Mark 11:25-26

I have found myself struggling with the problem this scripture (there are others, this is just one of the ones I found) has told us to do several times lately. Actually TRULY forgiving, especially when the thing I have to forgive, pops up again, and again. So any added prayers to my own, that I can overcome this matter, and truly forgive people (not just eventually forget) would be appreciated. It would also help me be able to fulfill my obligations to the ladies I get kits from too, as I find it hard to be creative, and do layouts, when I am breathing fire. My poor DH, he is truly the best!! While he can get in the way of the fiery blast at times, he still forgives me, and comes to realize he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yes dear family, I do realize I don't deserve him, but am oh so glad God saw fit to give me to him.

So on to better times!! This layout is of my niece and I. She loved me to grab her hands and swing her around in circles when she was little. I couldn't keep it up very long, but now and then loved to do it, and hear her laugh and see that beautiful smile! Course knowing she trusted me enough to enjoy it, was a great feeling too!

Needless to say I didn't get any other layouts done today, I had big plans, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I did get tagged though by Jenni for the thinking bloggers award. For those of you who I tag, if you want to play, all you have to do is tag 5 blogs for the award-state them on your blog with links and why you give them the award and then let them know they've been tagged so they can carry on the process too! You can't tag someone whose already been tagged! Feel free to ignore the tag though! LOL I know you are all busy, and I don't care if you continue it or not!! So.... hmmm I think I will go with the 5 listed below. (ok the reasons are almost the same for some of them I know! LOL)

The Thinking awards go to....

Blushbutter - because she makes wonderful kits and gorgeous layouts. You should go to her blog and see her baby boy layouts she has been doing lately! They are wonderful!!!

Lara Payton - because she too makes wonderful kits and layouts.

Tina Williams - hmmm yep also because her kits and layouts are wonderful. She has even been able to keep up with a challenge at Divine Digital that wants a bunch of layouts, and put out some nice kits in the process.

Connie - for her managing to do layouts and make the best of things, even though she feels ill alot of the time.

JanMary - for her beautiful layouts, even though she is still kinda new at Scrapbooking!

Now I'm off to tag these ladies, and then to try to do what Mark 11:25-26 tells me to.

25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
