Forty-Five Verses: Little White Churches

We passed this little white church on our way back from the beach in March. We stumbled upon it, as we took back roads, looking for a way out of the spring break traffic on the interstate. You can't really tell from the picture but it was nestled in a wooded area, just around a curve. I was driving and said to Jeff "please get a picture for the blog!" I absolutely love little white churches. Simple yet beautiful structures with a steeple...Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.  It was a highlight among the loooong way home, from a great trip. You know how that last day of vacay ...when you are just ready to get home and it seems you will never get there? Well, add a few hours to that and there you have spring break back from the beach.

Life can be like this at times. You have prayed, the trials get harder, you keep praying, there's some progress, pray more, breakthrough, more prayer and then all of sudden God places a treasure right there in your path. It almost doesn't seem real. It was such a long journey and it was off the beaten path but right in the middle of nowhere you realize....God answered my prayer. There is the treasure. Savor it. Be in the present moment and believe it. God answers prayer. Always on time, His time. Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. Simple and beautiful. Thank you, Lord Jesus, you are to be praised!

Day 116 Today's Verse...
""May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

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!
