So, I’ve been thinking. (Watch out, this could be dangerous!) A question was asked of me today that really got me thinking.
In one of my classes today we had to go around the room and state our names, where we’re from, what our major is, and what our life-long goal is. At first I didn’t think much of it; after all, we have to do this drill in nearly every class. Then I got to thinking about what my “life-long goal” really is. This is the very question that got me scratching my head…
“What is my life-long goal?”
Other people in the class had answers like “start my own business” and “travel around to other countries” and “continue on in med school” and I could tell that each one of them really was passionate about what they were saying. What is the one thing that I am really passionate about? What is something that really gets me excited? I have no idea! That is what is driving me crazy!
Now don’t get me wrong, I have things that I am passionate about. I want to graduate college, have a family with 2.5 children and a dog (or just a family… whatever), I want to raise a Christian family and live my life in a way that is pleasing to God, I would love to eventually do some mission work in a foreign country… I have big things that I want to accomplish in my life! I just don’t feel like I have that one goal that pushes me to want to work hard and pursue that goal. Is any of this making any sense?
Even after pondering this question all afternoon, I still don’t know what I would say my life-long goal is (so don’t get your hopes up that there is going to be this big spectacular life changing goal that I have set for myself at the end of this entry :)). I just feel like I need to start putting more confidence in myself and realizing that I can do big things, and to not be afraid to pursue them and set some high goals and high standards for myself!
So anyway, there is no real point to this entry… just some random thoughts from a day in the life of Lauren Cox.

I know that God has GREAT things in store for you! Keep praying about it and He will show you what it is. I know this is what you would expect a Mom to say :), but I know with God's help you can accomplish whatever it is that you decide to pursue in life. We are VERY proud of you!
