Hello everybody,

My name is Lauren. I am 31 years old. I was born and raised in Quincy, IL, and have lived there all of my life except for college and a couple years in St. Louis.

  • I value authentic, meaningful relationships and honest conversations.
  • Quality time is one of my love languages.
  • Coffee is my elixir of life.
  • I have two cats, Oliver and Ellie.
  • Being an Aunt is one of the best titles I have ever been given.
  • I love to Create.
  • Lately, God has been teaching me a lot about actively waiting and the joys of obedience.

As most of you can guess by finding this page… I am going on the World Race! I am beyond excited for this next chapter in my life.  This adventure has been pressing on my heart for a long time, and I am so grateful that God has whispered in my heart “GO” and chosen to use someone unworthy like me to declare His glory among the nations.

I am excited for what God is placing in front of me, and I look forward to trying to express my thoughts and challenges through this blog. I humbly ask you to consider partnering with me, whether financially or prayerfully. No donation or prayer is too small.

I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity!

-Lauren
