How to hold on to the hope that is rightfully yours

How to hold on to the hope that is rightfully yours

How to live fearless when your normal is gone

How to live fearless when your normal is gone

I've probably written this post about one-hundred times—between in my head and on the computer screen–because I haven't been able to say what I want to say exactly how I want to say it.

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.
