Get Your House in Order: Laundry Space Before

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 28:19

Laundry space Before
 Just what you were wanting to see, right?...the laundry "space"!!! I wouldn't quite call it a room, a  closet maybe but not a room. I spend minimal time as possible here anyway. And in all it's glory, it typically looks like it's pictured!

We have not quite figured out how to position the washer and dryer either, so they "dance" aka are very loud when running..haha! I like that it is located in the hall and is easily accessible to two kiddos that are soon to trying out these dancing wonders:) Talking big, I know, but we are moving toward them doing their laundry. Abby has started ironing a little, that's a start! And besides, laundry and ironing are not my strengths. It's my least favorite chore, but one that is not going anywhere anytime soon!

Maybe if we spruce up the space a bit, add a little more function (shelves, small hanging rack) than what you see here (umm, nothing), I can ....forget it. Moving on. I am thankful for space and will put on my best attitude while I load, fluff and fold................

Laundry Space Doors Before
And see how easy it is to close it off? Wouldn't a sliding barn door/or doors be neat here?Stay Tuned!

Wanted to share this....Today I saw a license plate that said "HESABLE3".  The car zipped by me just as I was praying about something that had been tearing at me for two weeks now.  For some reason, all day yesterday, the Lord had given me the verse "He binds up the brokenhearted and heals their wounds." Psalm 147:3 and I said it over and over until I memorized it.

Just like doing laundry, I do not like hearing the words "brokenhearted." None of us do. I do, however, rest in the fact that He heals our wounds. Wounds hurt, they scar, they even become infected if not dealt with in time or properly. To bind means "to fasten or secure with a band or bond." So I pictured the Lord fastening together broken hearts and mending them back together, restoring them to a more healthy life. Healed. That is just my illustration.

Whether it be grief, broken relationships, spiritual complacency, addictions, betrayal, loss, health issues... anything that causes you to be brokenhearted...."He binds up the brokenhearted and heals their wounds." Psalm 147:3 I believe there is restoration in this promise. You know why? "HESABLE3" .
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
Ephesians 3:20


I hope you have a great night...I have more laundry to finish and fold;)

Day#256 Same power

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...
