The beauty of God’s timing and His plan even in the midst of a broken world will never fail to amaze me! This life is not our own, we aren’t owed another moment! We may feel like we are in control but it’s an illusion that the enemy uses to make us distance ourselves from needing our Heavenly Father! If the enemy can keep us distracted and focused on ourselves then we lose sight of all the good happening DESPITE the broken world! Love on the people around you, enjoy the season you are in, sit in the blessing of family and friends!!! In a world that pushes us into the next thing quicker than we can process, its easy to want to move on to the next thing (like why am I seeing Halloween and Christmas things when it’s still summer!!!!!! - and trust me I love the holidays but my goodness) I encourage you to BE STILL today and take note of all the blessings you have! Be thankful for the things you have and don’t stress over what you don’t have or can’t control! God is good 🤍

Wedding planning can feel overwhelming very quickly but seeing all the little details pull together is what keeps us going! If you’re not having fun, take a moment, reevaluate what’s important, simplify, delegate, and remind yourself it will all be worth it in the end!

How lucky are we to experience such deep and beautiful love? I’m not talking about just your spouse, but Jesus! He models for us perfect love! It doesn’t envy, cogent, boast, it’s patient, kind, it’s to value one more than yourself! Love is inconvenient! Love is HARD because it’s selfless! Love is tough conversations that lead to greater understanding! Love is so much more than a word! Here’s to celebrating marriages with such a deep and authentic love it’s hard to ignore!! Praise Jesus for your love story!

If it distracts us from seeing Jesus, leave it. If it keeps us from hearing his voice, seeing his face, experiencing his peace - IT IS NOT WORTH IT! What is there to gain if we lose our souls in the pursuit of worldly things! No amount of money, fame, jobs, labels, or praise is worth not knowing your creator!!! Whether it be music, tv shows, political views, finances, physical things, indulgences, hobbies, extreme love or hate of things - if it keeps you from Christs love it’s not worth perusing!

Here, we chase after Jesus! Though distractions come our way, we will not lose sight that we were out here to tell others that JESUS LOVES YOU! YOU ARE CREATED IN HIS IMAGE AND HE WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU! JESUS TOOK ON ALL SIN SO WE CAN ONE DAY BE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD! We believe Jesus transforms us and can take a marriage and turn it into an unstoppable team to spread this good news! If it sounds crazy - it is! To have a creator so intentional and with such deep love that he allows us to seek him despite the chaos of our fallen world is CRAZY! But he is in all things! Thank you Jesus for the promise of your grace! His grace and mercy is enough! The distractions will never be!

Praying for all our couples to be reminded or for the first time to experience such love and peace!

Doing a devotional with the husband about the power of words! Words can build, words can destroy! Simple words like thanks and help can radically change our lives! Words in marriage are so important for lasting communication! We should use our words gently and wisely to build our partner up and not tear down! The easy thing to do is to complain, the pick apart each other, to use those words to remind them of short comings! But evaluate the words you use towards your spouse, and try to use them to encourage and correct gently! Allow your words to be WORSHIP, GRATITUDE, ENCOURAGEMENT AND MORE!

Today I am thankful for GRACE that many have extended in this time as I figure out life as a mom, business owner, wife, and all the other things! I am thankful for family and friends being the best support system and showing up even tho I hate asking for help. I am thankful for Matthew being who he is and consistent and steadfast in all things. So many blessings all from the Lord. My prayer is I use my words wisely for all our brides not allowing anything that isn’t of the Lord to leave these lips!

Choose your words wisely! Allow them to build up others and yourself! Let them bring worship to the Lord!

On this day in 2019 .lori.sh was born, and trust me we shouldn’t be here today! It’s only by the good Lord that we are here! Here’s a quick summary in case you never knew how I started this venture🤍 swipe to see throwbacks!!!
•
2019 rolled in and I found out we (my sisters and I - 4 in college is brutal) couldn’t afford to go back to school so I’m the sadness of having to move out I decided to use this time to just try my hand in the wedding world solo! I had worked for different florist and planners as well as worked at a venue! So I told my new FIANCÉ and friends and family I was gonna do valentines to see if I wanted to actually do this on my own! I went with my dad to the court house filed for a license and thought what could go wrong?!? Classic last line before a humbling … highlights include:
•
Replacing all 4 tires from blowouts, new laptop cause it decided to just not turn on, new charger for it because night before I left it at work, balancing 2 other jobs trying to get flowers from places because the online place I ordered from sent me dead and not the right color flowers AS WELL AS THINGS JUST JOT SHOWING UP, a youth retreat that same weekend at my church internship, family chaotically trying to help me get supplies and flowers that never came, 1 hour of sleep, CAR THAT HAD NEW TIRES being repossessed, down 2 cars for my delivery and so much more. ..
•
I wish I could type it all out but it all started with a stubborn girl with a dream to succeed and family and friends who wouldn’t let her fail! My family stepped up and delivered like mad men with me, my friends stepped up and took over pickup orders, drove me to the airport, Matt helped me with my final order in Beaumont, ate some noodles, cried and then talked about how we were going to fix this!
•
We found a car on our drive back to be leaders at the DNOW weekend, realizing life was not going to be as smooth sailing as we thought. Made it out on the other side and I remember telling Matt how HORRID that was but could we do it again? And thus F.LORI.SH came to be! There’s so much more but just grateful for my people and husband and JESUS for making this chaos F.LORI.SH into beauty!

A beautiful sun shining day to remind me of Gods abundant blessings! ☀️ It’s so easy to fall into a spirit of complaining or comparison, especially when we buy into the lie that we deserve more than what is happening! Truth is we deserve nothing! God gives us grace and mercy! But we often find ourselves not content with the things we have, trapped in a cycle of wanting more, wanting change, insatiable attitude keeping us from the peace God has given us! The devil tries so hard to distract us from what God is doing and has done especially in a time where you are thriving! Often times I find my hardest battles being fought when I’m closest to Him! So here’s your reminder each day is a day to start FRESH! Each day is a GIFT! It’s not promised to us! Genuinely count each blessing and name them out loud! Keep your eyes on Jesus! Tell the enemy he can keep his sluggish Monday blues for someone else!

Today we let the SON shine on us and walk in the blessings of new mercies! Even when I failed yesterday, I wake up and start new! How beautiful is that?!
