SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Susan Ely, thank you for sharing your amazing testimony with CWC today. God is using you in more ways than you’ll ever know. Totally Awesome!

Debbie PhillipsDunn Christian Women’s Connection

We were so blessed to have you share your message and journey with us. So many members wanted me to let you know that you touched their hearts and souls and I am sure the 1st timers were given hope and reassurance by your words. I hope we have a chance to cross paths again.

Margaret CaseyChristian Women’s Connection

Thank you for participating in the Call to Prayer. Your presentation was powerful and prepared our hearts for prayer. We came away from the morning knowing we had been in God’s presence.

Joyce WagstaffSRA Stonecroft Inernational 

Thank you for your powerful spiritual messages, Susan. God truly spoke through you in a mighty way! Your messages were a rich blessing to each of us! I learned so much from the way you prepared to help me as I prepare for Bible Studies.

Peggy RiceChairSmoky Mt. Women’s Retreat 

A year since our retreat… and in this season of my life, I have begun to once again apply your “Re-words.” Yours yesterday was God’s timing for me … and today, also! Thanks so much!

Carla HawkinsPianist Smoky Mt. Women’s Retreat 

I loved your “invitation” opening. Its one of those ways your listeners will recall your message of the wonder that Almighty God as gone to such lengths to give us his word.

Looks peaceful doesn’t it?

My husband and I had SUCH high expectations for our anniversary getaway. Hahaha.
I can laugh about it now but it wasn’t so funny at the time.

Zero fish were caught.
We swamped the boat and had to bail it out three times.
Roger lost a fishing rod when it fell off the canoe.
I fell into the river trying to push off the boat.
We capsized when I reached for a floating seagull feather (of course, I did.)
Hubby lost his eyeglasses in the process and we had to swim and pull the boat to shore from a long distance… a really long distance.

Did I mention it rained almost the entire time? And we unknowingly stumbled onto a pile of red ants?

But here’s the thing... I am grateful, and not only for not drowning. I’m grateful for every single frustrating minute of that entire trip.

This week’s blog post explains why. Link in bio.

It’s officially fall now that I finally located

It’s officially fall now that I finally located the Thomas Cranberry English Muffins! Last year my friend Becky Burgue had to mail me some from Florida. And they were on sale!

What’s the big deal? Well I just had a melted turkey and havarti cheese sandwich made with a toasted cranberry muffin, Dijon mustard, hot and sweet jalapeños and a smear of cranberry relish! Yep, it’s fall! 🍁🧡🍂

Doing some seasonal decorating today? Get yourself

Doing some seasonal decorating today? Get yourself a “statement” pumpkin and pair it with a piece of art. I love this grey/green one teamed up with the autumn trees painting! Yep, I have totally fallen for fall.

Today is the last day of the Get Your Fall On sale in my Etsy shop. Prices lowered, plus the sale price equals a harvest for your decor! Happy fall, y’all! 🍁
