What are you Soaking in Today?
I know I haven’t posted in awhile – but as I mentioned in a previous post or two – I started taking classes in January. I’m part of a School of Supernatural Ministry here locally, but we are using the curriculum from Bethel’s School of Supernatural Ministry out in Redding, California. I also said this before too – but if you haven’t checked out this church, what it’s doing, what they teach and preach . . . you need to! Their church is not only changing their city – but their reach is spreading across the globe – to bring healing, deliverance, salvation, love and power to the world! Bill Johnson – head pastor (as well as other pastors and leaders from that church – Kris Vallotton and Danny … Read entire article »

Do you know WHO you are?
I love thinking about how intricately God designed us – designed me! Even down to my name – having my parents choose the name Lori (meaning – Victorious one!) for me. He didn’t leave any detail undone! I was watching my cat yesterday, sitting in the window sill, enjoying the breeze coming in from the open, screened in window, but at the same time – longing to be outside – to be chasing the birds she would see in the yard, to be running around in the grass – nibbling on it, exploring, tasting, smelling, chasing, crouching, playing (with other cats), running – free! I could tell it was driving her crazy to be inside – especially with the windows open! It looked liked torture –to be … Read entire article »

Tired? Weary? Pink Dandelions?!
I just wanted to share a private conversation I had with God back on Dec. 26th, 2009. It’s an honest picture of how I was feeling that day – hiding nothing. The reason I am willing to share it with you today is because it was encouraging me even more today – and I thought that it might encourage you! I hope so! None of us are perfect – but God is – and I’m thankful that He will take all of me – and give me all of Him in return! 🙂 Take a refreshing sip today! L 🙂 L – Happy Birthday Jesus (a day late)!! Ok . . . so I know it probably wasn’t the exact date. … Read entire article »

Are you IMMUNE to ARREST?!
Hello there! I hope you are doing well! I’ve missed sharing with you for the past few weeks. I’ve been trying to get caught up with alot of household things – reorganizing, simplifying, etc! But I’ve missed you! I just wanted to share some thoughts with you today about what I am reading in Exodus. No – this will not be boring! 🙂 Yes – it looks long . . .but trust me . . . it’s easy to read -and well worth it! 🙂 Take a chance! What do you have to lose? 10 minutes out of your day? 🙂 Great! I’m glad you are joining me for this journey! I love having company! 🙂 (ps – please … Read entire article »

Shame – Read my lips. . . .NO Condemnation!
Ok – here’s my first attempt at putting an audio file on my blog! You will probably want to go down and hit “pause” on the music player so that you can listen to this. I will also see if I am able to post it so you can download the file – and then put it on your ipod or mp3 player to listen to on the go! Here I go – diving a bit deeper into the world of technology! 🙂 This teaching was one that the Lord recently allowed me to do at our church’s Women’s Immersion Weekend – all about our Identity in Christ. I was one of 4 speakers. In preparing for this topic, the Lord showed and taught me alot … Read entire article »

Have Peace? . . . Are you Free?
“There is no peace unless we are free!” I had never watched the Academy award winning movie Joan of Arc (with Ingrid Bergman), but felt compelled to check it out at our library the other day. Sad to say, I really didn’t know much about this heroine – but felt like I should. I cried off and on the first 30 minutes or more of the movie! It wasn’t the acting, the script, the cinematography . . . it was the eerily similar calling and revelations in her life compared to mine (except – hopefully – not to burn at the stake!). Hers was to help set the people of France free from the English who had invaded her country. Who was she? Just a young (teenage) peasant farm … Read entire article »

Jesus loves me this I know . . .
We ALL know the children’s song “Jesus loves me”! We probably can’t even count the number of times we have sung that song throughout our lifetime . . . 100 times? 200? 1000? More? Jesus loves me this I know.For the Bible tells me so.Little ones to Him belong.They are weak, but He is strong. Yes . . . Jesus loves me.Yes . . . Jesus loves me.Yes . . . Jesus loves me.The Bible tells me so. I had an interesting conversation with one of my sisters recently. She has been struggling with severe anxiety and depression for several months now, but the Lord has been graciously healing her and is slowly bringing her out of the deepest valley she has ever experienced. She is … Read entire article »

Twilight – To read/watch or not?
One of the bloggers I occasionally follow recently posted a question to her readers that I was definitely interested in. I was looking forward to reading everyone’s comments about this topic – a controversial one within the Christian community (We have alot of “controversial topics” – don’t we? Jesus himself was controversial in His time too!). It was on the topic of the books and movie – “Twilight”. Here’s her post on Praise and Coffee. Below is my response to her query. Don’t be afraid to go DEEP! Lori 🙂 I’ve been reading the GREATEST love story ever!! I can’t get enough of it! It is full of mystery, wars, lust, adultery, betrayal, miracles, death, and more! Have you read it?! . . . If not – … Read entire article »

Prayer for the nation – and LOVE!
Here is a link to the mp3 recording of the national prayer conference call that happened on Thursday, Septemeber 24th, 2009. Please listen and pray along for our nation! God loves us – and wants us to return to Him – to be the bride He has created us to be. He wants to hold us close – to let us not just “know” that His heart beats for us – to just “know” that He loves us (“Jesus loves me this I know – for the Bible tells me so”) . . . . but He wants us to FEEL His love for us – to FEEL His heart beating for us. Our hearts are the source of our lives. If our heart were to stop beating – … Read entire article »

Fresh Produce . . . Now Open!
As I drove home a few days ago, I passed by a sign I’ve driven past hundreds of times before. It sits outside a scarcely frequented family owned produce shack near our house. I used to marvel at the consistency, dependability and patience of the older gentleman that would sit in his lawn chair day after day, all day long – just waiting for the few customers that would occasionally stop by to purchase … Read entire article »
