About
The Author
Meet Lori
I am a wife, as well as a biological, adoptive, and special needs mom who loves my crew to the moon and back — too much at times! I also love Jesus like crazy, so it makes sense that I love to write, speak, and teach others about Him, His character, and His love for us.
My heart aches when I see untapped potential. The kind meant to do remarkable things, but get buried beneath stuff like fear, shame, and insecurity because of lies planted within our minds. I lived that way for too long. I saw myself as the reflection of my mistakes — my brokenness — and the labels of the world. It was a long time before I finally saw myself in the reflection of my Savior and began to fully live.
Today I know God’s love in a whole new way. A life-changing way. And I am honored to help you discover His love in that same kind of way. Join me here as we navigate life as women, wives, mothers, daughters, and friends. I’ll share my struggles and strategies while we hold tight to Jesus along the way.

Know Who You Are
But Even More Importantly, Know Whose you are
Welcome! I am so glad you are here!
If you’ve never been to church before, or if you have and it left you feeling confused and unhappy, or if you just want to be challenged spiritually and grow closer to the heart of God, I want to help you do that.
The world is a difficult place. It’s unsteady at its best and often gives us an angry lopsided destructive view of who we are. It isn’t a place we can look to for belonging or worth. But Jesus is. His steady and redemptive love for us gives us the hope we need. We can look to Him for our reflection of belonging and worth. When we do we discover how marvelous and wonderful we really are!
