To begin this blog off I will start with a defining story of who Lauren truly is.
On Sunday I was at Andres, my boyfriend's, house. There i found myself pouting my lips and getting upset about something childish. I stormed outside to his backyard where I saw my sanctuary from my annoyance- the hammock. I ran to this hammock and embraced it with all that I have ... and as I sat down ... the hammock that I had trusted in collapsed! The bar came tumbling down on my head and as I looked up, with the net wrapped around my body, to my man's face he picked me up out of the distorted mess that I had once trusted and held me as tears fell down my face.

This event brought me back to my relationship with God, my true savior. How many times do I get mad and annoyed with my God, run away from him to the safety of the "hammock" and embrace that other passion? This passion is not only going to break and fall down, but injure me. But the BEST thing of all is that my all powerful, lord of lords will be there to pick me up, clean me off, and heal all my wounds. Now I am NEW again. Thank you God for this blessing that I know I can always fall back into your arms!
