Hi, my name is Lauren and I live in Lubbock, Texas. My husband and I have been married for six years. We have a son, Jensen Brooks, who lives in heaven. Jensen was born into the arms of Jesus a day before his due date in May 2024. We also have a daughter who lives at home with us. In my free time, I enjoy being outside, finding new coffee shops, traveling, and spending time with my family.  I am a college professor, and I am passionate about teaching a variety of subjects. I have gone through the Advent Rest study twice with fellow Hope mamas, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this study during an extra difficult time as we grieve our Hope babies during the holidays.
