Jumping In

The first week is done and we're now jumping right into projects. Since I'm part of Production Management I get to help everyone else with their projects. It's so much fun to have a view of everyone's world and all of the time and effort that goes into producing even one piece. There is such a buzz of excitement and busyness in our "office" space. There are so many fun terms here and acronyms for everything. I technically work in the "fishbowl" at "the desk". Everyone else works in the "bullpens" or the "vault". My roommates are still not feeling well so healing prayers are really needed. Love you all! :)


Romans 12:10-11

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."

Safe and Sound in Texas

Well I've made it to Texas. What an adventure! I've gotten to meet all of my funny roommates and there is even another red head that is rooming with me. :) Unfortunately I'm the only person from Oregon here but I've heard that there are three more coming in January! A little something to look forward to. Today has been packed with morning work outs, worship sessions, classes, the laying down of the rules. =P I feel like I have so much floating through my brain that I need a few days just to think about it. But they're not slowing down so neither will I. I'm really excited though that they are pushing so hard, I can't wait to see what the media program is like! Thank you all for your prayers, I definitely felt them on the flight over and I will continue to rely on them to help me through the next little while. Be on the look out for my new address so that we can exchange letters sometime. I love getting to hear from everyone back home! :)


Today's classes were about sacrificing so that Christ can use us in order to radically change our generation.

Galatians 2:20 " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

A Wonderful Church Family

What a wonderful last Sunday at OCEC. So many wonderful people praying together over me, I have never felt closer to my church body. :) Thank you to everyone that was there I felt everyone's prayers and now I feel ready to take on the world, or at least move to a very different state.



1 Thessalonians 3:9

"How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?"

Hey Everyone! :)

Hi and thanks for checking out my blog. This year God has called me to embark on a journey to Texas to study at a discipleship called The Honor Academy. I am so excited to grow my foundation, faith, and friendships as I spend one full year here. There is So much to prepare for and I am thrilled to share my adventures with you. I would love to hear from you too; what you're doing, how God is working in your life, and how the weather is back in Oregon. =P As brothers and sisters in Christ we are called to lift each other up in prayer; I will always keep you in my prayers and hope you will do the same for me.

In Christ's Amazing Love,
Lauren

Colossians 1:9-14

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
