![]() There are so many different aspects of my testimony that I am going to give it to you in segments......and not in any particular order. As most of you know, I am a volunteer for Hospice Advantage out of Athens. The interesting part about me volunteering there is what really makes this a testimony for me. All of my life I have loved to help people. There is something deep inside of me that longs and yearns to make a difference through serving for the glory of God......not the glory of Lorri! Last year I was visiting with my mom and dad and while mom was having physical therapy, dad and I went shopping......well, more like window shopping! There was this big and beautiful REI store and I could not wait to go in. While there, I found the perfect winter boots for the kids and decided to get them for them for Christmas! I found out that you can join as a member with REI and you get special savings and so on. It also put me on their mailing list which sent me emails of special sales and events. I decided to join and I am very glad I did! One day I was going through my emails, and came across one from REI. In one little area, it talked about opportunities to serve........so I looked! Believe it or not, Hospice Advantage was on there! I was really nervous and almost afraid of failing them somehow! BUT GOD!!!!! I thought back to my past and remembered all of the times that I failed......that I did not feel good enough, pretty enough, or talented enough. In the past, though I believed in God......I did not always believe that He was going to help me through.....(sad to say!). Oh me of little faith! God helped me to overcome that crippling fear that almost stopped me from doing what HE called me to do! The first day I met Amy my coordinator, I was so scared........afraid of not finding where I was supposed to meet her.......afraid that she would look at me and tell me it would not work with me......afraid deep down that I would not be able to do this task that could be very difficult emotionally. BUT GOD!!! God was so gracious in giving me Mr. Jack as one of my very first patients! He broke me in in a very special way! All of the things that I thought I might fail at.......I DID NOT! All of the things that could have held me back......THEY DID NOT!!!! As a matter of fact......it has also given me a chance to not only serve......but serve with Chelsea and Devon too! Mr. Jack holds a giant piece of Chelseas heart as he does mine, but he also holds a piece of Devons. This opportunity has not only blessed me, but Chelsea and Devon as well! God is so great! I am hoping this summer Tanner will get to go with me a time or two...........he would love it every bit as much as Devon does! This whole process has really taken my fear.......and thrown it out the window! We serve such a mighty God and I am so thankful that He loves me and accepts me as I am! I want to encourage you all to look for opportunities to serve any and every time you can! It is a blessing beyond measure......and if God leads you to it.......He WILL lead you through it!!!! I love you so very much and I pray you will find GODS Will for Your lives in the most precious ways! I love you all!!!!

Did you ever watch any of the movies made by the Church in South Georgia like: Fly Wheel, Love Dare, Facing the Giants, and so on? God gave Alex the vision, but not only the vision.......but the act of walking out a lot of what happened in the movies.....just in different ways. God has a purpose for us all......even when it seems like something bigger than we are! Please watch and share.......and know that God has something bigger for you than you can imagine! May God bless you!!!!!

Please share this video and know that someone NEEDS this vidoe! May God Bless yo http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/lee-lucas/ “I remember praying many times and saying, God, won’t you take this off of me? God never did.”
This is a prayer that John prayed often! Please share this with anyone you know who has suffered a disability, whether born with it......or developed it over their span of life........it is another incredible testimony! May God bless yo 04/08/2013: John Meador http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/john-meador/ Many grow up in Church, yet have no idea what Christianity is. It is a harsh reality that hits when disaster strikes and you realize you really don't know where your hope comes from. This is an incredible video......in which Randy learns that he needs to KNOW God for who He is! May God bless you!
04/07/2013: Randy Moore http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/randy-moore/ "I faked my own kidnapping to get out of the pressure." This statement from Cece really caught my attention! Sometimes pressure can cause us to do things we never would have done. I am sure you know to some extent for I sure do! Please watch and listen......then share.....there may be someo 04/06/2013: CeCe Sims http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/cece-sims/ Northern Exposure was one of my favorite T.V. shows in my younger years. Janines Testimony really moved my heart! We often look at people on t.v. and think they don't really have a care in the world because they have it all.........but that is so not true. Please watch and share, and you will be as blessed as I was! May God bless you!! This testimony took my breath away! As I started watching it, I was very confused. The Scruggs had a testimony that I posted a few months ago. I then realized that this was not about them.......but their daughter. As I listened, my heart was gripped with the feeling a mother has when something happens to their child. I implore you to watch the first link and then watch the second one......and ALL will make sense. Please share for this could speak directly Any of you who know me, know that Music is an incredibly large piece of my life.......especially Christian Music. As a singer myself, and the manager of the Band AGAINST THE DOWNPOUR, I find myself drawn to this testimony. God has used Michael W. Smith in AMAZING ways, but it took a near death experience to wake him up and set his path in the ways of the Lord. Please watch and share.......God knows who needs to hear! May God Bless you!!!!
04/03/2013: Michael W. Smith http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/michael-w-smith/ Has God ever put you flat on your back to get your attention? This is a beautiful story of God doing just that! Please |
