“All of us know deep down, what is loving actions and what is not love. Did you know this? Of course you did. This is why often people will say; “I got more love” in the bar, or the bowling alley, than I did at church. People know when they are accepted or not accepted, and we pretty much know when someone is putting us down, don’t we?
Many of us struggle with the difference between guilt and conviction, or God’s correction and condemnation. Conviction is the nagging indicator in our conscience, which says what we are doing is not up to God’s standards. Condemnation on the other hand, is a continual feeling of shame, and contains unbelief. With condemnation we fear we have run out of chances, and that like a building about to be torn down, there is no hope.”

I was that "unpopular" wierdo kid, that didn't fit in anywhere, in High School. I guess I never knew my place in life, until Jesus took me in. I've been rejected, misunderstood, left out, bullied, abused, scandalized, and labeled. In 2002 I got on a bus and left a marraige of sixteen years, that was fraught with abuse and heartache. In school, I used to be so afraid to stand in front of the class and speak, my hands woud visibily shake, and I could not look at my audience without being terrified.
Years later, I find myself leading a school music production, speaking in front of churches, and walking around with confidence, because I know the King of Kings is at my side.
My ministry, prayers and blogs are directed toward those who feel like they were never enough. You never fit in. You lacked confidence. My understanding of scripture was hard-won. I may not be the most theological person you ever met, but I am a daily studier of the word of God. I believe he wants to talk to you (and to me) and that your relationship with God is every bit as important to him and his relationship with some big-name minister. He cherishes you. My main thrust is evangalism to the lost, hope to the hurting, and revitalized love to those who thought they knew God, but someone cut in on them and told them they didn't.
If I can help you in any way, if you need a special speaker to speak hope to the hurting, or if you would like a copy of my Testimony book (Grace to the Rescue) let me know. I am here for you.
With Love, Laura
