A Time For Every Matter

"For everything there is season, and a time for every matter under heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1

It's fall, Ya'll! My very favorite season and I know I am not alone on that one!The mums out front (pictured)are just getting ready to bloom, to show their colors, at just the right time. The right time, the right place, the right soil, the right light,all have to take place so that little bud can have "it's time." Is it just me or does God have to drive that point home over and over and over and over? Life is a process. Each season of life is a process. I am learning to be content in the current season as I wait for the next. Right now, that season is very focused on motherhood!! I seriously try to tell my mother every chance I get how much I appreciate all she did for us...
I was in eighth grade when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was forty-four and Stage 0 and amazing!And here we are now...spending a Saturday together!GiGi,as the kids call her, bought them roller blades and they have been "in motion" ever since....
Luke did take a moment to do some advertisement for the Race for the Cure!Check out those blades! And as I have been writing this post on time, I had to stop and make the call that it was TIME to take the roller blades off in the house and settle down to a more relaxed activity...smile! It does seem that even though my schedule is extremely full, so is my heart. In a good way. Yes, I still have issues, we all do, but I have hope that each one will go through the Great Gardner and he will put them in the right place, the right soil, the right light...at just the right time and bring forth the blooms. And just to clarify that I had to snap a picture of my passenger seat today...FULL!
Groceries picked up in between carpools, on top of Jeff's shirts to go to cleaners, a basket (I call my office) with work stuff, coupon file, my gigantic FULL purse, a package to mail..I have to laugh and then just do the best I can,praise God for this time with my kids and my health, praise the Father I am able, enjoy the time, cook the dinner, talk with a friend, laugh again,share with you, my heart is full. I am ready to bloom. It's the only time this season will be this season. Thank you Jesus for this time.
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser." John 15:1

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

Image
"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!
