I too, have found that a positive additute makes all the difference in this life. I've had people say that I'm wierd, however, they seem to ask me other questions anyway. Thanks for all you do. My ministry is to help women who have gotten caught up in abusive relationships to see what got them their and to become a survivor as myself with the Love of Jesus.

If he didn't, he should have. I emailed him a note about it. Maybe he'll read it. :) Lisa Hey Lauren, I wanted to ask you when you met Governor Huckabee at Singing In The Sun, did he invite you to be on his show? If he didn’t, he should have.

My journey has included serving full time on church staffs with my primary responsibility being as a worship pastor. 7 years ago, I found myself in an unfamiliar place. I was told I was no longer wanted and asked to resign my position immediately. As far as I knew, everything was fine up until that point. No other reason was given other than I wasn't wanted anymore. For the past 7 years, I have not been able to get to the point where I could ever put myself and family in that position again. So I have literally struggled daily with God's call and purpose on my life, not being able to have the courage to even pursue another ministry position. But God just won't let up. I am afraid that I have been hanging on to the things of this world for security and I know better. I walked away from my last ministry experience with so many questions. I have even sat in the floor crying to God asking why? It has been a long, hard road and I know that each day I am one day closer to getting through this. While I know that God is all I need, He uses people along our journeys to get us to where He wants us to be. I believe God has allowed our paths to cross through the means of the internet in order for me to hear and learn from you things that God wants to use in my own situation. Thank you for being transparent and real and willing to share. I know from experience how hard it is to share personal struggles and mistakes, especially when you have a ministry platform with so many high expectations. But as you probably already know, it really haelps someone like me to see and hear somone in your position relate personal stories of how God has brought you through the "night" times. Maybe one day, should God lead, I could once again be willing to open up and share my own story and help others as you have helped me. I pray that you and your family continue to be used mightily by God. Thanks again for your ministry. 20 years ago I surrendered to God’s call for ministry. 17 years ago I was ordained.

My favorite saying is from Rick Warren, You don't know God is all you need until God is all you have. God has been strong and used you most when you were at a low point in life as he does all of us. Great Job, great energy and wonderful message. I would love to have you do a concert for us in Warrenton VA. God bless you and your ministry. Wow, what a great book and group of songs.

My mom and I saw you in Seveirville last year for the first time. You seem like such a nice christian person. I was wondering if you could email me. I had a question. Thank you and God bless.

THANK YOU!!! Our personalities & paths appear to have some remarkable similarities. Until a few months ago, I think my mum was probably the only person who had ever seen me cry. (I'm getting better at it, too!!!). I've also had chronic fatigue & clung to many of the same passages of Scripture for dear life. At the moment, I am somewhat displaced & am finding it harder still when all the "Songs In The Night" that the Lord has used to help bring me through past trials are all in storage. I know that it is impossible for the Lord to forget me, but even that thought does my head in - it would be easier to think He'd forgotten me, than for Him to know I'm hurting & to leave me adrift. Anywhoosy, thanks for throwing me a lifeline this morning! Lotsa love, Hannah My, oh my, how I needed that this morning, Lauren! THANK YOU!!!
