Was not expecting that ending! Found it very refreshing. This day and age, it's easy to keep quite and not 'invite trouble', so I am glad you spoke up. There is a channel I watch that you might enjoy and find value in. The channel is Center for Biblical Unity. I'm not a Christian myself, per se, but grew up with it and find their shows enlightening.
This was a great chat time. God bless you for speaking boldly. I live in Perth Western Australia and I am incredibly blessed to attend a church where the word of God is preached faithfully and without apology. My husband and I have a home group with 11 regular attendees. Our focus has been on learning how to study scripture and spending time encouraging each other in our various challenges in life and faith. It is such a blessing to us all. We are at present focussing on and studying prophecies about looking forward to the return of our precious Saviour, Jesus Christ! How blessed we are😊. Thanks so much for sharing. That was very unexpected, but truly blessed me today. Knowing that all over the world, God's children are serving and following Him every day is just so encouraging. I'll look you up in Heaven honey❤
I think we also need to serve our church. My church is the people and community more than the building, and the more I participate, the more the church serves me. I appreciate your willingness to ask tough questions and stir us up. God bless you. I've been stamping for years, and I may have seen today's technique before, but I appreciate the reminder.
I enjoy listening to you speaking from your heart. I’ve been on a journey to wellness myself. Also, I am looking for a church family where I feel at home. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. God bless 🌸
Thank you for spreading God’s love while making beautiful cards. What a blessing. I am going to subscribe to your channel because of your love of the Lord.
I love your positive comments. It makes me think and I love the fact that you do that too. I love card making and I love God. You're my kind of person. I'm Catholic and there are no women priests. Some people don't like Catholics but I'm okay with that. That's their choice.
Just stumbled across your video and was happy to see both the technique and your courage in speaking out about your faith. I was a little ?? at first with the question, until I understood what you meant by the church serving you. Serving by teaching the whole word and filled with the Spirit - yes! And when we know, WE are the church body - spreading the message. The battle is spiritual and we must be “battle ready”.
Lovely to get this video up firstly to see your a believer and not ashamed to talk about your beliefs. I'm from Ireland. I agree about woman pastors not in pulpit. Love your idea with the dies, amazing the difference they make. God bless in your craft tutorials. Evelyn.
Preach it girl! And Amen to everything you said. I admire your courage for standing strong and standing up for Jesus. He will bless you for that. Love your videos. Glad you’re back. ❤
Anna, I understand and know exactly what you are trying to convey. I have experienced what you are talking about and until now thought I was alone in the feelings and thoughts I was experiencing. Thank You for showing and telling me I am NOT alone.
Thank you for showing this technique. I plan to try it. I appreciate you sharing what is on your mind and in your heart at the end of your videos. I always come away with something to think about. ❤
Anna I hope you’ll notice my comment under @r1teri comment! I know it makes us uncomfortable in today’s world to quote God’s truth, but you’re definitely doing what we are called to do! I applaud your efforts!! Blessings!
I am so thankful that you share your faith! You’re so right with your insight about our churches serving us. I’ve been inn church all my life, and have seldom thought about church serving me, because I was trying so hard to serve my church. That;s a good thing, but our church serving me will help me grow spiritually.
Oh my gosh, love the cards. But love the message much more. I love how my church serves my husband and myself. You nailed it girl, talking about the Holy Spirit. Wow, it’s a powerful feeling to have that in our church. We also serve ourselves by ministering to those in nursing homes and assisted living places; to serve those unable to get out to go to a church. God bless you Anna. Keep following what God is laying into your spirit and speak truth. You are in my prayers.
Anna, you were spot on with your end conversation! Too many churches today have gotten so far from the Bible and how God tells us to live! I so appreciate your “conversations”!
Ab-so-lute-ly love the die tips, but LOVE the "church" discussion even more! I've read the Bible through for the past 20+ years; learn something new each time, as the Holy Spirit reveals it to me. You spoke the TRUTH, Anna; never back down!
I so appreciate all you said… and I agree! I love our church… no not one of us are perfect though. But we are taught the truth. We believe in repentance… conversion…. As the Bible teaches we must be born again. We are fed every Sunday…and my heart says Amen to His will. We are taught to love and forgive and aren’t those a must in everyday living? I love my Lord…and we are a happy family😊. At the same time… my heart is saddened by those who are struggling…and we must reach out to help where we can. I love your cards. Making cards is my happy place…
9:30 -- "If you don't go to church, maybe consider if that is something you might want to start doing." -- Just the nudge to get back to full activity I needed. Thank you.
