My pastor, Matt Chandler, has mentioned how we can go from living a “normal” laughter-filled day, to receving a phone call that will bring us to our knees, crying, and broken within seconds.

I had the joy of shooting the photos of my coworkers’ wedding. Chris and K.C. Thompson. It was a small family affair- but that’s sorta contradictory, because they have 5 kids combined, which makes up their beautiful family! You can view the photos on my website www.laurenallenphotography.com and click on “order photos” and click on […]

They’ve always said “The truth shall set you free” and it’s true… Matt Chandler, head pastor at The Village Church, spoke a very powerful message this evening. He ended with LUKE 6:46-49 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 I will show you what he is like […]

I was dumping my salad into a To-Go box last night when suddenly, I was taken back to when I was a little girl at the age of 9. I was playing on the church playground where was I attending “Vacation Bible School” that summer. After running around with a few of the kids, I […]

My Bible study girls and I are doing a book study on “Falling for God-Saying Yes to His Extravigant Proposal” by Gary W. Moon.  Falling in love is one of life’s greatest joys.
