In 2015, a serious car accident altered the course of her life. Multiple surgeries and extensive physical therapy followed, demanding both physical endurance and deep spiritual reliance. About a year later, she began experiencing recurring anaphylactic reactions and was eventually diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), a complex immune disorder triggered by environmental stressors. Because common classroom conditions could provoke severe reactions, returning to traditional teaching was no longer sustainable. 

Unable to return to the classroom, Lorrie revisited another lifelong love: writing. What began as personal reflection grew into a renewed calling to teach through the written word. For more than fifteen years, she has chosen one spiritual theme each year, studying it deeply in Scripture and applying one intentional life change each week. This disciplined pursuit of biblical truth forms the foundation of her message. 

Rather than ending her calling, this season refined it. Through limitation, she learned to trust God’s strength more fully, redefining normal and moving forward with faith instead of fear. 

Lorrie lives in Alba, Texas, where she continues to study, write, and encourage others to trust the power of God in every season of life.