Thank you for having the courage to speak out about Jesus. My church is serving me! I have been in over 30 Bible studies. We learn so much from sharing with each other. We have currently been talking about "Don't give the enemy a seat at your table". It has helped us all to realize what things we need to focus on and what things we need to let go. God bless you!
Love your card ideas❤ I also appreciate what you are talking about with "Is your church serving you?" We need more positivity in our world, we need to be more "Christ like" to one another. You are Wonderful! Thank you for being a child of light.❤
Been there-done that! Covid hit- church went virtual- it was not the same any longer. No one reached out to see why I was not back in church. When I’d go- I got a few hellos, but I felt invisible to my church body. The female pastor was nice enough, but I did not feel led by her. I took a year- visited several churches/ found a new church. I am in a weekly BSF study group- and a bi- weekly small group. I am welcomed to participate in so many things- am welcomed each Sunday at services. What a change! This church does not have any female pastors- but does use female supporters to greet, to open / start worship. Whole family involvement, 3 campus groups, over 13 dedications at one service last year, countless baptisms of all ages, young through adult, community outreach projects and more. I found a new home!
First time on your channel. Thank you for sharing your faith! We all need to do that more. Another question should be, Are we serving in our church? The more we give, the more we get back.
I am glad you addressed that about women pastors. It also says that Eve was deceived but Adam was not and this is why we are not to be teaching the men. Feminism has taken hold in too many churches. What people hear in popular culture often creeps into the church after time. Good for you for obeying the Holy Spirit. God is purifying his bride in these days and he is going to return to get her. We need to be in obedience and be ready for him. ❤️🙂
Amen. Such a difficult topic that definitely needs to be talked about. This past year I've been enrolled in Torah Club online. Such an eye opener as to how far the church has strayed from the word of God.
Hi I always love to watch you videos. One the card with the hummingbird I do have both bundles you used. My question is did you painted the flowers and hummingbird on Then cut the dies. I just loved it. And yes my church has been fulfilling my needs and has been supporting to my needs. It’s has been a growth spiritual and my life has changed positively in so many ways. God has been so amazing in so many ways. Thank you for your words of wisdom. ❤️❤️❤️
You did great Anna ! It’s hard to talk about things that are controversial. I tend to just be quiet, and it bothers me! Btw, my mother in law got very upset with me over the women should not be pastors.. but it is what the Bible says and doesn’t say, someday they can be. Continue to be brave😊
I think it would look cool to pop up the large piece you cut the circles from, then glue outer circle flat & pop up 2nd circle & most inner circle flat on cardstock.
Thank you so much for the videos! I like the TRAIN! but is he still available (sorry my english is not very good ...) and thank you for your encouragements, I love you! Take care of you!❤❤❤
So happy with the church I attend. Our pastor does sermons around scripture, we have group that study one book of the Bible every week. Once a month we have prayer night and even share praises. Those praise reports have helped so many. Plus if you need help in anyway they find those that will help. I have made so many Christian friends. Just pray and faith and ask our Lord to bring you to the right church. Trust me he will !!
Great cards and wonderful message at the end! I started to back out of the video when you started talking, but something stopped me. You have made me realize I've been going through the motions with church-- is been an obligation and not a feeling of Christ. I think it's time to "church shop" and find one that fills me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you for talking about what you believe!
What do you use to stick your free standing dies on the sides? 🙏🏽thank you for bringing up why people don't go to church and why. People have their reasons❤
So many church leaders are saying what their congregations want to hear (serving those with itching ears) instead of teaching the word of God. You are a true disciple of Christ when you’re speaking the truth- even when it’s not “popular”. I’m grateful for your insight and your honesty.
I heard what you said and you are being very brave to talk about what comes to mind. I spent most of a year watching church services from home after my sister died from cancer here in my care. All it did was make me miss being at church. No one was going to beg me to go back. Our children are all adults but none go to church with us anymore. I had to decide to go back to the church we have been at for 37 years, knowing it’s goods and bads or visit new churches and have to find out their goods and bads. It was easier to stay put. Keep on sharing what God puts on your heart! He does it for a reason! ❤️
I do agree that women should not pastor. You said the Bible said that. Please tell me where that scripture is. Thank you. (It would have been good for you to have given that scripture.) A lot of people could be asking the same question. Your talk was very good.
