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. Instead, 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 ... read more

The fear of death and how to defeat it

The fear of death and how to defeat it

The visitor arrived on the third Friday in September of my fifth-grade year. It slithered its way in unannounced, descending upon our home and bringing with it a canopy of sorrow.

Where is your God now?

Where is your God now?

Why? Those 3 little letters, made into one tiny word with infinite answers. And often no answer at all. We have a love/hate relationship—that word and I—it can illuminate wonderful discoveries or leave the questioner with hopeless frustration. I have uttered this one-syllable word far more than I care to ... read more

Do you need somewhere safe to run?

Do you need somewhere safe to run?

I've been thinking about where I live an abnormal amount lately. We're selling our house and preparing to move, so every thought of mine is consumed with this. I love the comfort and consistency of home and if I'm being honest, I dislike hate change. And moving means change. And change isn't fun for me. Even good ... 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!
