Today, my daughter, Lauren, celebrates her 24th birthday. I’ve already introduced you to her many times—I just know that you would love her, too. She is so full of life and is a joy to those who know her. She is beautiful, quick witted, and intense. She has a heart as big as the state from which she hails, and cares more about everything than most people I know. This week, she is moving home from her job internship in Florida and will be home for about a month before she moves to England to go to graduate school.
I ask your prayers for her as she starts a new journey in her life for God’s Hand to be all over her and draw her to the center of His Will. There are so many exciting things ahead for her and for this mom who can’t wait for her to be home on Saturday!
Happy Birthday, my sweet Lauren! You capture my heart. May this year abound in much joy, good health, and His peace. Love you so, Mom
Oh, go ahead. Splurge a little!

Awww! She posted a comment! We love Lauren even though we have never seen her but we believe she exists. Actually, the girl is full of life, isn’t she? What a beautiful girl who has made her mom so happy to have! Do you just pinch yourself sometimes thinking about the children God gave you??? For Him to entrust us with these little lives…like whoa! Taking a break from packing and instead of turning on the Olympics, I’m reading your blog!
Heya,
Thanks for the kind birthday wishes. Yesterday was GREAT.
Much Love,
Lauren
