Greetings. Jeremiah 29: 11-13 NIV "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you, plans to give you hope and a future,. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. God Bless You!
I’m One of my favorite bible verses♥️♥️♥️
WHEW! THIS ONE RIGHT HERE!!!! THIS IS THE ONE! IT HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ON EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING!! THANK YOU!! AMEN!!!! 🙏
Lauren, I completely understand what you’re going through. I’m soon to be 42 & often feel so frustrated and sad about where I am in life. Not to say that my life is horrible but I know I can do better because I know better. I’ve been reading my Bible, praying and doing 3 day water fasting. I’ve tried the Daniel fast but it only lasted about 2weeks. I’m so glad you shared this testimony. I’m going to do the Daniel fast and complete it this time and allow God to order my steps like he’s been doing. It might get tough at times but I know where my help comes from. We have to trust in Jesus! 🙏🏾❤️ thank you again for sharing. God bless you!!!❤❤❤
Hey sis! I strongly encourage the Daniel fast, as it not only brings you peace but it allows the mind and body to be clear so that God may be able to speak to you in ways you never would've imagined. It was definitely not easy but it was worth it! Try it again and keep me posted. Remember God is faithful and He will bring you through. Praying for you.🤍
You are so welcome. Thank you for remembering my comment sis . I’m the one that left the comment on your last video. Crying as I’m writing this. Love you sis Hallelujah !!! The Lord is magnificent and worthy to be praised. In Jesus Christ Name Amen ❤💪🏾🙏🏽✝️

Lauren, my darling, NEVER apologize for what God speaks through you! I’m so happy that you’re embracing transparency, not only for your healing & growth, but to help others recognize in themselves a struggle they couldn’t pinpoint! I love watching your channel and have been for a while now! Your spirit & personality is contagious, you keep me laughing! Keep moving forward ladybug, you have not truly experienced the things God had for you!! Have a blessed day sweetheart and DON’T stop sharing our Heavenly Father with this world!! ♥️🙏🏽🥰
wow, wow, wow!! Thank you so much! This means everything to me! thank you!🥹🫶🏽
Hi Lauren,you are the second women I have watched in the last two days be vulnerable with their viewers,so life changing for the both of you.I am older than you both and listening two you both makes me see I need to make a lot of changes in my life now not later it is later than I think.I pray that what you are seeking will come to be .God Bless you and your family and stay safe.
Grateful that you were enlightened and I pray that you come out of whatever you're going through soon and know that there is no time like the present. God is faithful and He will see you through. love you.❤️
Lauren, Thank you for being so open, I feel like over the past few years anxiety and depression has really been running rapid in a lot of us, and I don’t know why? but yes praying definitely helps and journaling and taking time for ourselves helps. Keep taking care of you sis. Wishing you all the good the world has to offer you
Lauren thank you for being vulnerable with us. Most importantly thank you for being obedient. Your light definitely shines! Continue being you and He will continue to guide and bless you. This encouraged me very much. Thank you.
Heyyy Lauren ❤ I knew something was going on. I could feel it. I'm so glad you care about us enough to share this because we care and we're praying for your peace and better days. Depression is REAL; we all experience different levels of it... Continue to pray and get closer to GOD🙏🏾❤️
Definitely check on your ppl because not all of us can dig ourselves out of that hole. Like that lady who jumped off of the bridge into traffic yesterday; so sad. I'm just happy you're doing better.
Thank you so much! That was definitely sad. Praying for her family .❤️
Good for you for following your heart and going back to school. I too know the feeling of wanting to finish what I started. I graduated with my associates in business in 2014. When I was done I was tired but always said when I feel up to it I want to finish what I started. Right before the pandemic Sept 2019 I started back to school and took my time, went at my pace. 2021 my brother was murdered and I took a small break and got back to it. I didn’t graduate until Dec 2023. December 2023 walked across the stage, January 2024 I received my official transcript and started applying myself to promotions fr there. Feb 2024 was my 1st interview out of many but the one I knew I wanted. April 2024 started my promotion where I wanted. I too am in my 40’s. Just stick it out, things will fall in place. Good luck.
