Catoctin Promise Band
Contemporary Praise and Worship Band

Susan Mize

I'm Susan Mize and I have been with the band for over 2 years.  I had never sung with a band before, nor did it ever enter into my wildest dreams to do so.  Two years ago when Tim asked me to join the band, I did so after much prayer.   It has been a growing experience for me.  It was a shocker that God called on me to use my ?one? talent.  Anyway, I don't really like to call myself a singer, but I am a worshiper and I do this wholeheartedly.

I am a mother of two sons, 25 years old and 14, Matthew and Daniel. I have been married to a (usually) wonderful husband for 28 years, Thom.   I can't mention my family without mentioning our other members: 3 cats, 1 dog, and a horse.  (Ozzie, Maynard, Sebastian, Whitney, and Amber respectively) 

I am an animal lover.  I actually didn't really like people until I became a Christian and God made me love them. 
I have been a Christian since I was 18 years old ---30 years!!! Wow.  Anyway, I am a product of the 70's.  I was heavily involved in drugs, including speed and hallucinogens.  My older sister used to witness to me and tell me that 'Jesus is better than LSD'. I initially thought she was crazy.  During this same time period, my mother was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and was given 3 months to live. She lived 3 years, and during that time I gave my life to the Lord. 

I am still in awe over God's faithfulness, being my ever present help in time of need.  His word and Person have transformed my life and He is continually transforming me from glory to glory.  One of the biggest obstacles in my life has been to learn to love and trust both the Lord and others.  Jeremiah 29:11 has been a foundational scripture in my life to prove the incredible character of our heavenly Father: 'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.'
