Abundant in Power

"Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure." Psalm 147:5

Power has been all the buzz around here this week. It's on facebook comments, it's the topic of conversation in most places, and it has caused some disruption! The "lack of" power that is. We heard on the news of this Hurricane named Lee, who was not supposed to effect us that much. We knew it was coming, the rain began and then..the lights went out!!!!The sun did not shine it's face for three days. And quite honestly, no lights and no sun can make one feel a little blah, agree? So yesterday, I went for an early morning walk and prayed and had a little talk with myself..ha!Really more than blah, I think it was just a cluttered mind from an extremely busy week!As I was almost home, I saw two power trucks headed on our street. (Let me confess, our power came on Tuesday afternoon, but most of our neighborhood still had none yesterday.) And as I headed down the hill I snapped the picture of the sun, coming through those dark clouds!!
My day only got better from there, Great is our Lord, and abundant in power. We sometimes forget that abundance of power is right there within our hearts. I needed that short time away to get back on track Just like those power trucks heading into my neighborhood, He comes to rescue, revive and restore. Thank you Lord for your everlasting restoration. May you restore the hearts of those who are in need of igniting your power within, for hard circumstances, uncertainty and even just a blah day. Let them see the sun, through the clouds. Let them see the SON. The sun is shining and the lights are on, have a great weekend, friends! Let me share my other "rays of sunshine"......

My husband, Jeff and I before starting the day..and thanks to him for the hug at just the right time this morning!

My beautiful daughter, Abby..who will be going to the sixth grade "traffic light"party this afternoon..notice she's in red...for STOP:)))
And my little man, Luke eating his favorite chocolate chip pancakes and watching some TV before school!
"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see your power and Your glory." Psalm 63:2

Let God turn on your power, it's for His glory!

P.S. And for a laugh...do you know that song..."I GOT THE POWER...ump..ump..ump..ump"..now it's in your head...smiles!

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!