Love all your ideas and so encouraged hearing you are reading through the whole bible. As many times as you do, every time will bring new things to light. One of the things that stuck in my mind is the Satan fooled the woman by saying... hath GOD said?... I read clearly that a pastor should be the husband of one wife, BUT, the question is... hath GOD said?... Does he change his mind or is he the same yesterday, today and forever? Is Satan at work again trying to fool us women? I think he is.
It is good to talk about God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Church, faith, living out our faith by following God's scriptures of how we are to live and teach others. I have attended many Churches in the various places I've lived. I attended a Church in Walnut Cove, NC pastor by Brother Jimmy Pruitt and the Holy Spirit convicted by heart of my sins and right then and there I repented and asked God to forgive me and save me. No, I didn't raise my hand, no I didn't walk down to the front, nothing like that happened. I was just sitting and attending this service like one would attend a music concert or a movie and while Pastor Jimmy was preaching God's Word, the Holy Spirit gave me visions of how I've lived my life and showed me how it broke God's heart, how I'd hurt others, and how I'd hurt myself. I was ashamed and heartbroken and repented and asked God to change me so I could honor Him. That was my moment of conversion, of Salvation. My life has never been the same. God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are always with me and I try to live to honor Him. I am so not perfect and fail often, but my hearts desire is to honor God and I ask forgiveness and God is faithful and forgives me. I attended Voyage Church in Fountain Valley CA with Pastor Brent Wagner, and now that I've moved to the east coast, I attend 7 Hills Church in Florence, KY with Pastor Marcus Mecum. I love, love, LOVE 7 Hills Church! Our Pastor is committed to sharing God's message of Salvation and God's love. God has started new Churches in various surrounding communities thru our Church, thru the leadership of Pastor Marcus following God's leading. Online ministries, online prison ministries, Children's ministries, special needs ministries for children at our church for Sunday School, backpack programs for every student in our community each year, food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas for our community for those who need it, and so much more. We have online services for those who can't attend in person, 7HillsChurchonline.church and those who choose to visit with us online will be blessed!
Are you being fed at your church? Are they telling you all the Bible? Not just the warm fuzzies. You are right on. You are being obedient to God. Just where you should be🙏🏼
Good question: is your church serving you? Thank you, Ann, for your sharing Jesus with us. I am a longtime believer and am encouraged by your Biblical sharing! Keep strong and sharing what God gives you to speak out on.
The King James Version says women should not be pastors, women were the best Witnesses in the Old Testament. No women pastors? Ok, stop eating shrimp, stop wearing pants, and be prepared for corner stonings…
Beautiful use of layered dies. Love my church! We’ve been through ups and downs but we are in a season of growth and unity! Bible based is so important! Also I understand your meaning. We are to gather to worship him - not to be entertained. There are lots of churches good and bad. Biblical and not. Find a church that follows the Bible and encourages you to grow in your faith!
Enjoy the crafting and the cards shared in this video. Normally, I skip out on the talk session. This round I listen partially. I’m supportive of difference of opinions. Some of your beginning comments I understood, though when it came to women not being pastors, the scripture says so. I stopped. Each church/region interprets the Bible as they sees benefits them. I’m in my late 60’s, my youth was raised in a male dominated church. Those males sexually abused women, and children. I didn’t stop believing in god and good, though my views certainly changed. It has been through women pastors that I regain trust and belief again, and a more in-depth knowledge of god. If one was to I interpret the Bible in this stance, women would have no say, no life except under a thumb of a male. We all would have spent our life’s barefoot and pregnant with no voice or independence anywhere - home or in the world, that includes you here creating these videos and income for yourself. I’ll go back to enjoying the craft session and turn off your talks. I’m thankful for having amazing parents, a father who believed women were equals & encouraged his daughters to be strong and independent. Also blessed with an amazing husband, who has supportive and provided encouragement every avenue of my life. Today I’m also thankful for my ‘female’ doctors particularly in oncology. Women are extraordinary - pastors, doctors, astronauts, engineers, friends, authors, etc. We, as women, would not be here today, if one interpret the Bible with ‘that’s view. You’re are entitled to your view, though I’m also disappointed.
