Her favorite verse is: Philippians 4:6 & 7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

game night are how Sue likes to spend her free time. 

Although Sue had always believed in God, she came to know the Lord in a personal way in 2002 after the love and guidance of a Bible fellowship group through a local church. She has since been thirsting for more knowledge of His Word and works daily to deepen her relationship with the Lord.    

One of her favorite and most inspiring bible verse is Psalm 23: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
