Hi, I’m Susan Raynor—pastor’s wife, mama of two, homeschooler, and the heart behind Makin’ Macon. Around here, we serve up encouragement in the middle of chaos—whether that’s feeding your family on a budget, growing in faith, or just getting through another wild Sunday. I believe in real-life grace, good food, and the kind of peace only God can give. Grab a cup of coffee and stay a while—you’re not alone here.
