Grace is such an amazing person and has a HUGE heart not just for people but for GOD!! Grace chose this scripture:
Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
I must say, I very seldom go into my prayer closet so to speak. Being a busy mom of two I do most of my praying either while driving or while I wait in the parking lot to pick up my kiddos from school. See this is the thing about God , he hears you wherever you are. He will NEVER say I am too busy too listen right now, he is there when you call upon him and that, my friends, is one thing that got me totally hooked on GOD ;D. We all know that God is an omnipresent God, so there is no worry that he won't hear my cry, or my rejoicing, he is right there with me!! All right, got my little little message out for this morning and now I am sure you all would like to hear what the challenge is for today, right?
Well, here it goes:
Create a card or project that has something hidden from first view. It could be many things... an envelope, a pull out, doors that open to reveal something, a Joy Fold, Flip Flop, Magic, Slider...anything that you don't see at first glance.
For my card I went the easy route, but I'll have to show you two pictures so you'll see my hidden message :D:D
Thinking of You.......
Here you can't see the message
and here you can
Recipe: Paper: PTI White, Simply Chartreuse, Basic Grey Olivia
Stamps: ODBD Thinking of You
Ink: Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Worn Lipstick, VersaFine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Nested Hearts antique pink cotton crochet lace , paper roses, pink half pearls, MayArts leaf ribbon (which I cut apart and added under the roses), butterfly, Recollections pearl brad
So, what do you think? I know it is nothing fancy, but I have a hidden message, right? :D:D

What a gorgeous card. I love the way you hid on your card. What great inspiration. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this week's scripture. Thanks for reminding us that praying in secret can happen anywhere. I hope you have a wonderful blessed week. HUGS!
A clever girl you are my friend. I love the little flowers and the hidden sentiment, great job! I agree, I don't have a physical place where I pray, just inside my head or out loud when I am alone. It's personal, you know. *smile* Love ya Sabrina.
Aawww Sabrina ~ This is so adorable...you move from one style to another...oh how gifted you are... The colors and embellies are just perfect...as ususal, I am not surprised...TFS :)
This is so pretty Sabrina!! I love those colors and the hidden message panel you created! Beautifully done my friend!
very clever, love your hidden message and your lace with the pearls is so lovely!
What a neat way to meet the challenge parameters! And this card is delightful! Your words were a great reminder to me that it doesn't matter where I pray, you are so right, he is never too busy to listen to me. That thought is so comforting. Thanks for your words.
