“Lord, you know me. You designed me and counted every hair on my head. You gave me gifts. Please reveal them and direct me to where you need me to be, doing what you need me to do. You’ve probably given me hints that I’ve missed; sorry about that. Please show me again where you would have me serve your kingdom. Send me where you need me the most. Amen.”
With my prayer in place, I waited for the reply, not quite sure what shape it may take. When His response began to unfold, I was stunned. No way did I think, under my own power, I could fulfill the mission He set out for me. My life and the lives of many others would never be the same.

About the Book
“I was entranced from the first page, and couldn’t put this book down! Lauren’s descriptive writing style and sense of humor combine to make this true story come to life and a must read. I felt like I was by her side through the entire journey.”

Stories from a Global Cowgirl
Asked to help a profoundly handicapped neighbor, a little girl sets her dolls aside and reluctantly performs caregiving tasks way beyond her years. After a variety of caregiving experiences and becoming a Christian many years later, she prays for guidance, for her gifts to be revealed, and where she’s meant to serve.
Mystified by a series of disturbing dreams and the events that follow, she sets out on a journey to put the puzzle pieces together. She finds herself in a surprising role that requires more sensitivity, empathy, strength, grit, and love than she could ever imagine. In the process, she learns about life and death and that she’s fulfilling a mission with impacts much wider than just her Mother and Father.
The author balances the facts of her discoveries with her unique sense of humor that reminds us we’re all flawed, human, and loved anyway. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and scratch your head.
