Get Your House in Order: Perspective from Cancer

"For in Him we live and move and have our being."
Acts 17:28

Cancer Survey Questionaire 2015..Remission
Sometime back, I signed up for a website that connects people currently diagnosed with cancer to boards where they can ask questions as they go through the process. I have not been on there as much as I would like to, but I check in from time to time. They recently sent me a survey questionaire to see if I qualified for a study. I had some extra time (and lots of coffee) this Labor Day morning so I pulled it up ...the first question got me! And then I saw the last option...

My cancer is now in remission

And I praise the Lord as much today as I did the first time I heard it! I pray that I am more alive in Him than anything and that no matter how many years down the road I get, I never stop thanking Him for this life on earth. And I look forward to eternal life with Him forever! For now, I will continue to be a voice for those in the fight...to keep going (you can do this), praying to the Father and to encourage friends and family to keep the memories alive of those who have gone before me...Cancer does not win..Jesus does. 

I must say this was not my original Labor Day post, as it goes...I have had a full, productive, LABORING weekend on this house! And this little reminder right here, makes me so grateful for each step taken, each task accomplished and even each mess that got cleaned up. Yes, I am tired but wow, we got some stuff done. At a slower pace. I enjoyed my long mornings Saturday and today with nowhere to be and just took time to do more unpacking, cooking, watching a little football, some family time with both parents and walking on the new neighborhood route...smile! I'd say it's been a good one!!!!

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend! Happy Labor Day!

Day#254 Reminders bring perspective
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

"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!
