I love to read and re-read stories in both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. It is in those timeless stories that I learn immeasurable things about God – His unconditional love for us, His mercy and grace in our lives, His forgiveness, and how to be Jesus to others. I don’t know […]
A toothache, a root canal, and a dental visit I’ll never forget
(This month we bring back one of Susan’s most popular blogs. Definitely worth repeating!) It isn’t actually the tooth that hurts, it’s the gum above the tooth, I told myself. I put up with the discomfort for a week, but when a week came and went, my better judgment said go to the dentist. I called […]
The View From My Bike
Experiencing a Zacchaeus moment. You would love my cute pink bike with my pink pom-poms hanging over the handle bars and big gerbera daisies in different shades of pink clipped on the front of my bicycle basket. Oh, and I also have a honking pink horn on the basket! If I add too many more […]

I know, I’ve done my fair share of waiting over the years. I’ve waited on life or death situations, for physical and emotional healing, for […]
Just married, Just moved, Just found out the cancer has returned…
A few weeks ago a beautiful young woman in her twenties, with an infectious smile, and a lovely British accent showed up at the door of our After the Boxes are Unpacked class. I welcomed her with open arms, introduced her to the other women in class, and asked her the usual questions–where are you […]
Yes I can!
If you’re like me, and have experienced a life-changing loss, the holiday season could look and feel different to you. You might somehow want to escape all the memories, traditions, and decorations. It’s just too hard, and you’re just too numb to face the pain of what will never be the same again. As many […]
The Hidden Box You May Not Have Unpacked
A friend stopped by our Just Moved office for a visit and during our conversation she said, “I know why I’ve never settled in and feel so disconnected since I moved here. It’s taken me a long time, but I’ve finally figured it out. I’ve never completely unpacked and gotten rid of all the boxes […]
