Get Your House in Order: Meet Harley

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for inquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him and by his wounds we healed."
Isaiah 53:5

Harley..the rescue

This is Harley, our not so socialize little gem who was rescued and kept for two years before we adopted him. Or should I say Abby adopted him (with her own money). He is sweet as pie to all of us, but don't you dare enter the Moore household without letting us put him up! He is very protective. We don't really know that much about his story. Was someone cruel to him? Is he  just naturally this anxious around strangers? We will never know. Abby just knew he was supposed to be ours and we have loved him ever since we brought him home. That face gets me every time though.....

This got me thinking about our stories. We all have one, two, five, ten that make our very being. I am so thankful for the people all throughout my life, through different stories, that have just loved me where I was or where I was going. Stories change. Life changes. Yet certain words and actions of those who were a part of that time come to remembrance. They comfort. They heal. And they give strength. I did not write my story, though times I though I was, but the One who did knows my story now and those to come. "For you, Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will triumph in the works of your hands." Psalm 92:4  Just like Harley, I am a rescue. Thank you Jesus, for rescuing me.

Day#144 Jesus is my rescue
Blessings,
Suzanne

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...
