My journal — my hidden place with the Lord — holds so many secrets, unlocking so many places that have freed my heart. My holy hope is that it will unlock places where maybe you’ve been imprisoned like me, and places where you’ve wrestled and quietly questioned will be opened to the truth. It’s my prayer that together we will be tackled with answers, immersed in God’s perfect love, grace and mercy, and we will be refreshed and set free.
Welcome. May you see His heart that is for you.
We are loved beyond measure, and invited to come as we are.
I have told my friends my secrets, and they have told me theirs,
but the best kept secrets I have heard
are from Jesus.
No Nametag Needed
It was the exchange of peace during our church service, a time to pretty much say hi to the people around you. We always sat near the same people, in our unspoken assigned seats. I reached my hand out to a very familiar face I’d met before, one I saw on a weekly basis. He … Continue readingNo Nametag Needed

Come as a child
Before our first child arrived, we prepared in advance by researching the best equipment to travel safely, the softest sheets to sleep soundly and the precautions to ensure his well-being. We were embarking on new territory and prepared as best we could, but honestly, we had to learn as we went along. We really took … Continue readingCome as a child
Going Without Knowing
It’s morning and I’m looking out over my back yard at the frost covering the blades of grass and I feel the need to share that I have cold feet. Cold feet ~ These are the kind that question, they back out, hesitate and lose their nerve to walk forward. The image depicts an absence … Continue readingGoing Without Knowing
Diving In
Hello 2021! How do you feel about it? Anticipation? Fear? Ho-hum? Excited? Whatever it is, it’s unknown territory, and like it or not, we are diving in! Makes me think about jumping off the diving board when I was a kid. My mom or dad would tread water in the deep end and I would … Continue readingDiving In
Christmas Sparks Joy, Invites Hope
Christmas for me surfaces a mix of emotion. Joy bubbles up big time, yet suffering places also seem to surface in magnitude, maybe not outwardly, but deep down I feel them. Do you know what I mean? Behind our family picture, I rejoice big time! But don’t be fooled, there’s no perfect family. I acknowledge the … Continue readingChristmas Sparks Joy, Invites Hope

Hi! I’m Lori.
Behind any of my words is a girl who has not always walked the straight and narrow. One who has hit some dead ends, sharp turns, heartaches of regret and challenges. Behind any of my words is a heart that desires to share the windy road; for us to know and discover God’s ultimate desire. That whatever path we find ourselves on, it’ll stir us and lead us home to His safe embrace.
Life is better when we travel together.
