Once I realized He had to be Lord and Ruler of my life, my passion and gifts for writing were revealed to me. I began with journaling during my devotional\/quiet time. With pen and journal in hand, I would totally open myself up and pour out my heat to God. It was during this time that I began clearly hearing God speak to me and I would write in my journal the lessons He taught me.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJuly of 2008, my husband, Billy, was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer and many people wanted to be kept up-to-date on his condition. Thus, I began composing update e-mails that I hoped would glorify God and how He was sustaining us through this cancer journey. However, I was determined I would wait on God to give me the words He wanted me to share. So with the keyboard at my fingertips, I began sharing the lessons God was teaching us along this journey. While everyone was very grateful to hear that Billy was being healed, they were very touched by how God was working in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLittle did I know that God would use the recipients of these e-mails to encourage me to see my passion for writing as a gift that God was using to call me to expand His territory. Therefore, during the summer of 2010, I finally heeded Gods call to put all my journaling skills and His lessons into composing this devotional book. I pray that God will be glorified as He uses these lessons to help you come to know Him in a deeper more intimate fashion:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBroken Shells\u003cbr\u003e Chasing Crabs\u003cbr\u003e Lessons from The Boys\u003cbr\u003e Loving the Unlovable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Root Bound\u003cbr\u003e Score Another for God\u003cbr\u003e Candy Along the Way\u003cbr\u003e Flowers From Fertilizer\u003cbr\u003e I Want One of Those\u003cbr\u003e Covered in Feathers\u003cbr\u003e Dead Trees and Deep Roots\u003cbr\u003e Foresight\u003cbr\u003e Dance With Me\u003cbr\u003e The Birds and the Bees\u003cbr\u003e Angels and Chemo\u003cbr\u003e God’s Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e Healing in the Journey\u003cbr\u003e Seeing the Wheat\u003cbr\u003e Scarcely Abundant\u003cbr\u003e Strolling\u003cbr\u003e Cracked Pots\u003cbr\u003e Give Em More  \u003cp\u003eThese stories reflect Susans ability to see God in both the big and the little life events.
