Waver Not

Yes It's my Birthday!!!!
"Let us hold fast this confession of our hope without wavering for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23

I dedicate this very late birthday post to my sweet Luke Jeffrey, who turned nine years old on May 19th! You are such a light in my life, Luke, and it was a privelege to get to plan and even attend your birthday blast, allowing me special priveleges to be at a "Boys only" event and all! I know, I insisted...ha..but  you did need another driver, right?? We had so much fun! The playroom looked great with the orange and blue balloons, even Daddy helped hang them and you know he likes crimson and white! This year the theme was Hot wheel cars and the decorations on the wall and table turned out really cool, didn't they? We do love streamers in this house! This was your first sleepover and you did such a great job setting up your magic show for your friends as the night time entertainment, followed by playing skylanders, hide and go seek until really late and just lots of loudness and running like you boys do! I enjoyed making my first cookie cake ever, only for you, baking is not usually one of my talents! And I have to say one of my favorite parts of the day was driving you and your friends to the skating rink. Well, let me rephrase that, the funniest parts of the day. That was alot to hear for this girly girl, even if she is your Mom...big smile!Boys can say yucky stuff and be gross but I laughed the whole way!Then for the big skating rink P-A-R-T-Y...you, Joey, Josh, Alex, Henry, Emory, and Thomas rocked it and Nick was on the sidelines (at the games;). We just had one mishap, poor Thomas fell and broke his elbow, how brave was he though? Sorry for that memory, Thomas. He is completely healed now because you went to his party yesterday!Anyway, ya'll skated several hours to some groovin' music and then we went and got pizza for dinner!!

I am so proud of the gentleman that you are, Luke. You are such a good friend to so many people and you always think of others. It is my prayer that you waver not for the hope you have, for we know that our God is faithful, don't we? He is always there for us, guiding us and teaching us His ways, which most of the time is not like the world's way. Even though I am about a month late writing this letter to you, I want you to know that you are in my heart, in my prayers many parts of my day. This morning, as I sat out on the patio and you showed me your newest trick...catching nineteen pennies from your elbow...uh huh..cool...I was thanking our God for you, little light of mine! Happy ninth year...may it be the best one yet...God has a grand plan for you life!

"Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God." Mark 10:14
Blessings,
Mom

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

Image
“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 ...

8 Years Cancer Free: Living Life Intentionally and Boldly

Image
"People need more than bread for their life;  they must feed on every word of God." Matthew 4:4 8 Years CANCER FREE  Cancer is brutal but CHRIST IS BOUNDLESS!  I remember this 26th day of January every year as a marker in my life! An encounter with the Lord, face to face and truly beginning to live a life surrendered to His plan, not mine. For the past year I have revisited some of the same quietness I experienced while going through the cancer process. Sitting at His feet. Leaning in closer. Close enough to hear Him whisper the next step. Sitting still, unable to move beyond the written word on the page speaking to me right where I was. And I needed the time with Him. I needed less time with other things. I wanted to make my home with Him. "Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." John 14:23 Through it all, there has been so much freedom in l...

Within

"God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day." Psalm 46:5 Good morning! It has been a few days, yet I am still in Psalm 46, still on a twenty-one day journey. I laugh at how literal I really am. This is day eleven and I am so wanting to look and see how many posts I have written, I felt sure I would write one a day! My eyes landed on this verse yesterday "If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm." Psalm 37:23 and was light a bolt of lightning! You see, I am learning, that when you walk by faith and not by sight, things just, quite frankly, don't make sense. Hmmm, great revelation at 5:15 am huh? So simple, but Lord, thank you for the reminder. Why do I get so caught up in the details that I miss the point, and maybe miss the lesson. HE is WITHIN me (and you) and I will not fall! I will stumble, will make mistakes, but when I am fully surrendered (over and over) to Him, my steps have to be firm. Because He doe...
