Lifts his Voice

"Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us: The God of Jacob if our fortress."
Psalm 46:6-7
This is all love right here! A flower for his Mommy pulled up by the root and delivered right to my car window!While we wait on Abby each day, he and a friend play in a creek by the school. This picture was taken shortly after I had posted on how you can't see roots, but just see the pretty trees. I couldn't help but giggle when he walked up with those flowers and the ROOTS. He brought them as his gift to me, he is very thoughtful that way. I told him I needed a picture because I had just written about roots! He was quick to pose and I love that smile of his anyway! I have to share this about my little guy...this morning he was telling me.."Guess what happened yesterday, Mommy? I needed the wind to blow for a game we were playing and I prayed and then...it blew..that's just how God works. Oh and we get to watch a movie at school tomorrow and eat popcorn." Talk about making my heart skip a beat. Simple truth through the voice of an eight year old. Ask and you shall receive. That's my Luke highlight for today, I love you, sweet boy and I so appreciate hearing you say to me this morning "Have a good day at work." And I did, it's been an amazing day!Blessings, Mommy

As for Psalm 46, the verse today seems a little harsh, huh? To me it says, when we are at the lowest, the greatest time of need, of help, of deliverance, of rescue.....HE LIFTS HIS VOICE. HE MAKES HIS JUDGEMENT. Not a minute before or a second after, in God's perfect timing. When the waters are raging, when it doesn't make sense, when you are just plain tired, He lifts His voice. But we be able to hear and discern, His voice. The only voice of Truth. And what other truths have we talked about so far..He is our refuge, strength, present help, and now FORTRESS. One of it's meanings is a stronghold...but this is a positive one!"The Lord Almighty is with us." As Romans 8:31 says "What then, shall we say in response to this? if God is for us, who can be against us?"

"Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always" Psalm 105:4

Hope your weekend is grand!

Blessings,

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!
