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...

The dance of grief and joy — My dad went home to Jesus

The dance of grief and joy — My dad went home to Jesus

My daddy went home to the arms of Jesus just a few short days before Christmas. My family was given the greatest gift of time with him individually to speak the words they needed him to hear and to listen to the words he wanted to tell. It was a gift we are beyond grateful for because we know not everyone has that time ... read more

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

How do you live fearlessly while in-between

October is over and we have found ourselves in another Autumn, a new school year, and even deeper into this bizarre year of 2020. My year has been extra strange and is finally feeling a little more normal almost 10 months in. I figured some things out health wise and have been doing much better, thank God for that! ... 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.

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!
