A Blessing in the Storm, by Lori Laws
Monday, May 11, 2009 at 06:00AM Just before ending her first book with a love letter to God, Lori Laws says, "My advice is to dwell on what you do have instead of stressing out over what you lost or don't have. Dwelling on the former makes blessing comes and life flourish. But dwelling on the latter brings bitterness, disappointment and death."
Although she has a debilitating and painful disease, Lori is flourishing.
Her book A Blessing in the Storm, will bless everyone who reads it, especially those who keep their hearts open to God's good. Those who are struggling with any affliction--physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual--will rejoice upon reading what radical change for the good God has created in Lori's life through and in spite of her illness. Those who are well will realize more than ever just how precious it is to know Christ as both Savior and friend.
God did not give Lori the disease that twists and tightens her body into painful positions, but thankfully God can use any situation to bring about positive change in any one of us.
Lori effectively and joyfully tells the story of how God changed her from a spoiled "princess" into a woman living to serve King Jesus. To read A Blessing in the Storm is like reading letters from a friend.
Once you read A Blessing in the Storm, you'll want to follow Lori's continuing story through her blog, fittingly called Persevere.
You can purchase A Blessing in the Storm as an ebook through Lori's website. Lori explains how sometimes God doesn't calm the storm, but He comforts His child instead.
Even though I knew already, A Blessing in the Storm helped me see once again that God is always in the blessing business, no matter what one's situation appears to be. Read Lori's book and be blessed.
