Get Your House in Order: Piddling


 "But seek first the kingdom of God  and his righteousness,
 and all these things will be added to you."
Matthew 6:33
This is how Boston looks at me when I am writing!
I can't tell you how many times I have called my Mom, over the years and asked her what she was doing and she says "oh, just piddling." Meaning just kinda, doing things here and there, feeling like you are getting the things done that YOU want to do. Not much that anyone else would even notice. That's what I consider piddling and that is what I have been doing for last few hours! Amazing the kind of energy you have when you take a thirty minute nap and then go for a run! I was thrilled to have Luke go run/walk with me tonight, made it go by so much faster and we talked the whole way...smile.

 I will be glad to hear Mom say she is "piddling" again soon and she will. She has several doctor appointments this week and we will find out (hopefully) on Friday, when her surgery will be. I know she is ready to get that behind her. It's hard to believe it's already been a month since all that happened. Each time someone asks for an update and I say "you would never know that anything was even wrong with her lungs now", I am reminded of God's Sovereignty and His Healing. It brings to memory the story about Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego who were thrown in the fiery furnace and came out..... not smelling like smoke, or being burned at all (See Daniel 1-3).

There are so many on my prayer list, going through really hard times right now. I pray most of all that we all keep their eyes on Jesus ). He is the author and the finisher of our faith. He is the I am. The Great Comforter. The Healer and Great Physician. The Provider. I always go back to the verse Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God  and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." when praying for all the needs. He has to be first.

In my piddling, I tackled a few more cabinets and drawers! I am on a mission this spring (almost).

Day#70 Take a nap once in a while

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 ...

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...

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

Image
"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!
