Hello, I’m Susan.

I’m a wife (of 50 years), mom to five children (including a set of twins), and grandmother to 21 (including a set of quadruplets!). My favorite time of the year is when all my kids and grandkids are together for a week of “cousins and family camp” in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia.

Ten Questions To Ask When You Need to Make a Decision

Most often when we try to pray, we simply feel overwhelmed!

There are so many needs: in our own families, our friends, our community, etc. We hardly know where to start. We might find ourselves simply saying, “God bless so and so.” Our prayer life feels anemic, and we don’t see a lot of answers to general prayers.

Here are two things that will help up on the blog this week! Link in bio

I do not like indecision or ambiguity. Decision-making causes me stress. Especially when there’s no clear path.

Recently I was stressing over a decision that I thought I needed to make quickly. For several days my stomach was in knots. Fortunately, it was not a decision between right and wrong. It was merely a tough call. I couldn’t decide what to do.

I sought the counsel of some wise friends, which helped. And then I remembered something my husband had written, “10 Questions to Consider When Trying to Discern God’s Will.” I thought I’d share them with you and then I’ll tell you which one helped me and why!

Are you a reader? I love a good book, especially in the summer when maybe you’ll have a little extra time. I read a bit of everything — fiction, nonfiction, theology, history, historical fiction, devotionals.

Here are 9 of my favorite recent reads, along with a few friends and favorite authors, that will help you find what you want to read next. (Plus one online course!)

Find the blog at:

I hope this helps you find just the right book for this summer!

My friend @writerlorismith launched her new course

My friend @writerlorismith launched her new course today and I'm excited to share it with you!! It's fantastic!

If you don't know Lori, she's a faithful woman of God who's lived with chronic Lyme disease for 20+ years. She's taken all of her experiences walking through darkness and poured them into this course.

If you're in a dark place, this will be a blessing to you!

COMFORT FOR DARK DAYS is a 7-day devotional video series centered around the key truths that have been Lori's lifeline in the midst of 20 years of chronic illness. Holy comfort, wholly comforting.

Link in Lori's bio @writerlorismith. Go check it out!

I’m so excited to share with you about a new book by @jodie_berndt Praying the Scriptures for Your Life!

I HIGHLY recommend (along with my daughter and granddaughter! 😊) it and the link to order your copy is in my bio!

Amy Crouch’s book is a compelling read for young

Amy Crouch’s book is a compelling read for young and old readers alike.

Younger friends will appreciate Amy’s candor, wisdom and vulnerability; older readers will discover an insightful window into the challenges of living in a wired world.

Andy’s letters to Amy are a delightful bonus, and a loving testimony to the benefits of talking early and often about the role of technology in our daily lives.

You can hear them discuss the book and this topic next Friday with @trinityforum
