You are worthy.

Even if you’re shy like the heroine of Spring for Susannah.

Even if you fail at your mission like Sophia in Through Rushing Water.

Even if you can’t convince your boss of your competence like Mabel in Gilding the Waters.

Even if you have a child with a disability like Caroline in Third Strand of the Cord.

Even if you can't find work like Corrie in Off the Ground.

Even if you feel abandoned like Keziah in The Shelter of Each Other.

The world says you’re lacking, but God knows better. He loves you so much, He sacrificed His son for you. He wiped your sin-slate clean and made a way for you to go to Heaven. So join me on the porch – take the air chair and put your feet up – and let me show you how God loves you!

PS Home to Susannah, the sequel to Spring for Susannah, is ready! It’s on my website and free! If you wondered how Jesse and Susannah’s reunion is working, if their baby is a boy or a girl, and whether the grasshoppers came back, now you can find out. If you haven’t read Spring for Susannah or don’t remember it—good grief, it’s been a while!—I’ve given you enough of their history to keep you from being lost on the prairie.

So head on over to my website and pick up your copy of Home to Susannah!
