Get Your House in Order: What First

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Psalm 51:10

Luke's/Guest Bathroom Before

Where do we start? I am thinking about beginning in here..Luke's/guest bathroom. Luke loves the shower door and is elated over the soap dispenser. Really he is. He could care less what the walls look like or if it's outdated, I am digging his simplicity. On the other hand, it is the only bath on the main floor so I gotta, just gotta, get it shaped up! It's nice to have a starting point, to know "what first" (there's plenty to choose from at this point but we mainly are loving getting settled in). So stay tuned.

As with my walk with the Lord. When my life seems to be in need of some renovation and change, maybe some updating and cleaning up (in several areas), I don't know where to start. Do you ever feel like that? I am always amazed when I, once again, surrender all,the plan begins to unfold. His plan unfolds. Just like this bathroom, I can attest to being stripped down to my own bare walls. Then I am fully ready to be made new. It's time for  a new chapter and keeping First things first. Thank you Jesus that you are First! Amen.

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!
