Finally on The Mend

By Susan Elliott

Well, it has been a long hard road but I think I am finally on the mend. I started getting sick in October, and now it's the middle of November. WOW!

I just want to thank everyone for the prayers and the well wishes. I still have a bit going on in my chest, and the early morning and early evening hours are hard on my breathing, but today I realize I have not had one coughing fit, and I could not be more thankful.

Because of the illness I've been suffering (bacterial lung infection), I've gotten way behind on my book of the month club posts, so please bear with me and I will get to them as soon as possible. (I have to catch up on my reading, too.) I also pray that my voice is good enough to start recording again this week, so be on the look out for new devos and author interviews on YouTube.

I wanted to mention that I have a huge announcement that I plan to make in the next couple of weeks, and I hope you're going to be as excited about it as I am. (Let's just say, brush off your short stories and poetry!)

Anyway, thanks for reading and sharing your books with me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Walk With Me by Susan Elliott

I’ve never seen your face before,
but I know you just the same.
You long to know our Father.
You long to lose your pain.

I once was just like you–
traveling a dusty road,
but, my weighty heart was lightened.
Now my Savior bares the load.

He longs to be your Savior
to walk with you, hand in hand,
to follow Him to glory
to enter His Promised Land.

My life is such a blessing,
because I’m walking with the Son.
And your life can be blessed, too,
once your walk with Him’s begun.
