Get Your House in Order: Daisy

"But I have trusted in your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in your salvation."
Psalm 13:5

Miss Daisy

Meet our bunny, Daisy. I decided to let her have some "run around" time before the dogs got up on Thursday morning, the snow day. If you think our house sounds like a zoo, it is. Literally. With the cold weather, Daisy has been in the den and she greets me every morning by pounding on the cage until I bring her some carrots (I fall for it every time)! She has not always had the best manners, is quite difficult and she is just not warm and fuzzy in her personality:)

Abby begged for her five or so years ago and I finally gave in, after I had finished my last cancer surgery. So, she is part of the family, but she is a loner..haha! Anyway, I got her out this morning as well and put her in the chair with me while I read and drank way too much coffee. She seemed very content and slightly cuddly. Made me miss my yorkie, Katie. Sniff, sniff.

I laughed so hard one day when Abby said " I think Daisy wants to be sweet!" Maybe I needed a little lap bunny today. And I am gonna go a little further and say you can teach an old bunny new tricks!
I am so ready for spring! I am thinking I will get my easter bunnies out tomorrow...I have a cute one already who posed on the couch for me! She is back outside in her hutch tonight, happy as can be, I may let her join me for bible study again in the morning:)

So many times our needs are met by unlikely sources. Through difficult situations or difficult people we learn to love like Jesus. We learn to stretch our faith and set our boundaries. We learn to open up our hearts to a different view. And we trust the Lord with every fiber within our being. In and through Him we see that what once felt so difficult fades into hopeful surrender and loving sacrifice. For His Glory.

Day#67 Trust and Obey

8 Years Cancer Free: Living Life Intentionally and Boldly

"People need more than bread for their life;  they must feed on every word of God." Matthew 4:4 8 Years CANCER FREE  Cancer is brutal but CHRIST IS BOUNDLESS!  I remember this 26th day of January every year as a marker in my life! An encounter with the Lord, face to face and truly beginning to live a life surrendered to His plan, not mine. For the past year I have revisited some of the same quietness I experienced while going through the cancer process. Sitting at His feet. Leaning in closer. Close enough to hear Him whisper the next step. Sitting still, unable to move beyond the written word on the page speaking to me right where I was. And I needed the time with Him. I needed less time with other things. I wanted to make my home with Him. "Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." John 14:23 Through it all, there has been so much freedom in l...

Gather Together

"I have loved you with an everlasting love;  there I have continued my faithfulness to you." Jeremiah 31:3 Dining Room After 2017 (pink balloon remnant from party) Hey there, friend! Here's a little glimpse of the  "before and after" happenings in our dining room. It is still a work in progress but I am enjoying the transformation so far! All new trim, hard wood floors and paint color (Revere Pewter, Sherman Williams) were added during the renovation ...I added some chalk paint and mercury glass knobs to the buffet:) This is the first room you see when you walk in the house so I want it to be welcoming and bright! Dining Room Before 2015 This room was used by previous owners as the living room but I chose it for the dining room because it is a bigger space and I pray that there will be lots of "gatherings" in this area. That was one of my hopes when we moved that I would have a big enough space to host not only dinners, but to have bib...

“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 ...
