 I'm so glad you are here! Thanks for popping in, I hope to get a chance to "meet" you too. (I try to visit the blog and respond to every comment.) I'm Laura and have been married for 10 years, have 3 kids, two of who are adopted, am a missionary to college students and love teaching God's Word (which I get to do 8-20 times a year). I started blogging in 2009 a couple times a month-ish but the Lord led me to put more time into it as a ministry about a year ago. I love it! What an incredible privilege to minister to people all across the globe from my living room fitting around my schedule. This link gives a glimpse into what my family and ministry look like.  So here's a little bit about Beholding Glory. Every Friday I host a blog party on my home page-Devotional. It's a place to link up any post that ties into your faith in Jesus somehow. So why not head on over today?  I write in 3 categories: They are two things I'm passionate about, God's Word and character and mobilizing laborers for the expansion of His kingdom. The third category, Just Thinkin, is my processing outlet. Here's some examples of what you'll find in each category. 1. God-DevotionalAnd series like these:
This is my next series. It's gonna be AWESOME!!! I'm going to talk about crazy things in creation and how they reveal a part of God's heart and character. Did you know there is a worm that glows and catches flying insects? And did you know that sound vibrations is what gives snowflakes their shape, which totally makes sense since the Lord spoke it all into existence. You wont want to miss this series!  So why not subscribe so you don't miss anything? And if you subscribe I'm giving away a FREE copy of the Life Purpose Plan; discovering how your uniqueness, current reality and the mission fit together for the glory of God.

So that's Beholding Glory in a nut shell. I hope you'll connect with me on facebook and twitter and have a fun time at the party!!
Before you head off to meet some other great bloggers, check out my Bible study available as a workbook or ebook.
Beholding Him, Becoming Missional
Here's what some people say about it.
"If you love Beth Moore, you'll love Krokos"
"I have met few women with the influence that Laura has with women. She is a leader of leaders, and that comes from a deep, personal relationship with the Lord.” Jennifer Grant
“Laura Krokos has succeeded in writing a study that causes the reader to interact with the Word of God-and beyond a superficial level!-and to be motivated to change." Elizabeth Smith
"Beholding Him, Becoming Missional by Laura Krokos will woo you, coax you, call you into a deeper relationship with Christ, and a more meaningful and fulfilling life as well. I would like to see this excellent study become required reading for every young woman contemplating her purpose on this planet." Kathi Macias Award-winning author of more than 30 books
"There are a lot of wonderful Bible studies out there but Laura has put her finger on the one thing that's neglected. Here is a study of Scripture with one eye on the text and the other on mission, a passion to follow Christ and where he's going. In focusing on a text or book of the Bible the broader missional context and impulse of Scripture is often ignored. Laura has managed to combine in this study the benefits of both biblical and systematic study of the Word." Rick James, Publisher CruPress and author of many books.

Thanks for a fun visit for the Ultimate Blog Party 2012. I was especially intrigued by you upcoming series. I love to do fun and encouraging Bible Memory Verses series for children that I use with my grandkids at SandwichINK AND I love to discover great resources for them at other sites and this one sounds great. See you soon.

Gorgeous blog. Did you design it yourself?
Like the Bible study section and will be back to read more. Just added you to my reader. Nice to meet you!
Thank you Kerry!
Yes, but my host, weebly is super duper easy. All I do is drag and drop stuff where I want it. And most things are pictures with links. I love them, they make a super not techie feel like they totally know what their doing. :)
You're blog is awesome! So many helpful resources! Thanks for making those available!

Hi, I'm a new follower from the Ultimate Blog Party. I'm enjoying looking around your blog, stop by and say Hi if you get some time. #UBP12
I have really enjoyed your blog it's been really encouraging to me. My husband and I just started mentoring a group of teenage girls and while I'm excited about this calling I'm also just a tag bit nervous to be honest. I've found so much encouragement on your blog though.

I don't spend nearly enough time over here. I see your smiling face at The Gypsy Mama each week and now at the UBP. We have so much in common especially on being purposeful for Christ and living a missional life. I love that God allowed you to post more often. He is in the process of opening those doors for me as well. Now I'm struggling because I've never "worked from home" though it's not truly work but it takes being intentional and planning ahead and figuring out a lot of things (kids and make ahead food) I haven't had to consider before starting a ministry to women through blogging. Anyhow, we could probably chat for hours. :) I'll subscribe and hopefully we'll get to know each other better. I'm happy to have re found you.
Oh so true about having to be intentional. I have found that about my relationship with God more so with little ones than ever.
You sure have a lot on your plate with 5 little ones and writing a book, wow! I bet it's neat seeing God's grace be sufficient for you. For it's not really until we step out into the uncomfortable that we get to see Him show off. :)
