Encourage and build each other up... 

Seems easy enough right? Well, although this is such a powerful statement it is often times hard to walk out. When we are feeling left out, unworthy, or empty it is hard to uplift others when I fact it is us that feel like we need the uplifting. Paul talks of the days getting darker in the 1st verses of this chapter and I believe we are living in those days. We all are in need of friends and people that surround us who edify and not tear down (enough of that already). Friends, why not live loved and from a place of fullness in Him? When we live in His fullness, it impacts those in our circle of influence and we are able to spill out that encouragement into the lives of others effortlessly. I wanna live in that place where I build, encourage, edify, strengthen, promote spiritual growth, and uplift this around me- effortlessly, don't you? #illustratedfaith #if_seedsoffaithcollection #journalbible#encourageothers #hisbiblejournaling #icolorinmybible

I took the 3x4 cards from the Seeds of Faith Collection and cut them up to use as different pattern papers for the banner then adhered the alpha stickers to it. Punched holes and strung them together with bakers twine. Easy!

One of the cards is used as a tip in for hidden journaling. Added a washi tape tab and puffy cross stickers & a few little cross doodles for a completed look.
