WOW!  What an amazing and REFRESHING weekend.  This weekend I participated in Believer’s Church’s Christian women’s retreat at the W.W. Mann center.  On Saturday morning I shared my testimony of survivorship of cancer to nearly 100 women attending the retreat.  I also shared I how I feel God has called me and gifted me in wonderful ways.  One of my gifts is to continue to create and share the gift of portraiture for you and your family.  This gift is so important to create cherished heirlooms for generations to enjoy.

My second calling is to help empower other women to take control of their personal health.  To educate them about the importance of early vaccination for HPV and to give them hope that through strong faith and strong relationships ALL things are possible.

If you are involved with a women’s or church group and would like me to come speak - I would be honored by the opportunity to share my story.  Every time I have the opportunity to share my story - I pray that God will use me as a vessel to touch someone in a very special way.  This weekend that proved true in several incredible ways.  Email me at lori@lorigrice.com if you have an event or a group you would like me to share my story with.  The verses that have become very special to me are Exodus 3: 1-5.  Moses didn’t notice the bush because it was burning.  He noticed it because it was on fire and was not being consumed.  Whatever you may be going through right now…health–marriage–financial—whatever, you didn’t choose it but you were chosen for it and you will have the strength to get through it.  God promises to not give us more than we can handle.  I saw a cute little pillow once that said, “God said He won’t give us more than we can handle but I sure wish he wouldn’t trust me so much”!  I know I feel like that from time to time.  The tough part is not being “consumed” by whatever “fire” we go through.
