Life is always changing

2006-12-12T23:00:57Z

Hi,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Our lives have been dramatically changed this year first with the loss of my closest friend my Mom and the birth of our son Lincoln Cash..
I just wanted to say to those you have lost something you can never replace my heart goes out to you over this season. In the past few weeks I have been reminded clearly how important it is to give of yourself even when you are in pain! That there is freedom and comfort when you meet the needs of others around you that might be dealing with the same thing! I must say I miss my mom more than anything and how I long to hear her voice and smell her perfume.. (It is weird the things you desire when you can not have them..)

Yet I know that some day I will be meet her at the HUGE party in the sky!! There is HOPE that is eternal, never forget it!!

PS I LOVE BEING A MOM and I give PROP'S to my MOM

Jesus loves you

Can my stomach get any bigger?

2006-08-23T18:03:01Z

Hello,
I know I am not the first women to ask the question; How can my stomach get any larger? Yet I will continue to grow until the day of our babies arrival. This past month has been such a miracle watching Lincoln grow in my tummy. Some days it feels like an alien kicking and squirming all around my insides. I have to giggle.
During this process I have a new found passion for unborn babies. I pray for those babies. I pray that people will choose life. I know it is tough and there are many options available for women. Please choose life.
Blessings

You never know!

This last month my Mom passed away out of the blue. I have to trust that the LORD wanted her to be home with Him. I am saddened and my heart aches. My Mom was my best friend. We are taking things day by day. I wanted to Thank all the people that have supported us during this time and I am so touched by all the prayers.

Tell your parents how much you love them!! You never know when it is their time to go.

Also, check out this week's KOR Kast for a tribute to my mom.

Jesus loves you,

THE 1st Trimester is OVER!!!

I have been PUKE free for 1 entire week. Ryan and I are so thrilled. I have uncertainty of what the future holds, but I am certain God has it all under contol. It is such an amazing honor to be pregnant and I'm filled with anticipation. We find out in June the gender of our little baby and I am stoked to hear the news.
Jesus loves you,

Friend or Stumbling Block?

2006-03-26T00:47:24Z

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.

Sick of being Sick

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

What a blessing to be pregant!

2006-03-16T19:55:49Z

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
