New Year's Prayer - A Poem

In keeping with my challenge to write more poems, here is another poem I have written. It is based off of several Bible texts and my own prayers.

New Year's Prayer 

Cleanse my heart, oh God,

Create it clean again.

Wash it white as snow, 

Remove the sin within.

Renew my spirit, Lord.

Teach me all your ways.

This miracle you do,

God, I give you praise.

As I try to live for You,

A worker in the field,

Mold me and refine me.

Lord, my life to You I yield.

Put me anywhere,

Lead me as I go.

Nothing will I fear,

You're with me, that I know.

The path is not easy,

The mountains rough and steep.

My trust in You I place.

My footsteps You will keep. 

Altered Book Pages

Well, I didn't post a thing the whole month of December because of the holidays and family. I got to see my older sister and brother-in-law (I haven't seen them in two years!). I had a wonderful, quiet Christmas and New Year's was pretty good too. But, just because I haven't posted anything doesn't mean I haven't been busy. My dear sister brought me so many new crafting supplies and I have had so much fun experimenting with them.

One of the things my sister brought me was an old book. Now, what I've done is up-cycle the book! The following pictures are a few of the pages I have done over. Hope you like them and receive a blessing! :)

"Grow - It's finding out where you went wrong and correcting it."

"Let us lay aside ever weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
 and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."
Hebrews 12:1
