I was reading Oswald Chambers this morning and in short it was saying sometimes people needed to go through really tough times in order to find Jesus. That my role as a friend is not to step in and get in the way and alleviate a struggle that someone needs to do on their own. This really messes with my tendency to be sympathetic and play savior. It really goes against what I have been taught to do. I think it is a fine line between helping a brother/sister in need, versus robbing God of developing someone’s character. I say all this because I have a friend that is struggling with their identity and I want to jump in and solve it. I think at this point it is their journey to walk out alone. I will stand with them, yet not in their way.

Well after spending this past week in bed I am ready to get out, yet I am still coughing and throwing up in the morning. So I am resigned to do the healthy thing and laying low under the radar and drinking loads of Gatorade. Maybe I should try a new flavor! Well if you want to know what new good TV show’s are out just post me a note and I will let you know. As for Ryan, he has been awesome. He has been picking up the crap, puppy poop, and bringing me flowers and keeping a smile on my face. I have the best husband.
I miss all my friends in SOCAL hope you are all well and living life to the fullest.
Laterzz,
Laura

I never thought I would be married and pregnant living in Colorado, away from the beach, and have two puppies. I say all this because I never knew what God had in store for me, and it is so much better than I could have ever dreamed. I love being married to Ryan, I enjoy where we live, and I am enjoying the ministry were doing together.
Ok so the last 3 mornings I have had morning sickness.(PUKING) NO FUN at all!!! It is one of the joys of being pregro!!! We were able to see some pictures of the tiny little baby. We were both crying. It was such an amazing moment to experience.
There has never been anything like it for me. I just thought I am so glad that I waited on God to provide a husband and family, not to sound lame, but it is true. I was at the point in my life 2 years ago where I was thinking God had forgotten me, more like I had forgotten what He said! And just like God he is always there…

Just wanted to encourage you today. The coolest thing about serving the Lord is to know that HE choose you! He knows you can do it. He has faith in you to accomplish His will. I love knowing the fact that God is in control.
Thanks for supporting the ministry.
Bless you
Laura
