Lauren DeMoss Benson is the founder and author at thefulltimegirl.com. She dislikes early mornings, spiders, and folding laundry. She likes shoe shopping [or any type of shopping really], ice cream, texting, tweeting {@laurendemoss}, candy apples, and fancy hair products. She loves her husband, family, friends, and more than anything, Jesus.
Having grown up in a christian home, she knows the struggles of christian girls and the pull of the world on their hearts. She has experienced not only heartbreak, but also the miracle of God’s healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds. Her trials have led her to the feet of Jesus and by God’s grace, she knows the peace and love of a life given completely to Him. Most of all, she wants to let people know that they are not alone in their journey on the narrow road.
Through her writing, she desires to point people to Jesus, and encourage and inspire her generation and the next to be courageously and fully abandoned to their Savior. It is really all about Him.

Hello Lauren! I stopped by your blog yesterday (was referred by a friend) and I’ve been reading through your stuff. I’m particularly convicted by your post on modesty and bikinis. I’m a 19 year old believer who wears her two-piece at a pool and claims it’s no big deal but in my heart I know it’s to calm the fears I have that being a Christian is making me physically unattractive (God help me)
I won’t be displaying so much skin at the pool anymore. Thanks for allowing God use you to reach girls like me for me. Following your blog and your Twitter. 🙂
P.S your blog design is beautiful. Love it. Could you mail me your designer’s details? I’d like to get mine twerked. Thanks again!

Okay, so you know that weird moment where you stumble across someone’s blog, read a few posts, and automatically feel that tug in your heart that’s just saying, “Wow. This person is like my best friend that I’ve never met.” And then you go to look at their profile page and the first thing your eye catches is the phrase “she likes shoe shopping” and you just about die of a massive heart attack right there in your chair? Yes, that just happened to me. 🙂
Seriously, though, thank you so much for what you do! There is such a shortage of raw, honest blogs coming from young women who honestly just desire to love and follow God. I hope that you are strengthened daily in your walk with Him and are able to come alongside other girls as we all struggle to run this race with endurance, keeping our eyes on Him! God bless!

I will be recommending this site and blog to my oldest daughter. She will be 10 in a few days and is a definite “pre-teen”. I pray constantly for her virtue, purity and decision making skills and have been seeking wholesome role models for her. I fully believe that you are that!! As a mom with daughters, I thank you for being such a Christ centered woman who doesn’t fall victim to the trappings of this sinful world.

Lauren,
Thank you so much for being a godly voice to young women! I have a 16 yr old daughter and she is away from God right now. She lives with her mother and I don’t have to opportunity to be a constant influence in her life, but when I do get the chance, I encourage her in the things of God and I use many of the things you say as a way to speak with her.
Thank you for your help and know that your ministry in not in vain!

Lauren,
I have a 15 year old daughter that has bought the lie that she isn’t “enough” according to the world’s standards. I recently started following you on Twitter and added you to her followers as well 🙂 Last night I challenged her to read at least 2 of your articles here and realize it wasn’t just Mom telling her she really IS enough! Thank you for being the voice of truth for so many teens and young people. I know as a parent, we need more than just our own to drown out the noise of the world’s lies.
I commend you for speaking out for your Jesus!
God Bless!

You have already encouraged me so much just within the what the past 25 minutes(?) that I’ve been reading your blog and on Facebook. I relate to you completely, have the same kind of background, and I’m pretty sure if we met we would probably be bffs and go shopping together. Keep it up woman! Your writing is profound and resonates with truth. I am excited to actually see another rare creature out there who thinks like I do and loves Jesus too! It seems like we are going the way of the dinosaurs, but in today’s society they gain more sympathy than we do… I’ve failed in so many ways and I definitely haven’t been the perfect example I should be, but the key word of my life is “trying”… trying and praying that God will keep me out of all the mischief I tend to get myself in. Being 24 years old and single in my area is the equivalent to saying I have a catching skin condition or something to that effect! I’ve called myself the self-proclaimed baptist nun – until some guy makes it worth my time not to be. I actually kind of revel in the shock my beliefs cause in my community, it’s kinda entertaining. Anyway, love your thoughts, keep at it, and I praise God for the influence you are having! 🙂