I meant Anna..I am looking for a new church that is not all family focused..I am a single senior and need fellowship with women in my church family. Current church does not have women's groups.
Good for you, speaking out about whether the church one attends is serving the Lord. Most denominations are no longer following Scriptures, but instead following what's popular in 'the world'. Have they really looked at the world lately? Jesus said first, and Paul reminded the early church that there would be many false teachers. We were to learn and discern.
Thank you for the reminder that even church people sin! I am one of those people that was hurt by church people and left the church and have been afraid to go back. Thank you for the reminder that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God! My husband and I will start looking for another church that can serve us and we can serve the church.
Great card technique! As for church, after 37 years in the same denominational church, I moved to a new city. I have started attending a nondenominational church that dear friends attend. My denominational choices in the area stated things on their website that indicated quite clearly they were being politically correct instead of scripturally correct. My new church is 100 percent Bible. The question is, do we serve society or do we serve God?
If seeking a church teaching the truth, ask God to show you. Do not ask other s. They will miss lead you. Ask God and the answer will come. Then you will make the right move for you.
Was not expecting that ending! Found it very refreshing. This day and age, it's easy to keep quite and not 'invite trouble', so I am glad you spoke up. There is a channel I watch that you might enjoy and find value in. The channel is Center for Biblical Unity. I'm not a Christian myself, per se, but grew up with it and find their shows enlightening.
I love cardmaking and watch a lot of card making videos. It’s wonderful that you use your platform to promote Christ. Good for you!
This was a great chat time. God bless you for speaking boldly. I live in Perth Western Australia and I am incredibly blessed to attend a church where the word of God is preached faithfully and without apology. My husband and I have a home group with 11 regular attendees. Our focus has been on learning how to study scripture and spending time encouraging each other in our various challenges in life and faith. It is such a blessing to us all.

Thank you, Anna, for truth! Thank you for plowing through your fluster!❤
Anna, I understand and know exactly what you are trying to convey. I have experienced what you are talking about and until now thought I was alone in the feelings and thoughts I was experiencing. Thank You for showing and telling me I am NOT alone.
Thank you for showing this technique. I plan to try it. I appreciate you sharing what is on your mind and in your heart at the end of your videos. I always come away with something to think about. ❤

So true, everything you said. Your "talk" at the end is an awesome part of your videos. Love them!
God bless you for speaking out for the truths in the Bible. Thanks for the card tip too
Thanks you for your boldness in sharing God’s truths.
Anna, you were spot on with your end conversation! Too many churches today have gotten so far from the Bible and how God tells us to live! I so appreciate your “conversations”!
I loved your ending comments. So many churches just don’t apply the whole word of the Bible to their religion
Ab-so-lute-ly love the die tips, but LOVE the "church" discussion even more! I've read the Bible through for the past 20+ years; learn something new each time, as the Holy Spirit reveals it to me. You spoke the TRUTH, Anna; never back down!
Beautiful cards and I love the ideas of using shaped dies to give your image more contrast to the card. Thank you for sharing your tips.
Love this!! Thank you for the inspiration today!
Love the hummingbird card! Your ‘life talks’ are wonderful and thought provoking- thank you
I so appreciate all you said… and I agree! I love our church… no not one of us are perfect though. But we are taught the truth. We believe in repentance… conversion….

9:30 -- "If you don't go to church, maybe consider if that is something you might want to start doing." -- Just the nudge to get back to full activity I needed. Thank you.
Wonderful that you share about our Lord and concern about church. I hope you can study about the seventh day sabbath❤️Blessings from Sweden!
Lovely cards 😊
I really enjoyed your chat at the end as well. 👏🏻👏🏻 God Bless x
Yes, I have a wonderful church. Thank you!
Thank you for speaking out!!
You make pretty cards, you enjoy church time, it is your belief..keeps you going,go for it, stay well , keep videos going.❤
Thank you for the class and the good talk ❤❤

Thank you for sharing your testimony this morning. I needed to hear this.
I appreciate you and your candor. And I love your cards and tips. Both of those cards were amazing.
First time on your channel. Thank you for sharing your faith! We all need to do that more. Another question should be, Are we serving in our church? The more we give, the more we get back.
Thank you for this idea. I have been puzzled with how to do something different with this stamp.
