I was at home alone, trying to figure out what I would do for money. GOD PLEASE. THE LAST THING I WANT TO RESORT TO IS GOING TO SEE GEORGE. I made a few phone calls, and wasn’t able to reach anyone. I rubbed my nose with the back of my arm, snot spreading across my sleeve. DAMNIT! I'D BETTER THINK QUICKLY, BEFORE I'M TOO SICK TO DO ANYTHING. THINK, LAURIE, THINK!!! I grabbed my head, pacing back and forth. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GOD. I CAN'T, I WONT. NOT HIM. The sun began to set. The sky was a deep blue violet, tinged with different shades of mauve ... such a contrast compared to my sick, black soul. I began crying, knowing the inevitable.… Read More

Topic: Anything is Possible Even though I hate watching whenever I speak (because I end of condemning myself) - the only reason I want to share this is because if it will help someone who is on drugs, struggling with addictions, prostitution etc. - I want them to know that they may have hope, in Jesus. To God be the glory.... always! =)  Read More

I am sorry that I have been SO CRAZY BUSY that I rarely have a chance to even check this site, let alone respond to comments. Please forgive me!!! Read More

What a blessing last night's outreach was. I pretty much expected it to be, considering what an annoying day I was having lol. I met with a young lady earlier in the day and while we were finishing up - I started getting another horrible migraine!!! I didn't think I'd be able to make it on outreach at all. But praise God, I had one last Imitrex left... So, our friends Richard and Elaine were coming up from San Diego to go out with us at midnight. Johnny and Lindsay made it to Hollywood at 11:30ish. Richard and Elaine made it in awesome time and we set out - 7-Eleven and Food-4-Less where we prayed. I texted one of the young ladies we have developed… Read More

Recently, I have had a number of people express interest in ministry to pimps and prostitutes. I sat down and wrote the following for those who are interested: People who would like to be involved with After Hours (ministry to pimps and prostitutes) should be prepared to be asked a number of somewhat personal questions... It is of the utmost importance that people who want to be a part of this type of ministry that you are actively involved and accountable to a home church and are WALKING IN SEXUAL PURITY. If you come out of a lifestyle of drugs, pornography, prostitution, or any other type of sexual immorality (that definitely includes sleeping… Read More

Wow. I'm still recovering from last night. Lol!!! Yesterday was a very long day/night. I went to lunch with a friend and she dropped me off at another friend's house we were proceeded to go all around town, last stop being Home Depot and then home right before everyone was coming over for pizza, gift bag's and prayer! Our time of prayer was such a blessing (as well as the food and fellowship of course). This is my own personal belief but it's my heart to do more than just go out on outreach/ministry. I believe for us to be a tighter knit group, or "family" that it is important to have fellowship (and food of course lol) so that we can get to… Read More

Last night's outreach was great... written by Johnny http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=172642754967&ref=mf because we have been going out on the track consistently for months now, many of the girls working the street either know us or at least have heard about us, so it is awesome to see the girls greet us - sometimes with hugs or excitement! Other times we are blessed to see a girl who would not say a word to us one week and the next time they smile and have conversation with us. As of now, we only have 6 people on our "team" who are somewhat consistent going on outreach every week. People have asked me for specific ways they can… Read More

Because last night's outreach was so amazing - I just had to write!!!!

Jen C wrote a blog about the outreach and it was great - I can totally relate as far as going out later goes and about migraines... When we used to go out at 3-6am - I used to get migraines all the time - almost every week! There were more than a few times where I'd be so sick, throwing up - right up until an hour before walking out the door. That just made me mad and more determined to hit the streets because as soon as I did, I'd feel better. There's just a little I want to… Read More
