This layout is not visually stunning, but is really meaningful to me. This is the first time I have scrapped anything about my little brother who died about 6 weeks before my 7th birthday and at about the same time my Dad chose to abandon our family. As you can imagine this was quite traumatic for my Mom and I. This happened a few months after my Grandma gave me my first Bible (God's timing is perfect) and even though I did not learn of my need to choose Christ for four more years, it really marked the beginning of my journey walking with God. At that time I had the choice to decide whether God was a horrible being who tortured his children (or worse yet didn't care!) or that He was in control even if I didn't understand it.
The Bible verse is from my Grandma's Bible and has more to do with His comfort to me regarding the many griefs my family has experienced, than to do with sovereign. I felt the Hannah Whittal Smith quote from Patter's post was fitting. I used paper and elements from Krystal Hartley's Angels kit, purchased previously at Faith Sisters. The letters, which I am using on all layouts in this challenge are from Eva Lundqvist's Faith, Love, Hope kit. The blue lace is from Dahlia Co's portion of the Faith Sister's Collaborative kit. Fonts are CK Frankfurt and Garamond.
