About

I’m a homemaker, teacher, writer, and frequent contributor to Wholly Loved Ministries’ projects. I live in Nebraska but  was born and raised in Oklahoma.  My greatest love is for the Lord Jesus Christ who has redeemed me and set me free. I have a wonderful husband, son, and daughter-in-law who are my treasures.  I like to read, watch movies, be with my family, and write. I have a heart for prayer ministry and attend Reality Church! In the past, I have struggled with painful shyness to the point that I missed out on much in my youth because I avoided people by escaping into my fantasy world. I experienced having my fiancé change his mind three weeks before our wedding when I was 20 years old. As someone whose goal in life was to be married and have children, that was a blow. But it led me to surrender more to God’s will and to realize that marriage should not be my goal in life but to follow God and to do His will. As it turned out, I got married at the age of 29 and became a mom at the age of 39 (by a miracle-check out the tab “my miracle”) God is my constant and faithful friend, Savior and Lord. Life’s a journey and we’re all in different places. It’s all about grace. I want to walk in the light with Him. I make mistakes every day. I falter and fail but He always catches me. He always forgives me and He never leaves me. His Holy Word is the foundation and guide for my life.

    Susan, what a joyful surprise to find you! God is so good to bring you back to me after so many years. I was so thrilled to see you wrote a daily devotional. I always knew you would do that some day. Thank you for sharing the beautiful gift God has given you. Love and JOY to you! Nancy(Hladky) Johnson.

    Just read an article you wrote “When Disappointment and Rejection Attack” then prayed the prayer you wrote at the end. Felt like this article was written about my life, feeling rejected when I should change my focus onto God and letting Him supply all my needs! 😉 It just encouraged me so much.. Thank you and God bless you and your family

      J, You don’t know how much it blesses me that you were encouraged! Knowing that motivates me to keep doing what I do. God is so gracious! Thank you for reading and thank you so much for letting me know. So often I never know the results of my writing but I know God uses it as He wills. God bless you and your family also!

    • David, Thank you for reading and for your kind words. Thank you for your invitation but I don’t have a business so that wouldn’t be for me at this time. I write articles for Wholly Loved Ministries strictly as a volunteer. God bless you! Susan
