so it's been like 5 months since i last posted...how odd.

college. what can i say? lots of work, lots of fun.
i love my new church family at castleberry. they are an amazing group of people.

i have been surprised by so many things lately that i'm not sure what to think anymore (haha).
life is full of surprises.

so how has your life been going? i'm always on facebook so if you're ever on just message me or leave me a comment or something. i usually write back pretty quickly. it's like my number one procrastination tool (haha).

ok well it's late and i have a weight training class in the morning so maybe i'll write more soon (in less than 5 months!).

3 lauren

I loved having my PE classes first thing in the morning. I usually had just barely enough time to get back to my dorm, shower, and get to my next class. :)

"Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound..."

at 05/28/09 4:29PM

It's been like 4 months since I last posted. A lot's been going on but I don't think all of you want to read a huge paragraph about what I've been doing...I'm on Facebook all the time though, so if you ever wanna know anything you could just get on there and ask.
But pretty much I'm getting ready to graduate next Friday...Yeah, everything's winding down for the year (and for good). I'm not sure how I feel completely. It's really a mixed emotions kinda thing.
I look back on the last four years and it sounds cliche'd but I'm like "where did it go?" I just can't believe that I'm almost done with high school and getting ready to move 4 hours away. But I'm really excited about the new opportunities that are going to open up, and I can't wait to meet my new church family.
In a way, this is kinda like a reset of my life. New 'home', new friends, new church...And to be honest, there are a few negative things in Baytown I'm VERY glad to be leaving behind. I won't have to worry about them anymore because I won't be around to worry about them, and that's actually a relief to me. But I'm definitely going to miss all the positives, like my friends (both at school AND church) and of course my family. But we'll just have to promise to stay in touch, okay? ^_^

So pretty much that's it for now. I get on pleonast a lot and read everyone's posts but I rarely make posts of my own anymore. But I decided that this would be an appropriate time to do this since this is a new beginning for me. If any of y'all wanna come to graduation feel free to get the info from me.

Rom 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

♥ XoXo ♥

exciting times for you Lauren! you'll have so much fun and I know you'll excel!

by rainout at 05/29/09 10:27AM
We are happy for you. But please understand that "negatives" exist in any and all circumstances, but it is the support of the people you love that bring you comfort. You'll face trials there, just as here. But always know where home is (the place where the strongest sense of support is found). And I pray that will always be found in good ole Baytown (well, the Pahos residence and Eastside anyway).

by emersonk78 at 05/29/09 1:29PM
Sommer and I know you will do GREAT in school and look forward to some good reports.

by emersonk78 at 05/29/09 1:30PM
growing up is bittersweet. part of Gods plan. you have such a big heart and i really look up to that. (:

by towelhead at 06/01/09 9:29PM
Good to see you Wednesday night! Have you cashed the check we sent for graduation? I will need to close out that account in a week or so. Thanks, Lauren!! How does it feel to be duly graduated? Your Gander days are over. What are you going to do now?

by maucknot at 06/20/09 12:28PM
Thanks for your sweet card. We love you too!

"When I grow up I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star..."

at 01/15/09 4:48PM

So the very last semester of highschool has just begun, and I'm still busy...
Actually I don't think there will ever be a time that I'm not busy. *haha*
But it's really starting to hit me that I'm about to graduate, move out of my house, go live with a stranger, and start college. I won't be going to Eastside. I won't get to see the people I normally see, or sit in the highschool class. And although I'm super excited about started this new section of my life, I'm definitely going to miss my home-church of 10 years.
I can tell that my posts for the next 5 months are going to follow the nostalgic trend...*sigh*
But life, even with all of the up's and down's lately, is grand. I'm trying to love every minute of it.
In good news, it wasn't as cold today as it has been. That was nice. I parked in the back of the school parking lot just so I'd have farther to walk. ^_^
I'm really craving Taco Bell, but they closed down the one by my house *saaaad*
Please pray for my...friend? I guess you could say. This person is a Christian, but is falling away from God. I care about this person so much, much more than they know, and so I'm super worried about the condition of their soul. So the prayers would be VERY appreciated. Thanks.

Today: smile at a stranger, give someone a random compliment, tell someone you love how you feel, pray to your Father, help someone out, read the Bible. I guarantee you, they're great pick-me-ups. ♥

where are you gonna be going?

by rainout at 01/15/09 5:25PM
you always amaze me. You're such a strong and sweet person. Where are you goin to school next year?

by rica5219 at 01/15/09 9:34PM
even though your talking about sad things the last sentence makes me smile. It still hasn't hit me that I am graduating but then again I haven't even applied for college yet. I am so far behind and I guess the big thing is..is that I don't care anymore about it. I don't really want to go to college or anything. I do hope that everything works out well for you. I miss you!

by cutiepie92190 at 01/15/09 9:38PM
We like Taco Bell's new double beef cheesy burrito. Hopefully, your senior year will conclude well.

