Why we don’t come near to God.

Why we don’t come near to God.

I thought I would share my latest Sunday Sip post from my Mothering-Matters.com blog with you all today. It was not specifically geared towards just moms – and I felt like there was someone here that needed to hear this. If that’s you – please let me know! It always encourages me to hear that what I’m pouring out is actually quenching the needs and thirst of others – watering them to bring refreshment, growth, and more! Enjoy!   Image … Read entire article »

Happy Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday!

I have this picture on my dining room wall. Several years ago, my husband and I went out for coffee at a Christian coffee shop, and this picture was hanging in their little gift shop. I could not take my eyes off it all night! I mentioned it to my husband, and he surprised me at Christmas with it a few months later. Why couldn’t I keep my eyes off it? I grew up in church … Read entire article »

You are (already) LOVED!!

You are (already) LOVED!!

“She’ll kill herself trying to earn my love – when it’s hers already.” – Michael Hosea from the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers You are LOVED! The quote above hit me this morning as I was listening to this book on CD. You truly are loved . . . . already! There is nothing that you (as a mom, wife, friend, worker, nurse, teacher, doctor, etc) have to do, have done, need to do, or will do that will … Read entire article »

Married . . . but in love with another Man

Married . . . but in love with another Man

I am in love with another man. It’s true. My husband knows all about it. And he approves. How about you? Who are the loves of your life? I have several – but there is one that tops them all. That’s right . . . It’s God! You know about Him . . . but do you know Him? When I went to college, my roommates started talking about these guys who worked at the campus radio station that they had met.  My one roommate … Read entire article »

God is not silent

God is not silent

Every August at our church we dedicate the whole month to prayer.  I look forward to this month every year.  As we set aside time to spend with God – in worship, intercession, soaking, praise, and more – we are never disappointed!  God always meets with us, heals us, transforms us, pushes us forward and up to new levels, and most most importantly – He showers us with more of His presence and Love!  His … Read entire article »

Love, for the Day is near

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!

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 »

Perfection

I wanted to post my own personal testimony that I shared with my local MOPS group a few weeks ago. Sometimes you come across blogs or websites that you like – but wonder – who is this person writing all this really? Well – there are no secrets here! Satan likes to keep us in bondage through our secrets – and I, for one, am fed up with it! I am loving the freedom that Christ died on the cross to give me -and I want more of it! I know that God LOVES to take what the enemy meant for evil, and use it for good – to change lives, to set people free, to minister to our broken hearts,and more! You’ve got to read my other post called … Read entire article »
