Three years ago, the roles were reversed. I was laying in a hospital bed, anxious about a procedure on my throat. You were with me every step and made sure to calm me down when I was terrified to stay overnight in a hospital. As uncomfortable as sleeping in a hospital bed was, I didn’tContinue reading “My Punkin”

If I were to choose a word to best describe my life right now, it would be “change.” On the outside, and without disclosing a lot about my personal circumstances, this change may seem negative. But contrary to what people may think, I knew that each decision I made was carefully thought out and wouldContinue reading “My One Word”

Before we start warm ups for our volleyball game, one person from the team will lead a devotion. Tonight I had the privilege of leading devotions. I had a teammate comment on how she really liked it. She went so far as to say, “Lauren that was really good! You need to post that onContinue reading “Rise Up”

I’ve been participating in a Bible Study with some of my volleyball teammates since last year. Our first study this season is entitled “Get Out of Your Head.” I cannot emphasize how impactful this video series has been. We find ourselves thinking one negative thing, one lie from the Devil, and then we spiral outContinue reading “And Even If…”

A lot has happened since my last post. I’m back at college, back in volleyball season, and back to my “go go go” schedule. Despite the fast paced living and 17.5 credit hours, I am blessed to say I’m thriving. Sometimes people say they are “living their best life.” For me, I want to takeContinue reading “Raisin’ Praises”

Sunshine-direct sunlight unbroken by a cloud, especially over a comparatively large area Statistics show that it has rained the past 8 Monday’s in a row here in Jackson. Kinda funny in my opinion. Seems like with the pandemic that there’s a correlation between that and the rain we feel that is destroying our lives. Only…isn’tContinue reading “Sunshine and Son Shine”

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I feel like I get inspired to write, but then it just leaves me. And I don’t want to write unless I believe God is telling me something… something worth sharing. So as I sit here thinking, typing, hands shaking, I know the Holy Spirit is working within meContinue reading “On the Pursuit of Others”

Tattoos…there’s differing opinions on them. What could you possibly want on your body that will be there forever? What if your job won’t let you have them? Whatever your personal opinion may be, hear me out. What if a tattoo opened up doors to share Jesus with people? The artist in me loves my tattooContinue reading “An Opportunity to Share”

In some way or another, we all experience hardships. Whether we’re sick, experienced loss, or trying to be there for someone who’s hurting, we have to learn how to navigate these waters. Each of us have a story. And sometimes these stories are dark… or at least they have dark moments. I’ve had a fewContinue reading “God Teaches in the Hardships”

Last year I had the privilege of attending the Passion Conference 2019. Passion is a Christian conference for college aged students, but high school seniors are allowed to attend as well. I got word of the conference and ended up going with a local church. Little did I know the life change Christ was planning.Continue reading “Passion”
