What's the Delay?!

Be strong and courageous.
Do not be terrified;
do not be discouraged,
for the LORD your God will
be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9

Life is full of twists and turns. No matter where you go or who you are with- there are going to be times that you loath the situation you are in.


So here I am school. Second year of university. Why am I here? That's a good question, one that I can only answer with, "God only knows". I have no idea what I want to do with me future . . . well, there is none that I feel passionately about. And I am still searching frantically for that God-given-talent that, as a child, we are all told we have.
I've seen people who's talent is public speaking.
People who's talent is music.
People who's talent is caring and loving, patience and support.
There are people who seem to have a God-given-talent in everything they do!
It is frustrating sometimes. And I can't help be envious of those people. I know that God will reveal his plan for me in his perfect time . . . but I'm not a patient girl!

Lauren, have you ever considered taking a year off and travelling the world?
And your God-given talent is flirting. Geesh. Everyone knows that. All you had to do was ask. As for the ppl that can do everything...sucks to them!
And you can chew gum and walk at the same time!

Lauren God has amazing things planned for you...and i know it seems to you that you don't have one but you do...i've seen it...and yes again not everything happens immediately when we ask for it...sometimes you just need to wait for Christmas to get what you asked for...that was lame...but may God guide you on your road

Lauren, a talent you failed to mention and one you most certainly have is being a true friend. You're there whenever someone needs, at that is something very rare in this world. Thank you for everything.

Lauren, Vince totally just took what I was going to say out of my mouth, and kinda muffin too! Whats with you guys. Lauren from what I know of you.... you are an amazing and compassionate person, and you care so much for the people you love. You are their rock. Its true! That my friend is a gift, a huge one! I love the qoute from Josh. 1! My friend sent that to me when I was in Holland. its true though, dont get discouraged, cause God is there! Check out another verse that is such a great comfort in times like these. (we all have them) Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord, Plands to prosper you and not to harm you, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE. So God will always be there! Praying for ya girl!
