The Oak Project

Lauren is a new single mom at The Oak Project!  We are so glad she has become an incredible addition to our Oak Project family.  Here’s Lauren’s favorite retreat moments!

1. Florida was sooo awesome. Coasting on the wave runner like a super hero was even better. Keep in mind, I had to fall off a couple times to get it right (cough cough) but with much faith and by the grace of God I was able to accomplish and enjoy for the first time in my life riding the waves in the middle of the Gulf. I have not been able to do such health wise in my past or even given such a wonderful opportunity to experience something as cool. I was terrified a little at first but felt like Champion and still do at the end. Thank you sooo much for the opportunity -Lauren

2. Looking for sand crabs is definitely out of my nature. A little history I am terrified of most bugs and not to fond about animals or creatures that I don’t have a clue about. Well, my 3 year old son was excited and ready for the adventure. He had on his head flashlight, bucket and shovel at hand. Everyone was anxiously looking for the sand crab and so was my son. He was stopping every second digging sand not knowing really what we were actually looking for. Finally, somebody in the oak family found a sand crab. Jackson looked at it and voluntarily handed over his bucket and shovel at disbelief of what we were searching for. Talk about hilarious. “Curiousity killed the cat” in this instance and that was too cute. -Lauren
