Get Your House in Order: One More Room

"He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; 
He also will hear their cry and save them." 
Psalm 145:19

We have lived in our house for thirteen years. Over the past few  years, we have changed the color schemes to a much lighter pallet, updated the kitchen, converted the dining room to my office, did a bathroom renovation and both kids have had room redo! So, I guess you could say I have been trying this "Get your house in order" deal for a while..haha! There is just one room left that is in need of an update..the playroom. It is supposed to be a formal living room, but we have always used it as a playroom. And it really has never had a style. 

I am posting this with the hopes that I can make this a goal and have it finished in the next month or so! Oh,but do I dare take a picture and expose? It's a hot mess in there, mix match at it's best!! I find myself thinking up all these ideas and just never getting to them.  Thus, the pieces in there don't go together at ALL!And let me tell you a little secret I had to boldly make myself realize "I am not the DIY person I thought  I was"! Great ideas, little follow through. But I do love a good magazine to search for ideas to copy and decorating blogs have become a way I can lose myself if I am not careful.  So, the playroom it is. My winter room project! I will keep you posted on the progress. 
Playroom is behind the curtain from my office.and I must start using my good camera:)
Just as my home has been updated and renovated so has my heart(talk about mix match!).  Every room in our heart has a purpose. And the Lord has access to them all. And yes, we have to expose them in order to heal them. We are his project, not the other way around. He has a plan for our lives, our hearts. Our part is seek Him, His Face, His Presence. Not just His hand. The beauty is in His presence. "He said "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord." John 1:23

What about you? Do you have a room that you are thinking about updating? I would love to hear from you!

Day#10 Discipline yourself to do one project this season

Blessings,
Suzanne

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!
