is a sad story behind why these verses are highlighted in my Bible. My sister was murdered many years ago. She feared for her life had highlighted a number of strength and comfort verses in her Bible. When I received my BAJ Bible, I highlighted all those same verses in my Bible so I could make sure I did a BAJ for every one of them.
I know these verses comforted her and I know they have comforted many people before and after her death. It is very sad, that a person's ego and selfishness can cause them to do such evil things...
This as a tough week for me as it was her birthday week. This week, even more than when she was killed, is the toughest for me. She was my strength in so many things...
BAJ and card making are so therapeutic!
Many hugz!!!

Beautiful Bible journaling, Nancy. Love the collage style look of your embellishments.....sometimes not as easy to assemble in a most pleasing way(as you have) as one might think.
