In 1993, NBC made a movie about her childhood called Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story. </p> <p>You will be on the edge of your seat hearing Lauren tell this action packed and emotional story of her miraculous rescue that only God could orchestrate. </p> <p>"But Zion said, 'The LORD has forsaken me and the LORD has forgotten me.' Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me." Isaiah 49:14-16</p> <p>Lauren's story so beautifully illustrates God's enormous love for us all that He gave everything to rescue us.</p> <p>Other Scripture references: </p> <p>Daniel 10:12</p> <p>Psalm 103</p> <p>Colossians 1:13</p> <p>John 10:27-28</p> <p>Isaiah 43:13</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Connect with Lauren:</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.laurenburns.net" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">laurenburns.org </a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@laurenburnsredeemed</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@laurenbredeemed</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@laurenburnsredeemed" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@laurenburnsredeemed</a></p> <p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1AmpJyzfh4P8OseFaZqZRB?si=4f4ddb85cae84d25" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Redeemed Podcast</a></p> <p>Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redeemed-podcast/id1741136389" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Redeemed Podcast</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Thank you to Project of Love for the beautiful music!</p> <p>Learn more at <a href="https://www.projectoflove.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">projectoflove.com</a>.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/meetmeinisaiah/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@meetmeinisaiah</a></p>
