This past week and weekend was really good. On Wednesday night, one of my dad's little friends got baptized at Jacob's Dream on the ACU campus. It was my first time to witness a baptism there. I really enjoy Jacob's Dream. It is a very sacred space where I feel the Spirit of the Lord. Then on Friday night our family got to spend some great time with two other couples that we always go out with on the weekends. It had been quite awhile since we had all gotten together. All of the families have been very busy this summer. One of the couples have a son that just got engaged and the other couple has had a family member diagnosed with cancer. So this summer has been filled with major life events. Throughout the summer, we usually all get together for dinner and then go to someone's home to play Chickenfoot on Friday nights. It is a fun time. I have really missed these people's presence in my life. It was so great to see them this week.
Then on Saturday night my parents best friends and two of my close friends came over for dinner. One of the aforementioned friends has just gotten back to the US after spending a year in Egypt. My other friend that came has just begun working on a Masters in Social Work. It was wonderful to reconnect and see what has been transpiring in their lives. I was so blessed to hear what the Lord has done in them and through them and how He is using them in the world. God has absolutely lavished my life with godly frienships -ones that will last a lifetime no matter where we all end up. I am thankful for the ways these great friends have shaped and sharpened my witness of Christ. I think the Lord knew exactly what He was doing when he brought these special people into my life. I praise Him for the gift of close friendship.
On Saturday, my family is heading to Branson, Mosouri for a week. I am getting excited. I have heard good things about Branson. I am looking forward to some good time with my family. All in all, the Lord has been so good.
About Me
- Lauren
- I am a young woman from West Texas who yearns to be a burning one for Jesus in this generation. Some of my passions include writing, intercessory prayer, worship, and encouragement. I am also passionate about living in the fullness that Jesus Christ died to make mine. I desire to assist God in bringing the restoration of all things into reality. I believe with every fiber of my being that complete restoration is possible -- in ALL THINGS! My prayer is that the Holy Spirit would use me to be a world-changer for the glory of one King. I want my life to be a display of the supernatural as I celebrate God's Presence and the fact that He is still in the business of miracles. I'm so thankful that this earthly journey is a process of learning to love Him more fully with the gift of each day. It is my prayer that anyone who visits this place will know that they are extravagantly loved and intricately known by a loving and living King!

Glad to hear you had a great fellowshipping with family and friends! I was blessed to see your sweet sister-in-law this weekend for just a few minutes. You and your family are just so precious to us and I am so thankful for the history our families have together. My only regret is that most updating was previously done through the 2 "stooges." So glad I get to stay in contact with you more now. Hope you have a blessed day.
PS I will be more than happy to give your blog a free "face-lift" if you were serious. (Not that it needs it..although it would give me great practice.)
