Hi there! My name is Kathleen Laurence. I’m a wife to Mark of 28 years and mother to five children. Life is fun.
I love to encounter the Lord through prayer, worship and the Word.
Since we were created to walk in close, daily fellowship with the Holy Spirit and move in his power to see God’s kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven, I’d love to encourage you along your way.
I’m excited to share stories with you as we journey alongside our Savior Jesus Christ together. And if you don’t know him yet, that’s okay. Use this as a place to discover him.
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” (2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV)
MY PRAYER FOR YOU
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.“
Ephesians 3:14-19 (NIV 1984)
INDELIBLE LOVE
What keeps you going? What have you found in life that is a constant source of stability, beauty, favor, faithfulness, joy, and love? Or better yet…who? Who have you found to be all those things? A couple weeks ago as I was waking up, a word dropped in my spirit. Indelible. Indelible. I knew it…

The sound of a living room full of 18-year-old boys playing round after round of a game is what’s within earshot tonight. Cheers of celebration, heartfelt laughing and friendly joking. For us as parents, it’s a time of transition in life. Transitioning into learning how to parent adult children. One out the house, one about…
Keep readingWORD FOR 2026 – SIMPLIFY
Simplify. It’s my word for 2026. We were challenged during a recent retreat to ask the Lord for a word for 2026. As soon as I had typed in our text thread, “I’m praying for my word for 2026!” it was as if it fell from the sky. I heard in my spirit the Lord…

With the new year having begun and so many promises of God that were released for 2023, what do we do when we begin to feel like it is all impossible? What do we do when we feel the funk? What do we do when we wake up feeling depressed, hopeless, sorrowful, apathetic and wanting…

IGNORANCE, REBELLION OR ESTRANGEMENT
If you are alienated from Christ perhaps it’s one of three things. Perhaps you’re ignorant to the truth of what Christ has done for you. Don’t be offended by the word ignorant. Ignorant simply means not knowing. If you don’t know, you don’t know. Perhaps the reason why you’re alienated from Christ is because of…

SERVANT LEADERSHIP
The Lord has been speaking a lot to me about servant leadership. Perhaps it will resonate with you as well. What does the bible have to say about being a leader? Let’s look at three things today. Humility. Submitting to God’s order. And gratitude. First off, we see Jesus addressing the multitude and his disciples…

PRAY. TALK TO JESUS. ASK FOR MORE.
The Bible says we have not because we ask not in James 4. If that’s the case, it sounds like an invitation to me. In Matthew, we see Jesus encouraging us to do just that. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to…