Thank you for your sharing at the end 😊
Beautiful cards. Love your tips on cardmaking and your spiritual messages. God bless you. ❤
Your supplies!!! Ohhhh what a beautiful set up xxx
This is a really awesome idea. Thank you so much. Using black dimensional might have helped hide them.
Very cute idea!! Thank you!
Excellent
Amen, wonderful thoughts today. Some people want to be entertained at church and are losing the real reason for going to church.
Love the card idea. Thank you.
I am glad you addressed that about women pastors. It also says that Eve was deceived but Adam was not and this is why we are
not to be teaching the men. Feminism has taken hold in too many churches.

I love that train stamp it’s beautiful. Beautiful cards. Thanks Ana
Amen. Such a difficult topic that definitely needs to be talked about. This past year I've been enrolled in Torah Club online. Such an eye opener as to how far the church has strayed from the word of God.
Please create a series on sentiments. I would love to see your technique
Anna, you rock 💕
Love this die cut idea! Good commentary. Nobody's perfect this side of heaven. 😊❤
Love these projects!
I love this stamp I got it because my baby brother loved trains also he worked for them he passed away 2 yrs ago
Wow!
Ohhhh! I love this technique!!!! You are so creative!!! TY!!
Love those cards
Lots of "interest" - this was fun!
Hi I always love to watch you videos. One the card with the hummingbird I do have both bundles you used. My question is did you painted the flowers and hummingbird on Then cut the dies. I just loved it. And yes my church has been fulfilling my needs and has been supporting to my needs. It’s has been a growth spiritual and my life has changed positively in so many ways. God has been so amazing in so many ways. Thank you for your words of wisdom. ❤️❤️❤️
You did great Anna ! It’s hard to talk about things that are controversial. I tend to just be quiet, and it bothers me! Btw, my mother in law got very upset with me over the women should not be pastors.. but it is what the Bible says and doesn’t say, someday they can be. Continue to be brave😊
For an even layer, stable enough to go through the mail I die cut white card and glue behind. I can raise by one layer or two for added interest
I think it would look cool to pop up the large piece you cut the circles from, then glue outer circle flat & pop up 2nd circle & most inner circle flat on cardstock.
Thank you for speaking about church
On the train
Anna - like I mentioned - now you have to see The Forge! Even though I feel my church feeds my spirit, this movie set my spirit on fire!!
Thank you so much for the videos! I like the TRAIN! but is he still available (sorry my english is not very good ...) and thank you for your encouragements, I love you! Take care of you!❤❤❤
Hi, I love this technique❤. Can you please tell me how you keep your cutting plates flat? Greetings from the Netherlands 🌷
We, my hubby and I, go to church to worship God. That is the number one reason. So we ignore what the others do.
Anna, the wild flower, die cuts.
Are they from Stampin up?
Just checking. Thank you're time. Much appreciated.
So happy with the church I attend. Our pastor does sermons around scripture, we have group that study one book of the Bible every week. Once a month we have prayer night and even share praises. Those praise reports have helped so many. Plus if you need help in anyway they find those that will help. I have made so many Christian friends. Just pray and faith and ask our Lord to bring you to the right church. Trust me he will !!

I think it's time to "church shop" and find one that fills me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you for talking about what you believe!
You don’t need to apologize for speaking your truth. You are spot on when the Holy Spirit guides you and the Bible supports it.
I didn’t hear you say anything wrong Anna. You are serving the Lord and doing what he has called you to do and he will bless you for it.
What do you use to stick your free standing dies on the sides? 🙏🏽thank you for bringing up why people don't go to church and why. People have their reasons❤

I was just sitting and attending this service like one would attend a music concert or a movie and while Pastor Jimmy was preaching God's Word, the Holy Spirit gave me visions of how I've lived my life and showed me how it broke God's heart, how I'd hurt others, and how I'd hurt myself. I was ashamed and heartbroken and repented and asked God to change me so I could honor Him. That was my moment of conversion, of Salvation. My life has never been the same. God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are always with me and I try to live to honor Him. I am so not perfect and fail often, but my hearts desire is to honor God and I ask forgiveness and God is faithful and forgives me.
