1st Corinthians 10:31

This verse tells us "Whether you eat or drink or WHATEVER YOU DO, do it all for the glory of God."  This is the verse I basically live by.  I have it everywhere!  On my phone, over my bed, where I work, its everywhere!  I see it as a great reminder as to what we as Christians should be doing everyday!  Giving all of the glory to God , the one who gave us the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink and the life we live. 

Last year I had the hardest time not praising myself for the good things I did, but giving all the of the glory to God.  I soon realized that I wasn't getting anywhere in my walk with him by telling myself "good job, you didn't talk back to your Mom!".  Why give my sinful self a pat on the back for doing something good?  Why not thank the Lord for helping me through not sinning.  After all, he is the one who deserves it!  I don't deserve anything but his wrath and judgment.  

The last thing I want to get credit for the good things I do.  I want people to see God working through me, not me trying to be someone I am not.  My prayer today is this "God, help me to serve you with my whole heart, after all its yours!  My hopes, my dreams, my life... Its all yours God!"

New job

As some of you know I started a new job (Yay!)!  I am now part of the Alhambra Theater Crew!  I would like to say that I am staring in one of their big productions coming up (perhaps the King and I?).  But alas I am a hostess (No not those little cake things that you buy at the grocery store)!  Which, really, isn't a bad job!  Actually, I love it!  One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to watch the show when I am not doing anything.  Who knows, maybe I can learn something and eventually act in one of their plays!  

Ok, so I got a little off track (haha).  I am working with some really great people, the only downside is... is that most them (if not all of them) aren't Christians.  Now believe me, I was a little worried about this at first, being with Non-Christians was a little scary.  It is my first time working in the "real world".  But if you look at it from my point of view, I see this as my chance to hopefully spread the great news of Jesus to them.  I am just praying that God will allow this time in my life to grow in him and to see that as my chance to help some of these lost souls.

Till next time,

A little about me...

Welcome to my blog!  I know, it sounds cheesy... but just roll with me.  I created this blog because I need a place to write down my thoughts, dreams, and of course my Blessed and Crazy Life!  So here is my first post... a little about me... Enjoy!

I really want this post to be more than just the "Hi!  My name is Lauren!  I am 17!" kinda post.  I want it to be more in depth as to who I am and what I do.  I am 17 (as you could've already guessed), and I love the Lord God with ALL my heart.  I have a passion for the unborn and have been working on a petition for teens (if you would like to see it go here: http://frtlteenpetition.com/).  I think that LIFE is precious and we do not need to be wasting it.  I love photography and have a passion for capturing God's creation in all my photos, whether it be nature, people or anything!  Every Friday I will post my photo of the week!

Well it is time for me to say goodbye, I will be posting (hopefully) everyday.  So stick around and enjoy My Blessed and Crazy Life!
