THE DAY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

April 3, 2021 by Lori Leave a Comment

 

What day came to mind for you? Was it when the world was locked down due to the pandemic?

Consider this significant day instead, Resurrection Day. People die every day due to a variety of situations and sicknesses.

There is hope. You don’t have to feel defeated or depressed. Despite difficult circumstances, loss, and lack, there is good news.

It is resurrection weekend as I write this. The Easter message isn’t about bunnies and chocolate. However, the chocolate is a bonus, especially dark chocolate. The message is new life.

 

Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus was the death of death; we can live beyond the grave. We get to enjoy our lives here on earth in the meantime. Before you take a dirt nap, make sure you bless everyone with the gifts and talents that were put in you for a purpose. Shocking but true.

 

 

The Word of God says in 1 John 3:2, “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”

If you are a believer, this is good news. Your loved ones who died, if they were believers and you are too, you will see them again. Think about it, they aren’t just a part of your past, they will also be part of your future.

Look at your life now. Reflect and resurrect your dreams. It is the season of spring. Spring to life. Make this a new beginning. Wipe the slate clean. Get a fresh vision of the new you. Most people know they can do more and be more. Write down your vision, goals, and dreams.

Let God breathe new life into you. It’s not too late. Know this: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Be grateful, have faith, and celebrate not only this Resurrection Day, but every day of your life. Hold your loved ones close. Make memories. Treasure every moment. Leave a legacy.

Spread the Good News. Flood the gates of heaven. If you haven’t experienced a true, personal God encounter, all you have to do is ask the Creator to reveal himself to you. We all need a savior. There is no greater love. You get to choose. Now you know the way, the truth, and the life. Let Jesus be your GPS. Your journeys and destinations will be the best.

What I know is I once was lost and let go of God. That caused intense pain, destruction, and hurt to me and many others. God didn’t give up on me even when I gave up on myself. Since then, I have forgiven myself, reinvented myself, and am back in the arms of the One who created me. I encourage you to live the life you were born to live.

Take the next step. Write your story. Speak your story. Evaluate and discover what you want your life to look like. I can show you how to get there. Message me for more details. I appreciate you. I celebrate you. Thanks for being here.

Happy Easter!

 

Love and Blessings,

Lori’s Stories — Listen to the Voice that Matters

April 29, 2020 by Lori 8 Comments

Listen to the Voice that Matters

By Lori Bruton

They say, “Be still” but what about all the bills?

Isolated and quarantined; how can you show up and be seen?

Does it matter? Will anyone care or will there just be silence and blank stares?

Too many questions, not enough answers; one minute you think you know what to do,

But then are you to cease and desist… or continue to persist?

Feeling unqualified and out of date can leave you in a compromising state.

You know feelings lie; but when do you feel them and when do you say goodbye?

This world is in a crazy state, which can mess with your mind and perspective.

That’s when it’s time to shut off the noise, breathe, and be reflective.

You thought you found your voice to finally speak up,

Is anyone really listening? Or, should you just shut up?

Where did your gifts go? Are they still in sight and you wonder if you are meant to write?

People say, “You should know the answer.” What if you don’t for real?

Trying to figure it out makes you weary. I know how you feel.

There is no rescue in sight; you do your best to continue to fight.

Now enter Gideon, who didn’t think he was capable. He felt weak and discouraged.

God sent an angel who called him a mighty man of fearless courage.

That is not how Gideon saw himself, God saw his potential and called him what he could become.

Okay, now this poem is done. I need to run.

Why? Because I AM a writer with messages to share,

Even though not everyone will care.

The moral of this Lori Story is delight in your weaknesses and difficulties,

Because where I am weak, He is strong and so are you.

Choose to BELIEVE what God says about YOU.

 

(Read 2 Corinthians 12:10)
