Still Lolo: A Spinning Propeller, a Horrific Accident, and a Family's Journey of Hope by Lauren Scruggs and the Scruggs family with Marcus Brotherton

December 3, 2011 is a night that Lauren (Lolo) will never forget. Nor will her family. Lolo was living her dream of creating her own job through LoLo Magazine. The unthinkable happened. She was hit by a plane propeller and lost an eye, hand, and there were other serious injuries. 

I love that she shares her innermost feelings and how she dealt with the changes that came into her life. In other words, she was transparent. Her LoLo magazine website is going strong. You can read more about her magazine here:  http://lolomag.com

Still Lolo is a perfect title for the book. Lauren is the same beautiful person inside and out. All of a sudden, she was in the spotlight and it wasn’t something that she was comfortable with. But, throughout her entire journey, she leaned on God and his promises. She had a wonderful support system and the world loved her! Her parents, sister, brother-in-law, and many friends were there for the entire family!

This story is one of hope. There is always hope. She has adapted or will continue to adapt to her new life. Lolo is still strong! She's shown here doing her push-ups. What's our excuse?

I truly believe that God is using her to reach others who have lost hope.  I recommend this book to anyone that thinks all hope is gone. It’s not. Read her book and be inspired. 

No matter what happens, God has a plan for our lives as stated in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (NIV)
