One of the things that I absolutely love about my ministry the when I have the opportunity to talk to amazing Christian women and hear their stories. When I talked to Laura McCollough, I knew immediately a few things about her:
- She loves the Lord
- She is incredibly talented
- God is blessing her to impact the lives of others
When we talked, I felt like I was sitting down with a friend just chatting over coffee. She is warm and inviting and has incredible enthusiasm for her business, but most importantly, Jesus.
Before you watch the interview (and enter to win one of two great giveaways she has provided!), read a bit about her then grab a cup of your favorite beverage and sit down with us for a chat. (Where to find Laura and the giveaway are at the bottom of this page)
About Laura McCollough
I grew up reading lots and lots of books. Books gave me a sense of adventure and lead me to different worlds without having to get on a plane. I hate to fly. So I never imagined my life as an adult would be traveling around the world and hosting creative retreats in far away places. But the Lord has a sense of humor and when we allow Him to work in our lives, He usually stretches us in the areas we need stretching in.
About 15 years ago my husband sold his business and we decided to do something crazy… we took a year off to travel the world with our two young daughters! It was an incredible adventure (on lots of planes, trains and automobiles) and such precious time in our families life. I believe it opened up a door to opportunities the Lord wanted to show us in this big world we live in.
I have a PASSION for Bible Journaling, blogging and recording our memories in all kinds of ways. I love to create, I love the process of creating, and I truly love teaching others how to make that connection between art and faith. I’ve worked with scrapbook and mixed-media companies and local art stores for many years. I love that the Lord has blended all of my creative passions together to show me how to use them for His glory. I really believe the desires of our heart come from Him and when we allow Him to work in and through them, it all makes sense.
This past summer we felt the Lord stirring our hearts to something again. Something way bigger than us. So we have stepped out in faith and He has opened the doors and gone before us in amazing ways. I’d love to share our journey with you as we build a “gathering place” and home in Colorado, for His purposes. Side Note: When you open yourself up to God sized dreams… watch out!
When I’m not working I enjoy cooking, listening to music, laughing… a lot, taking way too many photos of our family and dog, and spending time with family and friends.

I would definitely choose a retreat in France. It’s incredibly beautiful and maybe my three years of high school French might actually come in handy!! 🙂
France is beautiful! Good choice!
I would love to go on the Italy retreat. I got to visit Italy in high school and fell in love with it. It’s such a beautiful country. My daughter would love to go and the craft retreat with me.
Oooh! Italy is on my “bucket list”! Good choice!
I’m not sure that I’d prefer one over the other. I know I can’t afford either one, but I can journal from home.
They both sound wonderful, though, don’t they? One day, I’d like to attend one of her retreats 🙂
I would choose Italy because it’s always been a dream of mine to visit there
Mine, too! It’s on my “bucket list”! One day… 🙂
I’d go to Italy as I’ve never been there. Can’t at moment due to commitments but maybe one day.
Italy is on my list, too! One day 🙂
We love to go on disney cruise but i would love to take our newborn 8 mo daughter to disney world! Visiting the bahamas again would be a dream! But if it were a mommy only trip, I’m going to my homeland Korea!
Those are great! Of Laura’s retreats, where would you choose if you could go to any of them? 🙂
I would love to go to the Bellagio, Italy retreat. I think the setting would give such a positive feeling & enhance the retreat. I’ve always wanted to travel to Italy because it seems so pure & beautiful. Also being part Italian, I have the desire to see the Italian culture first hand.
I vote Italy, too! It would be so cool for you to go having an Italian heritage! Thank you for stopping by!
I have no idea because I have never traveled.
It’s always fun to dream, though! Thank you for stopping by!
