Life You Have Imagined

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up  their crosses daily and follow me."
Luke 9:23


Live the life you have imagined. 

Such profound words. If only it were that easy, huh? At some point I think many of us forgot what we imagined. Part of that is good, for the sake of changing our view of life to more of what Christ's plan is than our own. The other is to LIVE it with Him, and by doing that, we cannot even imagine what lies before us. For me it is about remembering that life is not all about me and my agenda, it's about the cross. I struggle with my flesh like the next person, but pray daily to die to self, take up my cross and follow Him. (Luke 9:23)  In that,  I

Live the life I have imagined.

Have Jesus as my best friend.

Treasure family and friend time.

Find Joy in the little things.

Love the word of God more than anything, it is life. 

Enjoy the sunrise and sunsets of the day.

Laugh at myself. Often.

Praise and pray through circumstances.

Cook dinner most nights.

Make up my own style and fashion..haha!

Nickel, dime or splurge items all bring me the same joy!

Working in a job that I mainly just talk all day:)

Journaling my way through life.

Fixing up another house. (and praying lots).

Letting Go.

Living. Thank you, Jesus, I am living.

Take some time and list out a few things that make up your life. Gratitude is what nourishes our soul. It is well. With my soul. It is well. Life is about the cross. He died so we could live! I pray you live:)

Happy February!
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

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!

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my
