What is this blog about?

This blog is the beginning of my journey through grief and loss and how God is moving all the while. I lost my husband and best friend, Eric to ALS on April 21, 2010. His grace is sufficient for me, has carried me through the fiercest storms and will continue to carry me until I meet Him face to face. I couldn't live another day without his Presence in my life. This blog will be a journal of my struggles and the ways He will show himself to me. I say this without even making my first entry, because I am confident He will be with me all the while. The title of this blog was inspired by a song I heard last week called "Moving all the While" by Sidewalk Prophets. It was exactly what I needed to be reminded of at that time. That is one small example of what I mean about God showing himself to me. I will use my own words, scripture from the most important book on this earth that is without error- The Bible, quotes from other helpful books I am reading, songs, people, circumstances and other ways God speaks to me. Please use the comment section on the blog as it encourages me to keep writing.

A lot has happened since my last post on January 19th

Well, after I posted about my relationship with Todd on January 19th, I got engaged the next day!  Let's just say it has been a whirlwind since then.  It has been really great and now I am 13 days away from becoming Mrs. Todd Ritter.  To sum it up, God has been so good to me and the kids.  I am very busy as we are getting ready not only to become married but to blend our families as we move to Hamilton and start our lives together (after the honeymoon of course) Todd is an amazing man and he loves me deeply and my kids.  I love him and his kids more than you would think possible in 10 months.  This is a gift to find love twice in a lifetime and I am so blessed.  I will end at this as I need to be packing my house among many other things.  I was able to share my testimony on Mother's Day at our church and have attached the link below as it sums up so much of my life in under an hour (be sure to hit pause on the jukebox).  Thanks for your support, prayers and love over the years on this journey.  I don't expect to be updating this blog again, but stay tuned as I may start a new one, maybe on blended families..... :)
Blessings,
Lori

    Congrats on your engagement! Your testimony speaks so clearly to me. Our stories have some similalrities. Please pray for me, this is my summer to discover who I am w/o my husband who passed away from cancer on March 18th. I read Miriam's book per your recommendation at the beginning of your blog. I started at the beginning of your blog after my husband passed away, to see "what I am supposed to be doing or feeling". Thanks for your writing!
