Dilemma (Un)Solved.

Remember this post?


Yeah, that's not gonna work. My domain name choice happens to be the copyrighted or trademarked series of that precious TV show. I do love it. But I don't want to break laws I know nothing about.

I need a name for the domain. The bigger question is what will the ministry be called?


So I need your help.

Why do you read this blog? Some of you have heard me speak and that might be good for you to answer as well given that I am seeking the Lord to give me a name for what I do.

Lauren Biggs Ministries sounds....weird/awkward. And I don't want to have change the name someday (well, let me rephrase that...I want to change my name someday but not the website or ministry name)

Why all of this now? I am looking at investing in a graphic designer to rig me up a website.


please help. Comment or email. (don't make me beg, it's sooo unattractive...)


Thanks friends. You are awesome at life!

Updates and News.

Just some stuff--


1. My dear friend Andy is working diligently and putting his graphic design skills to good use as he works on the design for my website and blog. Pray for him as he seeks inspiration--I want women to feel welcome when they find the site! I am hoping that God will provide the finances and make the path straight to have the website up and running by the first of the year!! I covet your prayers toward this end as it is my desire to be able to minister to women all over the US and this will be the best way to connect with those looking for a speaker for their event.

2. I can now officially announce that I will be a part of Crossroads Worldwide's team to Arizona/Colorado in April of 2009! We will be ministering to the Navajo Nation, which is especially exciting as this particular group is a matriarchal society, which hopefully means I will be able to preach and lead in some ways I could not in other cultures. BUT BLOGGEROTSKY, I need your help! I am looking for creative ideas on how to raise the funds. For my Haiti trip I sent out support letters, and if it comes to that I can do it again, but I would really like to minister to women and share my heart for missions and raise money for the trip at the same time! So if you have suggestions, let me know asap....
Tiny "That Girl..." moment: They were having trouble filling the trip so I mentioned to Seth that he might want to pray about going. He kept asking me when, and I emailed him the dates, etc...Well, I didn't really check it over, I just knew I was supposed to go and signed up without really thinking about it. Today, I get an email from my sweet guy, and it says, "Lauren dear, I would love to go except it's over EASTER."
Can you just hear Ted Bessell saying "THAT GIRL"?
Welcome to his poor life...


3. I am not patient. I read on someone's blog today that it means that I think my time is more important than someone else's, which is a sign of pride. Pray that my pride will continue to die as I learn to have more patience.

And the winner is...

I still don't know.


how about

Let's face it. I am ...Thatgirl.

for better, for worse.

And that title means so much to me. Left to my own devices, I am that girl that says and does the wrong things. That girl that rarely gets it right. That girl that always puts her foot in her mouth.
"Did you hear about what that girl did the other night? She did this stupid dance in front of the

Aren't we all that girl sometimes?

but.

I am that girl Jesus loves. That girl that Jesus rescued from death.





I am this girl:


As he finished saying this, a local official appeared, bowed politely, and said, "My daughter has just now died. If you come and touch her, she will live." Jesus got up and went with him, his disciples following along.
Just then a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years slipped in from behind and lightly touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, "If I can just put a finger on his robe, I'll get well." Jesus turned—caught her at it. Then he reassured her: "Courage, daughter. You took a risk of faith, and now you're well." The woman was well from then on.

By now they had arrived at the house of the town official, and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and the neighbors bringing in casseroles. Jesus was abrupt: "Clear out! This girl isn't dead.

She's sleeping." They told him he didn't know what he was talking about. But when Jesus had gotten rid of the crowd, he went in, took the girl's hand, and pulled her to her feet—alive. The news was soon out, and traveled throughout the region. (Matthew 9, The Message)




I'm that girl, alright.


"Did you hear? Jesus brought that girl back from the dead!"



That girl that went from death to life...
you heard about her, didn't you?

You are too, ladies.


If you can think of another scripture for the Ministry's theme verse, lemme know, yo.
