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.

Story featured on Widow Connection website

My story on Widow Connection website
Widow Connection website

A few months ago, I was asked by Miriam Neff of Widow Connection and author of Widow to Widow if I could write up my story for her website.  After months of being busy and procrastination, I finally took some time to share my story in hopes to encourage others who have been widowed in the promises of God in his Word and His faithfulness.  Some references were taken straight from my last blog post so some may seem familiar, but so true!  I am truly honored to share my story with others in this way and share where my hope comes from!

    Lori,
    Truly beautiful! You are such a witness to God's love & His faithfulness.
    One thing I always miss seeing at church is Eric... how he always chatted with me... made me feel like I belonged... He was a peice of Heaven there for me.
    Always praying for you & the kids!
    love you sister,
    chippy

    Lori,
    I want you to know that I have found great comfort in your story. My husband went home be with his Lord on Jan 12 2011. He was 43, and it was a very sudden unexpected illness. We have been married 20 years and have 5 wonderful children. God has been so very good, His grace is so much more than sufficient. I never would have believed that I could walk this road and be able to say that with total confidence, but I really can.
    Please keep on writing, it is so good to hear about other women trusting in God and His promises and seeing where it takes them.
    We serve such an amazing God!