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. I know it had to be hard to push through but you did it !This is so inspirational! I'm proud of you as you should be too! Thank you for sharing💕
Your message was very powerful! Continued blessings to you! 💕
❤️🙏🏽
Hi Lauren! I hope sharing your thoughts and testimony has helped your healing. Thank you so much for trusting us with so many aspects of your life. Praying for you and for your renewed peace and strength. I hope going back to your studies will excite you so much! Sending you positive and healing vibes! 💜
God doesn’t bless no mess - you are so right and I needed to hear that at this moment. I recently also heard the following, “the miracle is in the management” - and he equips us with the mental and physical resources to do so - we just let other things and folks to get in the way. Let’s not fret about that - we may acknowledge it so we limit those things in the future - but nonetheless use it as fuel for marching differently going forward! Sending healing vibes to the tribe! 💜
Thank you for this encouragement and vulnerability. ❤I love watching your channel! I’ll be 33 in August and have been feeling similar for some time.
I'm praying for you sis. Everyday is a new day and a new chance to come out of it. You're not alone. Just take one day at a time and ask God to help. Stay encouraged! You got this! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lauren thank you for your kind words back,you have a very sweet caring way.I also love how you smile all the time and can laugh at yourself, be blessed.
Lauren - Thank you for your transparency. I am crying while I am writing this. I am excited to see you grow and prosper with the guidance of God. This video was for me… thank you.
The Daniel Fast yes I haven’t done it in years and I think it’s time. Wow God is so amazing I could cry right now. I really needed to hear your story. May God continue to bless you Lauren. You got me in tears. Glory to your name Father 🙌🏾! Thank you so much for sharing nothing but great things are coming your way. ❤
Lauren, thank you for opening up and baring your soul. Listening to you was something I needed to hear tonight. I’ve felt depressed so so many times and at this time I’m feeling this way again. You have given me the insight to seek the Lord more and to become his servant and walk in his footsteps faithfully. Also, to not procrastinate and get off my butt and do what I need to do. I watch your channel each week and enjoy your content. May God continue to bless you and with God he can do all things. Continued success to you!
Praise the Lord, Lauren! So proud of you for not shying away from giving God praise and for recognizing your need for Him. I love your decor style, but Sis, these posts are why God has you here on YT. My heart was encouraged by your testimony. Just remember that the race is not given to the swift nor the strong but to the one who endures to the end. Continue to persevere and give God praise in the journey, and He will be faithful to complete the work He has started in you. Thanks for your transparency - as you can see from the comments, this hit all of us and has challenged us to seek Him more, too.
🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you so much for this! I felt Him as I was reading your comment as He is in you as well! ((hugs)) Thank you!❤️
Hi Lauren! Thank you for your obedience in sharing. You truly helped and inspired me being that I find myself in the same circumstances and situations. It’s good to have someone who is able to pour into you and lift you up. You are very appreciated ❤
Thank you! As you don't know how you and others telling me that my story has blessed y'all - has blessed me! Stay encouraged sis! The best has yet to come!❤️
❤❤ Love this chat 👏👏 Hallelujah!!🙌 keep going girl 💪🎉.
Lauren, I truly appreciate you being transparent . I think a lot more people go through what you went through. I get every morning and start my day with God. I feel like I am in my isolation period. Sometimes, God has you in a period where you totally come to him. I know God got you. 🙏🏽 ❤
I agree! He puts you through tests so that you may have a testimony! ❤️
You have definitely inspired me! I’m really leaning into the Daniel Fast. I need clarity and healing within. Thank you so much for being open and honest- it helped me figure out which way to turn to self reflect. I just turned 56 and feels like I’m not living up to what God has me here for. I need to fast and talk with him to know my purpose. Again thank you, thank you, thank you! This video was right on time and I appreciate you💚
Wow! As you know I know this feeling all too well. God is an on time God! Keep me posted on how your fast goes! I'm praying for you! 🤍
@@LaurenAllure I sure will
Heyyy Beautiful Lauren!......
