Ash2Ash CD Give-Away! "Card of the Week" Give-Away!



Hi Everyone~

PDCC#57

I hope you are ready for an exciting day!  We have not one but 2 great give-aways today!  I had to stop and take a time out this this week. I was so busy making cards, working on the Card Drive for the American Cancer Society and trying to get some gifts when I realized I had cut my time with the Lord to bed time, and prayer time for people on my prayer list to a minute hear and there.  Not what I wanted!  Not what I should be giving to the Lord!  He is SO Worthy!  He deserves as much time with Worship that I can give, and I love to pray for the people on my list.  I didn't want to rush through it.  I took this morning off and spent some time with the Lord.  I feel so much better.  I had time to be silent.  I had time to Praise Him, time to ask for advice!  He IS Able...and Mighty...and Worthy...and Magnificent...and more.  Please learn from my lesson.  Adjust your schedules if need be.

The card you see on the top right is made for the Play Date Cafe Challenge.  I told you that I tried out for that Design Team, they are trying to let everyone know if they made it this week.  I will let you know when I find out!  The Lord knows what is best...I'll wait.  This week they challenged us to use the brown, grey and silver.  Brown...easy to find...easy to use.  I added some chocolate colored glitter by PK Glitz over the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress ink that served as the ground.  I used some spiral paperclips given from a friend, as the flower buds, and my Sakura Gel Grey Pen for leaves and stems, the Butterfly...is the star of the show!  I found her next door in the garage sale for a quarter!  I added some Silver Stickles and her wings were already different shades of brown!  Great purchase!  I cut a cloud of grey dp from 3Birds, and stamped a Sentiment by Mother Teresa from a SU! Stamp set named "Butterfly of Happiness."  Let's hope they like it!  I do.

Surprise coming on Wednesday...

He IS Able,

OK--Surprise time!  First let me thank each of you who have been able to send cards for the Card Drive I am doing for the American Cancer Society.  I needed 50 sets by the 8th of this month...we are only 20 sets away!  Congratulations on pulling together and we are almost at our goal.  I thank my friends who also posted this on their blogs and such.  We will make this goal!  Don't worry if we go over the goal...I need 100 sets on hand for the BIG April Event!  (I need the cards by Mid-March.)  All details are on the side bar.  I thank each of you whether you were able to donate at this time...or not.  I can say we are in need of about 300 size A2 envelopes...not square...at this time...otherwise, I will be making some serious envelopes.  Look how the Lord is providing!  He provides in such a big way!  Thank you Lord Jesus!

(I apologize for how late this blog is being posted today.  I have had no Internet power for quite a while!)

Surprise Time!!  (I wish I could add glitter to my typed words...because this is great!)

Who likes Contemporary Christian Music?  Who likes singing along at the top of their voices when you don't think someone else can hear?  Who likes praising the Lord through Music?  Who knows at least one Scripture about Singing for Joy to the Lord?  My friends, you are going to be thrilled!!!!!!

"Do not neglect your gift" 1Timothy 4:14

I have been fortunate to come into contact with Ash2Ash!!!!  I know you have heard of them! Their new CD has such a great name.  It is also the name of an awesome song on the CD.  It is called, "He Will Meet You Where You Are"  Isn't that so moving?  Great name!  Super Song!  It is so true!  I have been listening to their music every day for a month or more...it is really great!

Ash2Ash: "He Will Meet You Where You Are" is their 4th CD!  Here is a little info on their music:

"This CD transitions Ash2Ash to its new, fuller sound in the contemporary gospel genre. Features 10 songs -- 9 original works and Ash2Ash's much-requested "Mainline" medley. This CD features Ray Jones and Terry Metz. "

Just think about the names of these songs...and how they fit with your relationship with the Lord!

1 - Celebrate     2 - Stand Up   3 - Never Alone     4 - Still Worthy

5 - He Is Lord     6 - Jesus, I Love You So     7 - It's About Time

8 - So Hard      9 - Mainline Medley      10 - He Will Meet You Where You Are

I tell you their Mission Statement is so personal, so meaningful.  Here it is:
"Our mission is to lift up the name of our Lord Jesus Christ by sharing God’s love through testimony and song. Our Prayer is that our music will touch the hearts of the lost and strengthen Christians in their faith."

Their website is Ash2Ash.  Easy to remember.  Here is the link: Ash2Ash
