Forty-Five Verses: Give me SPACE

Day after day, as I prayed very specifically last year, God kept bringing me back to the word "space."  Space was needed in my life. Empty space. Full space. Open Space. Space with others. Space expanded.  Space to just be. Space to dream again. Space to sort out and sort through. Space makes room for new things, experiences not so much material possessions. When I began to step back and give space, I noticed a peace....calmness.  I went to the Lord and prayed way more than "venting" thus rehashing the same scenarios over and over. How freeing. Space gave me inspiration and it gave me energy. I am careful to keep space in my life. There are so many benefits to keeping it sacred.
I used this acronym to help me focus on what was important...

S- Space
P- Provides
A
C- Calming
E- Effect

And this year I am adding a little more to it...decluttered space. (will update on that one, process!) Memorable space. Quality Space. Fearless Space. Orderly Space. Organized Space. Beautiful Space....and plenty of writing space.

After taking down the Christmas decorations, everything looks plain and empty. I am gearing up to put accessories back out and mix in some Valentine's decor. Why not...we all need to celebrate love!! The greatest love we have is from Jesus. Just imagine how much you love your child, your spouse, your friends, etc and to think there is someone who loves you more than that. "For God is love and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him." 1 John 4:16  And that is our verse for today...day 24/45! Thank you for taking this journey with me!

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!
