I'm Susan...

We all have a story to share. Mine just happens to be another story of the grace and kindness of Jesus. If you were to ask me to tell you who I am, I would say: I am a wife, a mama to three wonderful boys, an ice-cream addict, a lover of words and their meanings, a storyteller, truth seeker, over-thinker, a lover of people and their stories, and a recovering worrier, to name a few things...

Holding a little of the Holy (an offer for my readers)

Holding a little of the Holy (an offer for my readers)

I've never stepped foot in Bethlehem. My fingers have never brushed across the gnarled bark of the ancient olive trees while wandering towards Nazareth. I have yet to stand in the places that cradled the feet of our savior or inhale the air that filled His lungs. Although I long to go, my journey has not yet led me to the ... read more

Living unafraid in an unsafe world

Living unafraid in an unsafe world

The other day I stopped to grab a coffee where the barista and I chatted about our strange, not-so-normal world we now live in.  "It has to eventually get better, right? I mean things have to be safe enough to return to normal at some point?" She lamented as she handed me my coffee. Amen sister. But if I'm being ... read more

How to hold on to the hope that is rightfully yours

How to hold on to the hope that is rightfully yours

Hope has been a rather elusive creature lately. As soon as I think I have it in my grasp, it wriggles around and slides right through the grip of my fingers. And then somewhere during the day, it turns up hidden in a corner where I try to snatch it up, only to find it has vanished yet again. Hope can be a funny, fickle ... read more

Mid-Week Musing: A few of my favorites from around the web

I haven't done a mid-week musing in quite some time. I've been holding open windows on my iPhone for months with all of these amazing posts and ideas that I'd love to share. Well, it's time to share those and a few more of my favorites from around the web lately. I've been consumed with my health and thinking about all ... read more

Embracing the rainy season for your soul

Embracing the rainy season for your soul

The sun never came out today. It came up, just not out. Well, at least it didn't appear to. It poured heavy, sullen raindrops all day long and it broke my 11-year-old's heart. We've been blessed the last few weeks with some gorgeous sunshine here in the PNW, until these past few days. Today the rain fell mercilessly upon ... read more

Meet Susan

I’m a wife, to Don, who happens to be my best friend. I’m also a mama to three wonderful, fun and dashing boys, who are ages 17, 14 and 10. I love words and writing and I love encouraging others to follow after Jesus and to trust Him with their life.
Feel free to stay awhile and take a peek around my site!
