About Me

For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Loni is a mom of 12 children, two of which await for her in heaven and ten she homeschools (ages diapers to college). Married for 23 years, their life has been a journey of joys and sorrows, including a stillborn daughter, the death of a 16 year old son and a new baby at age 43. Here you will find excerpts from her blog, Finding JOY in the Morning, as she shares her daily life, struggles, triumphs, homeschooling, recipes and concerns that our children face. You may cry with her, laugh with her, but most of all she wants you to see Jesus shinning through her writings.

    The Love Story of Our Stillborn Daughter, Angela Hope

    "Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
    Look full in HIS wonderful face,
    and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, by the light of His glory and grace."

    ~ Helen Limmel ~
    Are there songs in your life, that take you back to a time and bring you back to a special, sometimes bittersweet time in your life? This is one of those songs for me.  This song was sung without any instruments, just the tearful yet hopeful voices of our family and friends at the funeral of our stillborn daughter at 36 weeks, nearly 10 years ago. To think, the first face she saw was not mine - it was Jesus'.  We could not understand why after spending 10 weeks in ICU with another daughter after her two open heart surgeries, that two weeks later our next child would be born still.  Our love story continues here . . .
