Lori

Director of Devotions

Lori’s mom insists that she came out of the womb ‘talking’ and has not stopped since. Lori however, insists that over the past 39 years she has learned a thing or two about listening as well. Especially, when it is God who is doing the talking.

Hearing the voice of God has led her out of a ‘desert place’ and into a garden full of praise for the King. A lifelong Christian, Lori heard the voice of God 17 years ago when she said ‘yes’ to the man who would become her husband and best friend. In those 17 years, 13 add
resses have made the journey a ‘wild ride’ at times! Finally, settling back in the Southern United States, a homecoming of sorts after having spent 4 years in college in Clemson, South Carolina…Lori says, “It is so good to be back in the south!”

Having grown up in the church, Lori knows that her ‘true spiritual journey’ began with an experience with infertility and surrendering to the Lord, allowing HIM to break her and remake her. The smile she wears tells that she is so happy to be on the journey that she is on now. A journey that includes homeschooling 3 wonderful children and teaching at the homeschool co-op as well as religion classes at church. She often wishes she could shout from the mountain top that this is all by the grace and mercy of God.

Homeschooling has become the ‘new passion’ in her life. As a teacher at heart, the call to home school is something that was places on her heart 4 years ago. Not knowing a single home schooler at the time, it was truly a leap of faith….It is her hope to grow in the home school ministry to encourage and support others on this wonderful and challenging journey! Lori believes “home schoolers can give so much to each other” and is thrilled to be a part of this new online magazine for home schoolers!

People often compare Lori to the “energizer bunny,” but she is quick to comment that the energy that she has is from the LORD…”if HE is going to supply it, I’d better use it…lest He think that I don’t need it…and I do!!”

Lori claims the phrase, “no storm can shake my inmost calm, when to this rock I’m clinging…” and insists that she will “take it Lord, ALL you have to give….” Praising HIM every step of the way….

She encourages you to enjoy the journey with her at her blogspot: where she can be found daily… enjoying the journey every step of the way.
