Forty-Five Verses:As The Wind Blows


My children gave me this wind chime many years ago for Mother's Day. I was looking at it today as I watered my plants on the deck. For the first time in a quite a while I zeroed in on the words "I AM." Right there in the center, surrounded by.. Lord of Lords..Savior..Alpha and Omega...the Way...Jesus and the top and Jesus at the bottom. The great I AM. "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM; and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." Exodus 3:14 Those were the words the Lord specifically told Moses to say to the children of Israel. He is the "I AM" of what they are in need of, what they are praying for and about, who they are looking for, how their situation will turn around." HE IS the I AM. Let that sink in. He is the sound of the wind blowing but not to blow you over, to strengthen you in the storm. He is the response to the wind when the world around you is reacting in fear and omission. He is the very wind you need to cool you down when the fire seems too hot and too close. He is the strong wind that blows through and cleans out all the dust from the past and gives you enough air to put your wings to flight. He is the I AM. "Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father,but by me." John 14:6
"I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

I pray that today you see Him, hear Him, know His presence like never before..whatever your need, Jesus says "I AM." As I hear these chimes and see their slight movement, He has put a new song in my heart...He is always at the center of it all. Focus on Him, not the wind. He is my Rock, my strong and steady..Glory to you..the Great I AM!

Day 118 Today's Verse...
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us."  1 John 4:16

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!
