Learning how to talk to God

Learning how to talk to God

Listening has never been my strong suit. On the contrary, talking is second nature to me, as evidenced by a letter my mom wrote to my grandmother when I was about 4.

  "What if God isn't real?" He asked, almost in a whisper, as if the question would offend me. Pausing a moment to consider, I reached for another fry and decided the best reply was the truth.

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!
