Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with prayer and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. In my youth, my pursuit was faith, family and pursuing my education. As a young bride, my pursuit was faith, family, marriage, and motherhood. Rebuilding my life became a fearless pursuit: Pursuing God’s wisdom, courage and going back to school. In middle age, I was not only a classroom teacher, but ministered to many, as God ordered At 68, my fearless pursuit is faith, family, and this amazing journey through which he has…

Isaiah 6:2 For Zion’s sake, I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem’s sake, I will not be quiet. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand. WELL….HERE I AM…I WRITE AS HE INSPIRES. It’s not about me. The old Sue couldn’t have done this in a million years. Ten years ago, if you told me I’d be doing this, I’d tell you that your elevator didn’t go to the top…

For god so loved the world…John 3:16 We hear this verse a lot but it is usually in regard to the gift of Christ, which is awesome, but it is also awesome to remember God  gave because he loves us so much!! Dear Lord , remind us daily how much you love us. Let me share that love with those I meet, work with, and live with. Amen Sandra Sanders, boundless trust…

    PS.91:11-12 For He will give His angels charge over you, to accompany, defend, and preserve you in all your ways. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.   LOLOL! I can be a real klutz at times. I’ve slipped off the ladder a few times while painting. I’ve tripped over painting paraphernalia on occasion. So it was no surprise, that a month ago, I said the following prayer as I finished painting the bedroom: Lord, surround me with your Guardian Angels today. Please keep…

  Saint Mother Teresa: She is a role model for all who proclaim to be a Christian. Each of us has said at one point in our lives, “I could never make a difference…..not that big! “ Well friends, she didn’t do big things. She began by bringing in the homeless and the dying in India.  It grew from there. We all have done many little things. I saw my husband become Jesus this morning. It was only for one minute, if that. We were at the doc for his hearing aids this morning. A sweet little Afro-American…

  2 Cor.10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sits itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. I had a worry/what if syndrome since I was a child. Finally one day, God and I said, ”Enough is Enough!” I was bound and determined that I would do anything and everything to change my Stinkn Thinkn (Joyce Meyer). One thing I learned BIG TIME! Meds and therapy helped a great deal. However, just like a sleazy viper, worry occasionally reared its ugly head. It struck…

God is awesome and amazing. Finally, we are having spring weather and it is so beautiful! Flowers blooming, trees budding, the sights and sounds of birds and animals is so refreshing AND THEN, TODAY….SNOW!!!! God does have a sense of humor and I realize that quite clearly as I peek out my window on this day. The wind is blowing, the snowflakes, although small, are flying, and I am bundled up in jeans and a jacket because I am freezing. All of this after having the windows open last Friday and wearing capris because I was so warm…

As previously revealed, My Granny and mother both had “The Gift of God’s Wisdom.” Oh, you bet they were human, and had their faults; however, they were wise in the spirit. For years, as I rebuilt my life, I prayed for the Gift of Wisdom. The summer of 2000, I began boldly to digest Psalms and Proverbs. I’d sit on my big country porch and read, study, write, and respond. A rather comical incident occurred, once I began my inhalation of The Word. In my dreams, I kept hearing and seeing the words, ”tree of life.” This same…

October 6,2000. My cousin Diana’s son Jeffrey was at the farm for the weekend. I knew in my spirit, the following: · As I took him home to Cincinnati, I was supposed to meet her at All Saints Catholic Church for 4:00pm mass. This church was my home parish in my youth. I attended All Saints Elementary, and was married there also. · I knew that I was called there for a reason. · I responded to the call as I knelt there prior to mass. “Lord, whatever it is that you want me to do, annoint me to fulfill…

Sometimes, life is busy and hectic and I  feel as if I am getting nowhere! And I have moments I holler out to ask God why, who, What, where. I am in the process of ‘remaking’ myself. I have a new job which means a new skill must be learned, new co-workers must be experienced and I love working with people but sometimes,  sometimes, it is just too much!! Then, I cry out, “God , are you there? Is this really what you want me to do? Isn’t there some other way?” Sounds familiar…
