About Susan Browder

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”  Hebrews 11:1 I grew up in a small town in Alabama called Boligee. I am a wife and a mom to two sons, Nick who is 24 and married to his sweet wife, Mallory, and Jacob who is 18.  My husband, Nicky, is a person of who I am so proud. Our lives changed forever on September 6, 2014 about 7:00 pm. Our son, Jacob, had an accident that would deeper our faith in God and challenge us in ways we never dreamed. My prayer is that our story will encourage others in their struggles with life altering experiences. My writing will be our testimonies but more than that it is about how we have a loving, caring God that carries us through the most difficult times of our lives.

Thankful for the People Placed in my life

 

 

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

 

There are so many people God has placed in my life at the perfect moment. Some of these people did what they considered to be small things for me, which turned out to be huge blessings.

Friends on my path

As I started my college classes in 1991, I thought I wanted to be a nurse. I quickly realized I didn’t have this gift. God placed a friend in my path one day and this person looked at me with a look of, “I can’t believe you don’t know what you’re calling is!” She said, “Susan, you love kids! You should be a teacher.” Well twenty-nine years later, I’m teaching in my twenty-fifth year. 

Perfectly Placed

I could write hundreds of pages of instances like this happening throughout my life, and I’m sure you could too! God is so good at perfectly placing people in our lives to create blessings. These certainly deserve praise. 

 

Counting My Blessings,
