The year was 2003 and I was visiting my son (then a teenager). He had his first job but it was part time, and he didn’t make a lot of money. I saw these little snowmen on a sled (about 3 inches high) in this cool store in Detroit Lakes, MN.
I remember I exclaimed how cute they were, and that was a hard year for us as I had left his dad, he was alone without his mom….
He did this remarkable thing I have never forgotten…..
A package came…..(from him) at christmas..in it was the (gasp) snowmen and the little tobaggen. I have them (to this day) I can’t look at them without remember the love that shined out of Thomas ….(during a very dark time in his life)….
Now he’s a man…a minister, a leader..has a wife (and child) owns his own house. He’s a prayer warrior…more of a friend now than ‘a son” but he’ll always be my son even though he is primarily God’s son. And i have to think….If I being a mere human never forgot that extraordinary act of love….
How could we ever think God does not notice what his children do, for him?
Oh how his heart must smile, just thinking about us…..and the things we’ve done just to honor him……._Laura Grace

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
