Get Your House in Order: Progress in Guest Room

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Guest Room Painted 2015

Okay, finally...a room is this house has fresh paint! I really cannot believe we have been in this house almost four months and I have not broken out a paint brush yet. It's time to get bedrooms in order! I chose the color "Summer Gray" maybe because I liked that my maiden name was in it or that it looks light and bright?? The trim will have to be done after work tomorrow, Abby and I took a detour today and worked on cleaning her room. Little by little this week, I have found myself ready to begin the work:)

 And don't forget about the ceilings that are smooth as can be, no more popcorn. 
Guest Room Before 2015
It was so nice to have the windows open while I painted, a little chilly but nothing a mug of hot chocolate can't fix. To say that I enjoy painting would be pushing it, but to say that I enjoy seeing the progress...couldn't make me happier. Feels much more clean and fresh. Can't wait to get the furniture set up! Thinking navy and a few red accents that will coordinate with Jack n Jill bathroom.

The door will be open soon...smile!

As we go into the week of Thanksgiving my heart and mind 
are turned toward the Lord......

Thankful for  progress, in and through Him.
Thankful for new beginnings, in and through Him.
Thankful for the time of stillness, in and through Him.
Thankful for the renewed strength, in and through Him.
Thankful for the doors that have opened, in and through Him.
Thankful to be able to love, live and laugh, in and through Him.

Thankful.

Day#331 Progress not Perfection

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...
