Well hello there! My name is Lauren. I'm an avid reader ("Having fun isn't hard,
if you have a library card"), thrifter (I blame my Dad for my love of all things
old ...and sorta junky), music junky ("Youtube, youtube where art thou
youtube?"), and aspiring writer (Translastion: I am a full time college student
but hey that doesn't sound quite so glamorous) I'm still trying to figure out
what I want to be when I grow up (ideas anyone?) what exactly I'm supposed to do
in this life. I may not know what my future holds but I do know Who holds my
future and in His hands I'll be okay:)
So enough about me, the reason for this blog is to tell you what my God has done in my life. You see for the longest time I walked through life with names plastered on me. Names I gave myself, names others gave me. They were my burden. They were my identity. After a while I couldn't give up these names even if I tried. I believed these lies so much that I became them. I believed that God had abandoned me, when in reality it wasn't him who abandoned, it was me.
He was there all along. But in my ignorance I couldn't see.
Still He offered me new names.
He gave me the name Treasured.
He gave me the name Cherished.
He gave me the name Beloved.
He is offering these names to you too.
Will you take another name darling?
That's the purpose of this blog, whether it be through fashion, music, or writing, I hope that one day you can conquer old names, and become something new.
