The original intent of this blog was to document my journey from complacent, lukewarm, generic Christian who occasionally goes to church and reads her bible every now and then and prays only when the need arises, to a genuine, all-in Christ follower who only has eyes for Jesus. So much has changed in my life in recent months, and I have to say that I am in a place where I never would have guessed I&rsquo;d be. I have been faced with life-changing decisions, and having made those decisions, I do wonder what will be the result and where&nbsp;I will end up. I&rsquo;m scared; I&rsquo;d be a lying fool if I said I wasn&rsquo;t. But more than I&rsquo;m scared, I&rsquo;m trusting in a God for Whom nothing is too hard. He is bigger than any problem I could possibly find myself with, and He will get me through this, even if it isn&rsquo;t until I&rsquo;m on the other side of this life. </div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.loris-stories.com/uploads/5/1/6/5/5165540/148786802.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:100%;max-width:1024px" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope + Trust = Joy + Peace]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/hope-trust-joy-peace]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/hope-trust-joy-peace#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 02 Sep 2013 17:23:38 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/hope-trust-joy-peace</guid><description><![CDATA[      [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;text-align:left"> <a> <img src="http://www.loris-stories.com/uploads/5/1/6/5/5165540/3019284.jpg?1378143115" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be the moon...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/be-the-moon]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/be-the-moon#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:20:05 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/be-the-moon</guid><description><![CDATA[      [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.loris-stories.com/uploads/5/1/6/5/5165540/7566896.jpg?444" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was totally a cat person until this creature came along]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/i-was-totally-a-cat-person-until-this-creature-came-along]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/i-was-totally-a-cat-person-until-this-creature-came-along#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:06:59 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.loris-stories.com/blog/i-was-totally-a-cat-person-until-this-creature-came-along</guid><description><![CDATA[    Tyson, the most awesome dog ever.