I appreciate your honesty and the uplifting words. This video seemed like it was made just for me and arrived right when I needed it most!🙏🏽
TSMFS, take care sis!🫶🏽
Awesome video!! Very insightful and knowledgable. Love you and this is an Amazing video!!! Thank you so much for being so authentic and vulnerable. You're Wonderful and wishing you the very best with your family and with your future!!!! YOU GOT THIS and I'm always there for you!!!♥
thank you so much!!!❤️
Hello Lauren, I hope you are well. I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed your conversation in this video. As much as I look forward to your videos I do believe I enjoyed this video the most. Please keep up the good work for you have encouraged me to look into taking some classes and I am 20 years older than you. Thank you, and keep up the good work❤️
Wow! I love this! Thank you for sharing! You got this! 💪🏽❤️
Omgeee the vulnerability!!!! 🤌🏽 I feel the same way about interior design vs interior decorating and taking on clients. I love interior styling/decorating and after seeing things on social media there is a BIG difference between the two. But good for you, thrive for your goals!!! Don’t let fear get the best of you.. you are taking the right steps. 😊
A BIG DIFFERENCE! Thank you so much!❤️❤️
Hi Lauren, very understandable of life journey and very glad to hear getting better and the direction you are headed in.
Understandable about your regular vlog schedule changing with kids being out of school and family time. Maybe a different schedule once they or you are back in school. And any schedule changes needed according to what works best for you.
I'm looking forward to your future content with wellness, school, family life, design, decor, make up, fashion, travel and etc. A heartfelt vlog. Thanks 🌼
Good on you for going back to continue developing your craft! ❤
I love these types of videos!! Honest , real and simply you ❤❤❤
Lauren I so appreciate you being transparent I'm to going through somethings I have been praying and try to give all to God but I do need to fast and pray to get delivered from bondage and past trauma from a toxic relationship it's been very emotional when crying out to God. So hope all goes well with you just know God is in control! Love you peace and blessings ❤
I've been there!!!!! Please know that you are in my prayers and God is a healer! When we give it to God we have to learn how to leave it there no matter how hard it can be. He wants to take our worries away and deliver us, we just have to trust him and lean not on our own understanding. I'm praying for you sis! You will break free in Jesus name! 🙏🏽
@@LaurenAllure thank you so much
Lauren, yes you are loved and appreciated. This message was right on time. Blessings to you always! 💚
You already know what it is sis! Love you! ❤️
@@LaurenAllurelove you too! 💚
Hey Lauren thanks for deciding to share this post, this was the message that I needed to hear.
Amazing! I'm so glad!
Hi Lauren, first and foremost I want to congratulate you for your bravery in being vulnerable and sharing what is so very personal to you with your followers. You spoke to me loud and clear and you had me in tears. I live in Miami, hoping you move here soon! I have watched Designing Miami, so I know exactly what you mean about being inspired. Sadly, I went to college for interior design and dropped out because I was a mom of two small ones and couldn’t keep up. I then went to real estate school, but didn’t take the time to actually take the test to become licensed. My dream was to flip houses as well. I was notorious for starting and never finishing just like you said. I am a Christian and have been a functioning depressed person myself for many years, but mask it very well in front of others. I felt you talking to me 😭 I would love to try the fasting diet you did. You look amazing and beautiful!!! So very PROUD of you!!! God is good all the time. He is a loving God and works things out for our good. God bless you Lauren!!! 🙏❤️🥰
"mask it very well" -this so me! Our stories are very similar! I hope that you take solace in knowing that you aren't alone in your feelings and if I can come out of it, you can too! Definitely do your research on the Daniel fast and ask God to direct your path. He is faithful and sometimes He's just waiting for us to seek Him first. Thank you for sharing your story. Remember you are strong, beautiful and resilient! You got this!! I'm praying for you!!❤️❤️
@@LaurenAllure Thank you so much for your kind and beautiful words. Yes, our paths are definitely very similar. You have inspired me and I have ordered some books and cook books on the Daniel fast. Going to start July 1st 🤗Your video spoke to me at the right time. Excited to see all that God is and will be doing in your life. You got this Lauren! ❤️❤️
Didn’t know there was a name to one of the things I’ve struggled with for decades: IMPOSTER SYNDROME! Thanks for being vulnerable and for sharing this gem with me!