I attended Voyage Church in Fountain Valley CA with Pastor Brent Wagner, and now that I've moved to the east coast, I attend 7 Hills Church in Florence, KY with Pastor Marcus Mecum. I love, love, LOVE 7 Hills Church! Our Pastor is committed to sharing God's message of Salvation and God's love. God has started new Churches in various surrounding communities thru our Church, thru the leadership of Pastor Marcus following God's leading. Online ministries, online prison ministries, Children's ministries, special needs ministries for children at our church for Sunday School, backpack programs for every student in our community each year, food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas for our community for those who need it, and so much more.
We have online services for those who can't attend in person, 7HillsChurchonline.church and those who choose to visit with us online will be blessed!
Are you being fed at your church? Are they telling you all the Bible? Not just the warm fuzzies. You are right on. You are being obedient to God. Just where you should be🙏🏼
Good question: is your church serving you? Thank you, Ann, for your sharing Jesus with us. I am a longtime believer and am encouraged by your Biblical sharing! Keep strong and sharing what God gives you to speak out on.
I'm so sorry but I am on the computer of my husband. My name is M.THERESE HOEFMAN Thank you for all you do and all you give
The King James Version says women should not be pastors, women were the best Witnesses in the Old Testament. No women pastors? Ok, stop eating shrimp, stop wearing pants, and be prepared for corner stonings…
Beautiful use of layered dies.
Love my church! We’ve been through ups and downs but we are in a season of growth and unity! Bible based is so important!
Also I understand your meaning. We are to gather to worship him - not to be entertained. There are lots of churches good and bad. Biblical and not. Find a church that follows the Bible and encourages you to grow in your faith!
Enjoy the crafting and the cards shared in this video. Normally, I skip out on the talk session. This round I listen partially.
I’m supportive of difference of opinions. Some of your beginning comments I understood, though when it came to women not being pastors, the scripture says so. I stopped. Each church/region interprets the Bible as they sees benefits them. I’m in my late 60’s, my youth was raised in a male dominated church. Those males sexually abused women, and children. I didn’t stop believing in god and good, though my views certainly changed. It has been through women pastors that I regain trust and belief again, and a more in-depth knowledge of god. If one was to I interpret the Bible in this stance, women would have no say, no life except under a thumb of a male. We all would have spent our life’s barefoot and pregnant with no voice or independence anywhere - home or in the world, that includes you here creating these videos and income for yourself.
I’ll go back to enjoying the craft session and turn off your talks.
I’m thankful for having amazing parents, a father who believed women were equals & encouraged his daughters to be strong and independent. Also blessed with an amazing husband, who has supportive and provided encouragement every avenue of my life.
Today I’m also thankful for my ‘female’ doctors particularly in oncology. Women are extraordinary - pastors, doctors, astronauts, engineers, friends, authors, etc.
We, as women, would not be here today, if one interpret the Bible with ‘that’s view.
You’re are entitled to your view, though I’m also disappointed.
I meant Anna..I am looking for a new church that is not all family focused..I am a single senior and need fellowship with women in my church family. Current church does not have women's groups.
Good for you, speaking out about whether the church one attends is serving the Lord. Most denominations are no longer following Scriptures, but instead following what's popular in 'the world'. Have they really looked at the world lately? Jesus said first, and Paul reminded the early church that there would be many false teachers. We were to learn and discern.
Thank you for the reminder that even church people sin! I am one of those people that was hurt by church people and left the church and have been afraid to go back. Thank you for the reminder that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God! My husband and I will start looking for another church that can serve us and we can serve the church.
Does your church fill your cup? So you have enough spirituality to give out during the week to help other people!
I so am filled each week at my church!
Church of God of Prophesy in Clay Hill, Florida. Praise God!
Great card technique! As for church, after 37 years in the same denominational church, I moved to a new city. I have started attending a nondenominational church that dear friends attend. My denominational choices in the area stated things on their website that indicated quite clearly they were being politically correct instead of scripturally correct. My new church is 100 percent Bible. The question is, do we serve society or do we serve God?
God.❤@@clb343
If seeking a church teaching the truth, ask God to show you. Do not ask other s. They will miss lead you. Ask God and the answer will come. Then you will make the right move for you.
I’m sorry to say I stop watching your videos when you start talking about non-craft related things especially religion.
Lovely card, and I was just about to give you a thumbs up. Sadly, the second part of the video just wasn't for me. Too preachy.
Nice card technique but don’t want to hear about religious stuff. I believe in God but don’t think this is the platform
