Get Your House in Order:Luke's Room

"Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving."
Colossians 4:2


Luke's room is tucked in the middle of our room and Abby's room and has two big closets! He was ready for a change from a bunk bed to a full size bed and a more middle school look.
Green like the astro turf on a football field, is the color of choice for his room! I had picked out the khaki and blue striped duvet from Pottery Barn and orange made the perfect accent color. He's the only Auburn fan in the house and sticking to it! I got the  pillow shams and orange pillow  at Ikea (love) and the big fish pillow came from Nonna a few years ago! We are still needing a headboard in here! The nightstand is a yard sale find that I painted and added new pulls. 


One of Luke's favorite sayings is "Good times, Good times" so I hung the sign in his room:) Along with some license plates from Papa's collection, a Vestavia Rebels and a Bo Jackson quote plates..it makes that space above the closets more interesting !



This is his desk/study area.. the bulletin board says "Just be You"...


And this is his old bunkbed. And blue bunny on top that he one at the Easter Egg hunt many moons ago (still in attic, haha). He had a nautical theme in his room with blue and red for years. He still loves to fish for sure. I can say how much I loved that bed but I sure am glad I don't bump my head on it anymore, it was a little low.  So glad another little friend is enjoying it now!


We also did some decluttering in Luke's room when we rearranged. And moved the bookshelf to the playroom. Those plaid panels were in his nursery, adored them. 
 This was his desk area then. Though there was no homework in those days. Wow has middle school piled it on this year. His desk has been occupied!

I couldn't resist putting this in..one of his birthdays I wrapped his gifts and had them on his bed!

I will never forget when he was born and we had a twin bed in his nursery. After two months, Jeff asked if I was ever coming back to our room. He was such a peaceful baby. And at most times (haha) now he still brings that same peace to me. His childlike faith in God blows me away. I have spent plenty of nights in this room, many days, mornings and afternoons as well, with the most thoughtful fellow I know. I love how much he loves his room, flag football and basketball! But I love more the times he tells me what he is praying about or what God has shown him lately. And then he moves on about to the next thing. 
What a blessing you are, Luke!

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!
