Lauren's Story

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that! Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Hi Amanda
I hope this email finds you well.
I used both email addresses I had on file for you so I just copied both in above.
I hope you remember me from Therapeia - Lauren, the young english girl I've been meaning to email you for a while with a testimony about Gods greatness and how BrightStar was part of my journey in a huge way. I remember when we did module 3 at your house one weekend, you shared with us the story about your domestic worker and it really touched me so I felt it necessary to share my story with you.
When I did BrightStar 1 in Jan 2011, it came out there that a big portion of my lifes journey was that God would use me as a writer to impact women's lives and change how they see themselves and how they could rise up. It was quite a thing for me to see this at the time and I wondered how was God going to do this! As a little girl I dreamt of being a writer but gave up that dream thinking it was not Gods will but it actually was! So that day in BrightStar - God truly used you to dust off my dream - the dream duster hey! Anyhow I wont go in to what followed, it was a bumpy road but through the hard times of my life, I just wrote things and saw them published and impact but I sensed there was greater realities on the horizon soI quietly went about doing life.
In 2012 I fell quite ill and had a breakdown I was in bed for 6 months during that time God led me back to a story I had read in 2004. It was one of the apocrypha books of the BIble that was left out of the Bible about a young woman named Judit. The Bible story was a few pages long and all of a sudden God just took hold of me and I starting writing Judit's story in a novel format. Last year July, before my husband and I went on a missions trip to Ghana, God showed me a specific place to get in touch with and send my manuscript for publication. It was a scary step but cut a long story short, In March this year I signed a book publishing contract with Lux Verbi and they will be published Judit (in Afrikaans!) it is out July 2016. And I am already completing my second novel which they are looking at too. These are books with powerful messages for the women of God to arise in this final hour.
How amazing is God! BrightStar is a big part of my testimony, it was a reawakening for me and a course that God used powerfully to impact me! I shared a bit of this testimony over at a wonderful ministry here is the link if you want to read it My God Dream
Thank you guys for being vessels in Gods Hands and thanks Amanda for living your own God dream of being a dream duster in the Hands of the King!
I will let you know when the book's out!
Many blessings
