I'm so glad you are finding your way back to the light. I continue to pray for you and John and am SO glad you had God with you through this.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487340922585988224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-77291029164684896152010-03-01T14:38:19.083-05:002010-03-01T14:38:19.083-05:00Lori,

To be able to see the blessings that have present in your life these past 13 very difficult weeks is inspiring. You've made me remember that I need to be on my knees far more often than I am. I changed the song on my blog last week to one of my favorites by Mark Schultz, "He Will Carry Me". It has been uplifting to me lately when the reality of our move to MN comes crashing in. I hope it might give you some encouragement on some of your difficult days as well :)Hilary Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074833890977655054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-73061538860838330742010-03-01T13:13:07.004-05:002010-03-01T13:13:07.004-05:00It is amazing to see the good things that have com...It is amazing to see the good things that have come from something so tragic.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-76171193229704299292010-03-01T02:35:09.396-05:002010-03-01T02:35:09.396-05:00Well said, Terri, I second your prayer for Lori to...Well said, Terri, I second your prayer for Lori to continue to feel these moments more and more, longer and longer lasting. Lori, you are such a beautiful spirit. Thank you so much for taking on this challenging question. I know there were times when I never could have answered this. Nor would I have wanted to. But there is beauty in sorrow, it might not be the beauty we wanted, but still there is always something worth treasuring and remembering.Anchored By Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581130772152330439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-23704200335227600402010-02-28T23:39:25.130-05:002010-02-28T23:39:25.130-05:00Lori - i am so glad for you for the feelings behin...Lori - i am so glad for you for the feelings behind this post.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with him, but he is a radio DJ (he & his co-hort make up the "Rick & Bubba Show"). He lost his 2-yr-old son two years ago. His testimony is poweful and I would love for you to listen to it. You can find it at the Olive sermon site: http://www.oliveonline.org/. It's the first one on the list, entitled "My Testimony". You will be so encouraged by it, especially in light of what you posted today. I'm so thankful to hear that God is showing Himself to you in a very real way.
