Peace in a Storm – Hope on the Horizon
Good morning! How was your day yesterday? Mine? . . . In the midst of a “storm” . . . it was filled with Peace! Peace in a Storm This last month has not turned out as I had expected. Without going into too many details, let me just say – a storm blew in and has increased, and what was a survival mode has turned into crisis mode lately. It’s like a tornado appeared in this storm … Read entire article »

Are you a Winner – or a Loser?
Rainy Day games It has been a rainy, dreary day all day today. Yuck. Not a pretty picture outside, but inside I had fun playing board games with my 7 year old and my 9 year old. Sadly, I was beat by both of them (Monopoly City by my 9 year old, and then Life by my 7 year old). When I lost at the game Life, I congratulated my sweet daughter, and then said “Well, I … Read entire article »

Love, for the Day is near
I know I talk about Love. I can’t help it! It’s in me, around me, coming out of me, and is who I am called to be (and to do). I hope you don’t get tired of hearing about Love – because He doesn’t get tired of you! 🙂 I just wanted to encourage you all today with what I was reading in my devotions this morning. Romans 13:8-14 “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt … Read entire article »

God’s wound of love for His Bride!
I love sitting down and talking with my heavenly Daddy. He is my support – my rock – my fortress. But what I really love is snuggling up to his chest – his heart – and hearing it beat – hearing it call out to me . . . “Lori . . . I love you . . . Lori . . . I love you . . . … Read entire article »

2011 – Love-Laugh-Live
Wow – the start of a new year! I love the start of a new year. It’s sad in a way to see the last year go (and go by so fast) –but usually, by November/December – I am looking forward to the new year – to a new chapter – a turning of the page – a new leaf and season. Of course – today didn’t turn out as I had thought it would. I had plans to sit down and play with my kids, pray over them, strategize with my hubby (and on my own) and just start the year off right – on the right foot – with a clear head – knowing where I was going and what I was going to do this year. Instead – … Read entire article »

Resting imparts a melody like no other!
God has been trying to teach me how to just “rest” in Him for this season. I’ve been in a season of transition for awhile – feeling like I have been stuck in a “lock” – you know – the kind where a boat goes into, in order to transition from one body of water to another higher (or lower) body of water. I have felt stuck here for awhile . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . not doing much . . . waiting . . . all the while – knowing that there is a huge body of water that I was designed to sail in – to be a part of – to take dominion over and live in . . . my promised … Read entire article »

God cares even about the "little" things!
How are you feeling today? Are you feeling loved? Cared about? Do you know that God cares about you . . . about EVERYTHING in your life? Even the “little” things? It’s true! He does! Don’t believe me? I have proof – that He really does care about what we/you care about! Let me share a few of my favorite stories with you! Several years ago I was on my way to work after attending an event at my child’s school. I had to get back to work quickly and relieve my friend who had stayed late on her shift to cover part of mine. I had not had dinner yet, so I thought I would stop by Wendy’s and pick up something to … Read entire article »

Forecast – An Abundance of Sunshine!
(photo by Chad Johnson) Yes -that was our forecast here yesterday – an “Abundance of Sunshine”! I love it! I have never heard that in a forecast before. I’ve heard “Mostly sunny, Partly sunny, Sunny” – but never an Abundance of Sunshine! It just made me smile! No matter where you are in this world – you too had an Abundance of Sunshine yesterday (and today, and tomorrow . . . )! You did! I’m not lying! Maybe I should have written it – “SONshine”. God really is everywhere! He is the “Light of this world” John 8:12 says – “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but … Read entire article »
