A tribute to… Kristin Lamb: “Kuteness we can believe in.” (*slogan by Laura Bower!)
1. Lives with an obvious sense of spiritual peace... John Bevere defined a “peacekeeper” as a person who compromises their beliefs to avoid conflict; while a “peacemaker” is a person who is willing to confront in order to have true peace. Kristin is a peacemaker!
2. Her 30th B-day Party was awesomely fabulous… complete with dinner at a fancy restaurant, casino night, watching 13 Going on 30 in a limo, and stopping at Krispy Kreme for dessert and dancing! =)
3. Very passionate about seeing our country restored to its Christian foundations and educating people about our nation’s true, un-revised history.
4. Good at boldly speaking the truth while maintaining an attitude of love.
5. Filled with Biblical wisdom and great discernment; she's given me helpful advice that really changed the way I thought on certain issues.
6. Defends the truth even when she has to stand alone in the midst of arrogant and often cruel opposition.
7. Encouraging and uplifting; helps others see themselves as God sees them and be confident in their identity in Christ!
8. Faith that I really admire! She knows and deeply believes the promises of God, regardless of emotions or circumstances.
9. Introduced me to the Lord of the Rings movies last year, which are packed with awesome spiritual parallels, and to White Christmas, which is just super fun!
10. Has a great, dry sense of humor and is always fun to hang out with!
11. Speaks with eloquence and passion… “When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.” (Prov. 31)
12. A few of my favorite K-Lamb stories: their scary night in Israel when God protected them; the crazy lady in the checkout line yelling at her; the "God pen;" her getting the full scholarship to ORU when everyone had doubted her; her mom telling her she looked like a homeless person lol; and their Michael Scott-like boss promising them a “special surprise” that turned out to be ice cream… :) Hilarious!
13. Desires excellence in the church and wants to make sure we, as Christians, represent Christ well in all areas - including the small details that most people overlook.
14. One of my favorite memories w/her is when we went to get pizza before our movie night at Dave’s house… I won’t go into detail here, but I will say I was really happy to realize we were on the same page! :)
15. Our trip to Austin – so much fun – and she introduced me to Wizard Academy, which was awesome! She was hilarious when we first saw our yellow Jeep rental… “Yeaaaaah, this was a bad idea.”
16. Really loves Twitter lately (because of all the awesome connections she’s made) and is making me think about getting another Twitter account…
17. She has been to Israel and Egypt and has some incredible stories of God’s protection during that trip!
18. During my NY Eve Pary, when there were different groups branching off and Kyle was dramatically acting out a charades scene during the Partini game and everyone was yelling different guesses, it was the funniest thing ever when she said with a totally straight face, “This is mass chaos.”
19. It was her idea to start the prayer group for our country, which is obviously in need of sincere prayer… she also introduced our LG to Billy and Nikki and encouraged us to faithfully pray for them and believe for God’s best in his life!
20. Servant’s heart… serves others and truly is not seeking anything in return.
21. Has an extremely tough work schedule and coworkers who strongly disagree with and mock her views, but she’s keeping the right attitude, and I definitely believe God knows she has the strength of character to stand strong, and He's using her as a light in the midst of the darkness.
22. She has been through several painful events in the last few months but has turned to God for healing, comfort, and strength rather than blaming Him or losing heart!
23. Lives with integrity and quiet joy and peace.

24. She’s actually met Joyce Meyer and Darlene Zschech (one of many of her funny stories) – which is totally awesome in my book!!
25. Genuinely believes that “Apathy is not an option! Not now. Not ever.” Yay, Kristin!! ❤
