Biblical Quote for Girls Room
In the midst of designing my daughters nursery, I would like the muralist to paint in words, a notable biblical quote.....
Do you have any suggestions or a favorite website that will help me make this selection a bit easier?
Thanks for your time,
K.

How about:
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made!"
Or if you have room for something longer: "You created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" Ps 139:13,14
If you want an online word search/concordance you can try www.biblegateway.com
I like that one a lot.
Blessings,

For my son, it was very easy: a combination of Jer 29:11 and Jer 1:5--the phrase "A plan and a purpose". I know a lady that I've been VERY happy with who makes very high quality blankets and I had her embroider that phrase on his blanky. It's chocolate brown with ecru trim, and in ecru, in the corner, it's like this:
Joseph Samuel
A Plan and a Purpose
10/20/06
For another lady, I prayed about what was "right" for her baby, and I kept thinking "strength" (he was a preemie) and so I looked it up in the Strong's concordance (where it's got every listing of whatever word you're looking for). I found a great verse for them: Luke 2:51 and again shortened it to the key words: strength, wisdom, favor.
I suggest that's what ya do: just pray and "listen" to your heart for a keyword and then look it up in the concordance and find the best scripture for you.
In the meantime, I think these blankets are the BEST gift EVER and it is always my gift to expecting moms, lol. Very personal, and my son carries his around all the time. Check out her site at mymannablanky.com---the lady who does it is great, the work is great, I just can't say enough about it.

K.,
After trying to have children for many years, my mom embroidered this verse on our son's quilt that she made for him.
"For this child I prayed and the Lord hath given me what I asked." 1 Sam. 1:27
Blessings,

A FAVORITE OF MINE:
Psalm 91:11 + 12 (King James Version)
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
THE WHOLE CHAPTER IS WONDERFUL, AND MIGHT BE A SOURCE OF STRENGTH FOR YOU, SWEETIE. I WISH YOU EVERY GOOD THING.

"I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord "plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I have three adopted kids from Russian orphanages. This verse has become very dear to us as we have worked our way through the struggles of growing up.
A website you may want to use to search for verses with key words is www.biblegateway.com
God is soverign. He works ALL things together for good. I lost many pregnancies. I've learned this: God picks your kids - regardless of how they come to you. And he really does use the hardships in our lives to bless us. His timing is perfect and his grace is precious.
I wish you well!

Well, looks like you got a lot of good quote suggestions. I wanted to suggest a website where you can get the words and put them on the wall yourself. My neighbor had some and they looked awesome- very professional. I think it's cheaper than a muralist and so many options to choose from.
