Faith.
It’s such a powerful word, but also one that is a bit murky. What does it mean to have faith? (more…)
A cup of conflict anyone?
February 15, 2008 | T. Suzanne Eller

You are the bomba!
February 14, 2008 | T. Suzanne Eller
This morning I found a card resting against my bedroom door. I shuffled out of the bedroom with my morning non-personality intact. I picked up the card and opened it and the rocking music made my hips start to move.
La La Bomba! (more…)
I just don’t get the Bible
February 13, 2008 | T. Suzanne Eller
A few of my friends and I were sitting around a campfire recently and the conversation turned to faith.
“I just don’t understand the Bible,” one friend said. “I read it. I just don’t get it.”
Maybe that’s your struggle, too. One resource that has really be helpful to me is Studylight. It’s an online resource that allows you to read passages of scripture (it also has an audio feature that will read it to you), but it offers much more than that. (more…)
From “Meet Me At the Well”
February 12, 2008 | T. Suzanne Eller
Insurance companies tell us to take a video recording of our valuables in case of fire. Those things represent a large investment that will need to be replaced. What is on your treasure list today? Make a list in your journal of everything visible in your home that you wouldn’t want to leave behind. What gives each thing value to you?
Now make a list of invisible treasures. These are priceless. We know that nothing can ever replace what matters most in this life and for eternity. If God calls you home anytime soon, what will you take with you? What will you keep forever?
Knowing which treasure lasts forever and which do not, how will this affect the way you live now? What needs to change? Write it down in your journal and ask God to help you do that. pg. 112, Meet Me at the Well

From a review of The Woman I Am Becoming: Embracing the Chase for Identity, Faith, and Destiny
by T. Suzanne Eller
Fresh from her ground–breaking book The Mom I Want to Be, speaker and young–adult mentor Suzie Eller offers 18–to–29–year–old women an honest, faith–filled look at the journey to maturity. In The Woman I Am Becoming, she acknowledges the pressure to look and act a certain way, and helps readers explore key questions:
- What is a real woman?
- Where do I fit?
- What should I look like?
- Who should I be with?
- Where am I going?
- What about my faith?
Each short chapter offers words from Suzie’s own story and an application, followed by real–life advice from older women who are still becoming. Concluding questions then help readers make what they’re reading their own.
Review: by Elece Hollis, Christian Book Preview Reviewer
The Woman I am Becoming: Embracing the Chase for Identity, Faith, and Destiny, by T. Suzanne Eller is a book for women in their twenties, that aims to fill a generation gap. Eller reminds readers that life in America has changed with families having moved apart leaving many young women without guides and role models for life. Finding a mentor or worthy examples to follow is one theme of this book. (more…)
