Hello and welcome to Documented Faith Week 21 This week we are reminded that if (and when) we lack wisdom, all we need to do is ask and He will give generously. I don't know about you, but I need it more on an hour basis than just daily. How about you? I am pretty sure I am not alone. This week I am excited to announce the latest collaboration with Love Squared Designs. I am in Seattle as I type this working away on the creation of the "Blessed" Necklace. It has been such a great experience being in Lisa's workshop actually working on these for you! All of the details are listed below. Have a great week! With Love, Stephanie

The heart behind Documented Faith 2018’s theme is “Yes & Amen"  "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God."   2 Corinthians 1:20 Week 21 5/21 – 5/26 God promises wisdom  Wisdom is not only about knowledge but about the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances.  “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5  To print out this weeks verse and download, click here .

The Core Purpose of Documented Faith It is not about religion. It is about a personal relationship with Jesus. It is about developing the habit of spending time reflecting, reading, worshiping, learning and memorizing God’s word in a creative way. Documented Faith was created to remind, encourage and inspire each other to record, illustrate, document and journal our everyday moments, how God is working in us and through us, what Bible verses speak to us and how they apply to our situations, reminders and inspirational quotes and most importantly, how our relationship with Jesus and with others is growing.*There is no start date, no finish date, no right way or wrong way to do it...just the gentle, persistent encouragement in the way of an email with a verse that lands in your inbox once a week. The Nicene Creed We believe in one God,the Father, the Almighty maker of heaven and earth,of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven:by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.  *The reference to "the holy catholic Church" in both the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds refers to the universal church, not the denomination.
