Today did not start out very well. I am stiff and hurting and my blood sugar is up. Sydney was whimpering at 6 AM and I found him all wet so I had to strip everything, give him a bath and do a couple of loads of laundry. I began to pray that despite how I was feeling God would bless me that the Light of Christ might shine through my eyes and that I might feel His love and His presence with me. As I have mentioned before, I am always humming and God sends me messages through song.
I cannot remember the music that was coming to me when I first woke up but after I had finished everything and was out the door to give Missie her walk, an amazing thing happened. As I prayed once more, the strains of amazing grace came to me and I found myself humming and then singing outloud the verse that begins, "The Lord has promised good to me."
"The Lord has promised good to me; His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures."
As I sang the words over and over again, an amazing thing happened. I began to feel His light shining through me and I felt His presence beside me. I still felt stiff and in pain, but with His presence I was able to rise above it. The words are true. He has promised good to me, His word does my hope secure and He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

About Me
- Mom
- Mayer, Arizona
- My name is Suzanne Osborne Halliday. I am a mother of five sons: Michael, Edward, Stephen, Bruce and Daniel. I have a beloved step daughter: Lisa. I am the grandmother of seven grandsons: Anthony, Joshua, Aaron, Tyler, Mattie, Sydney, Zachary, and three grand daughters: Bella, Gali and Alycia. I was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1942 to Harvey Osborne and Joyce White. When I was nine years old my parents moved to Peridot, Arizona, a village on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation where my father had bought a trading post. It was not long after this that I was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A family down the road invited me to attend Primary. It was held in the back of the Weech's Trading Post in San Carlos. This was where I learned that I because of Jesus Christ I could return to live with my Heavenly Father again one day. Three years later my heart was touched by a Joseph Smith pamphlet I found in my brother Stevie's lunch pail. I joined the church 13 May 1961 when I was 19 years old. This decision has greatly changed my life.