by maucknot at 01/16/09 3:18PM
Thank you!! Love You too!! I prayed hard and have had one of the best days I've had in a whilee!! :)

by purdyinpink818 at 01/28/09 12:03AM
I will pray for your "friend". I have one in the same situation and we used to be pretty close, so i know it can be hard

by ambie_06 at 01/30/09 11:04PM
Tell her I'm glad she remembers!

by maucknot at 02/05/09 8:59AM
You got a mention in my post today :-)

by AlanL at 02/09/09 1:42PM
although i love the cold weather, it's nice to see someone enjoy the weather they like, even if it means walking a little further!

by adampual at 02/09/09 1:51PM

"Am I crazy or fallin' in love?"

at 11/02/08 8:48PM

It's been a while...I don't have much to say anymore.
All I know is that I find myself needing God more and more every day. He's pretty much the only "person" I can always depend on. He's never going to get tired of me bawling my eyes out and pouring out all of my feelings. He's never going to tell my secrets. If I hurt Him and ask for forgiveness, he won't hesitate to give it to me. He is my life, my all. Without Him, I don't even want to think about where I'd be right now. I'm not gonna lie, life has been kinda hard recently. And I haven't been the most joyful person. But I really am trying my best. I'm just not handling this very well. *sigh*
Ps 66:2 Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. But how can I sing for the glory of His name if I'm sad all the time? Exactly. So for all of y'all who just can't seem to get happy (myself included), remember this verse. In this morning's sermon, Mr. Emerson said something like, "It only takes people 2 minutes to see if you are truly passionate about God and what He can do for you." I wonder how many people have looked at me and thought, "She says she's a Christian, so why is she so unhappy? This whole God thing must not be that great or she'd be happier." I can't stop thinking about it. I'm going to try to be better, not only for others, but for myself as well.
Rom. 1:16-17 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith."

That IS a bummer! it will be special when you get to vote in the next election, though!!!

by melissakae at 11/02/08 10:44PM
You're so great!

by rica5219 at 11/03/08 12:39AM
you looked so CUTE in your costume Friday night! perfect!

by rainout at 11/03/08 9:38AM
I can so relate to your post, Lauren. I love you sweetie---such a pure heart.

by sheliandbrettsmom at 11/03/08 10:36PM
Hey, who do you have for English this year?

by crazyttuguy at 11/05/08 11:27PM

by purdyinpink818 at 12/01/08 9:33PM

"I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this..."

at 09/23/08 6:55PM

Our family got through the hurricane just fine. So many HUGE trees on our street, yet none of them fell. No water even close to our house. We were SO blessed. There are some that weren't so lucky. There's a list of people at our church who need help on his blog...Go check it out. Thank God if you're reading this, because it means you're alive. My grandma's doing great. She got out of the hospital last Wednesday, and she's just on a bunch of medication for her heart & her blood & such. So again we were VERY blessed with that. I'm so thankful.

That being said, I'd really like for y'all to pray for me right now. Someone I'm very close to is going through a HUGE rough patch, and it's starting to affect this person's family & myself. I'm very worried. Pray for this person as well. I don't want to give any details on this blog because it's kind of a private situation, and I don't want to tell everyone on the internet...But I'd really appreciate it if y'all would do that for us. Thanks.

The weather has been so gorgeous lately. It's actually not as horribly hot & humid as it has been, and I LOVE it.

Marching band practice started up again yesterday morning. We've already lost about 2 weeks, and it's only about 4 1/2 weeks until contest. Yikes! And we have a football game this Saturday in Katy. But we can pull it off (hopefully). ^_^ I have confidence in our band.

Welllll...I'm gonna jet. I SHOULD be reading Beowulf for English. But I haven't even started. Oh, procrastination...ha.

***1Pe 4:13 - "but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters:
16 but if a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name."***

*As humans, we all go through trials. As Christians, we sometimes go through more trials than most people. Sometimes we're "beaten down" by the world. We're tempted, we're ridiculed, we're teased, we're excluded. But we're also saved. IF we continue to serve God faithfully through these trials. And don't forget 1Pe 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers..."

♥ I love you. You know who you are. ♥

you're a very profound and mature girl. I'm proud of you!

by stevemartin at 09/23/08 9:06PM
Said a prayer for you and your friend.

by AlanL at 09/23/08 11:20PM
I will pray for you and your friend.
I never told you this but Lucky 7 was the CB handle of a good friend of mine back in the days of the Citizens band radio and I bowled on a team called the Lucky 7's over at the old Northsore bowling lanes.
one more thing...thank you for being a good example to the other kids and more especially my girls...

by i_wantobe_ready at 09/23/08 11:30PM

by emmywoo at 09/24/08 9:55AM
Trust in God. Things will work out. I'm here if you ever need anything. But, you should know that. Its just a reminder. :)

by towelhead at 09/25/08 5:42PM
Aww that's disappointing (that straight up does not look right!!) lol. I really am hopeful mccain gets elected. I know a few a few idiots who would vote for him just because of Palin ;-). Hey whatever works.... ;-)
