Get Your House in Order: 6 Years Today God made me CANCER-FREE

" Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Hebrew 13:8

Celebrating six-years cancer-free...

2009 After Climbing to the top of the Mountain in Alaska



2015 On the Calm Shore of Edisto Beach, South Carolina

The very same God who was with me in January 26, 2009 is the same God with me today as I am without words to express my love for HIM. I raise my hands to the heavens and as I look at the picture, I am reminded of how very close the Father is to me every day, in sickness and in health. Mountains, Oceans and Valleys. Carpools, church services and cleaning house. He is with me. He is with you. The same God, forever.

This sixth year I don't come from a wounded place but one of great wonder and excitement of all that is ahead!!! I knew from this very day, six years ago, that this was way beyond me and that if my healing was to be on this earth, HE would be able to use this for His Glory. It was a win-win situation for me.

 To LIVE here for HIM or
To LIVE in heaven with HIM.

I had breast cancer in 2009, and yet what I got along side of that in 2009 was THE most intimate time with Jesus, sitting at his feet, I have ever experienced! I stand true to my vow to Him. I will not take it lightly. He died for me. He died for you. Whatever you are going through, He is right there with you. Sit at his feet. Honestly, cancer was hard, but there have been some other very difficult battles fought during this time that I couldn't have faced, had I not been at His feet. I celebrate those victories today. Glory to you, Father. You are making me new. You are making us all new. Transforming us to be like you. Hallelujah!

On my beach trip this weekend, I told Shannon that I had never stayed in a house that close to the beach. As I sat there, watching the sunrise over the ocean, through the window, I thought about the parallel. I had never been as close to Jesus as I was when I was sick (just like I described in the paragraph above). And now I am well, and I am feeling just as close. Just in a different way. Everything is a season, remember?

We all have the same opportunity to be in His presence. God has not gone anywhere. Where are you? Go to Him. Right now. How about we start reading a Psalm a day? Would you join me today doing that? I would love to pray for you! Email me any requests. 

I hope you have a fantastic Monday..I leave you with this thought..

LIFE IS TRULY A BLESSING, HOW CAN I SHARE MINE TO BRING GLORY TO GOD?

Day#26 Discipline yourself to give God the Glory for everything!

Blessings, 
Suzanne

P.S. Read Psalm 1 today

“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!