You are so welcome! It's a REAL THING! ❤️
Love, love, love your honestly just know that the good Lord got you ALWAYS 🙏🏽 I was going through a low period where I hated my home I didn't entertain I didn't invite people over nothing. One day I found myself watching you tube and landed on your channel. Lauren because of you, you have shown me how to make my place beautiful. I now entertain and have dinner parties, everyone says my home looks like it belongs in a magazine my husband loves our home and tells me daily how proud he is. I do believe the good Lord guides us to where we need to be and I needed to be watching your channel, so thank you Lauren from the bottom of my heart for lighting a fire under me and letting me know I can do this just take baby steps. I'm currently working on the kitchen and when that's done my home will be finished.😊
Aaaw! Amazing! I love this! I’m sure it is stunning!! Congrats on pulling through and accomplishing what you set out to do! 🫶🏽
Hey sis I am the same way right now in my life! I beat myself up for starting my real estate journey and sitting on my license instead of being active, I also have been in my bible and learning that God dont bless the lazy , we have to show him we want what we ask for! I always said I would retire in Florida as well 😂 we need to connect and hold each other accountable sis and Get In Mode ❤You got this We got this !!
Hey Friend! Remember God is a God of mercy and grace. He wants to see us succeed hence why he frowns upon the lazy. What I've learned during in my fast is that it's up to us to recognize what we're doing wrong and to change it and God will handle the rest! Go get your blessings girl!! You got this!! 💪🏽❤️
@@LaurenAllure back at ya sis loved this authentic video please add more sit downs to your channel 🥰
Hey friend! This was a good video you should do more about the Daniel fast like what u ate, what books or scriptures u read, did u journal we need the deets! Bc we need to do it too sis! ❤
I discussed what I ate but I can definitely touch on my devotional time❤️
Hi Lauren, I appreciate your transparency and think that we as women go through and carry a lot especially when we’re wives, mothers, daughters,sisters, working women, stay at home women, whatever hat we may wear comes with a lot of responsibilities and sometimes it’s easy to loose focus and put our wellbeing on the back burner. You’re doing great!! I’m proud of you!! We can’t be whatever we are to others if we’re not 100% our best self. Get that quiet quality time alone and work on you and it’s ok to reprioritize things for where you are at that moment. Thanks again!
Thank you! 🙏🏽 ❤️
Thanks for sharing Lauren❤
It"s much appreciated. Sometimes it helps to know you"re not alone in how you feel.
🙏🏼 God"s blessings upon you and yours ❤
Same to you love ❤️
Lauren I so appreciate your transparency on this video. Your message is so timely for me. God has been speaking to me through so many ways and listening to you I guess He’s saying what more do I need to say…Your words have penetrated deeply within me and I know that I just have to completely give it all to him. Thank You!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽Amen! I love this! I’m so glad I was his vessel to encourage you! This has blessed me so thank you!! Whatever it is, just know that God is faithful and He’s just waiting on you! Stay diligent sis! Praying for you! 🙏🏽❤️
Lauren, it is incredibly brave of you to complete your education and chase your dreams! With GOD, you can and will do all that you set your mind to! Im so excited for you, and I can't wait to witness your journey as you achieve greatness! I know GOD is about to blow your mind, and your future is bright. Thank you for taking us on your journey, and when time gets tough, don't give up! You WILL reach your goals! P.S. I can't wait to see your daughter reach her hoop dreams! I know she is going to KILL IT when she gets to high-school and college!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 from your lips to God’s ears!! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate your realness. Hugs. I feel you sis. I totally feel and see you. Grateful to God for you and this video. Been going through. Currently going through and birthday is 7/20 and I feel like this is NOT 45. lol. God’s got you! 💜💜💜

We almost have the same exact, short term goals. I'm currently working on launching my home interior design business after putting if off for many years. Just finished all the legal aspect of setting up my business...LLC, contracts, bank account, and currently working on branding. Planning on opening before the end of the summer or sooner. Want to get started before the holidays. I am also planning on purchasing properties but not flipping, just rental properties. Good luck to you!!
Congratulations!! Wishing you all the success!!
