Get Your House in Order: Expected Snow

"To the end that my glory may sing praise to You
 and not be silent. O Lord my God, 
I will give thanks forever."
Psalm 30:12


First grade, Big snow in Douglasville, Ga

Snow is all the rage around this house tonight...the excitement, the wonder and the ease of knowing there is no school tomorrow! Oh to be a kid again! I have proof from the picture,  first grade, Douglasville, Georgia, (sporting those boots) that I too, had a little fun once upon a snow day! In the south, we it's such a treat because it's not the norm. And yes, we go bizerk with a few inches:) We have food, a fireplace, coffee and hot chocolate, all set!!

 The anticipation of  snow and ice has had it's highs and lows the past two weeks. And even Luke said to me yesterday "I am giving up on it even snowing this year." I got it. He was disappointed. Let down from what he expected. Yet today, he has been updating me quite frequently about "the big snow ." As for me, I am just excited that my car gets to stay in park all day tomorrow. So stay tuned, only tomorrow will tell!

 If you haven't already, read Psalm 30 today. I spent time on the twelve verses as well as all the reference verses....here are a few that stood out to me:

 Psalm 28:9"Save your people, and bless your inheritance; shepherd them also, and bear them up forever.

 Psalm 30:2-3 "O Lord, my God, I cried out to you and you have healed me. O Lord, You brought my soul up  from the grave; You kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit."

 Isaiah 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray;  We have turned, every one to his own way; and The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." 

 Psalm 30:5 "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning."

 Snow or no snow, who knows? God's word  changes your life, know for sure. 
Day#55 Focus on enjoying what is to come
Blessings,
Suzanne

P.S. Luke just came in asking if we had a sled or cookie sheets..haha!

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...
