So ready for season!!!!”

3. She Has Strong Faith

Lawrence’s faith is very important to her. She talked about it in this Instagram post. “In my bible study last night, we were discussing Hebrews and talked about the recurring message in the chapters. We talked about how it shows a great example of our fathers priesthood, and it shows his consistency in caring for us. The message was written not just to teach Christians, but to challenge and grow them in their faith. During this time, he’s still on the throne. He is still in control. He still provides. He still loves. He still has a plan.”

4. She’s A Former Athlete

Lawrence, like her husband, has an athletic background. She is a former soccer player, who got the chance to play in college. Lawrence talked about her journey with soccer in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Looking through the years I’ve played, there are so many good times. So many hard days. So many tears of both joy and hardship. I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to make me feel Loved and valued during all of this. Thank you to every person along the way who encouraged me and fought with me. Thank you to every teammate I’ve had, I cherish our memories forever. Thank you Anderson for making a home away from home for me. Thank you to all of my coaches who never stopped pushing me and believing in me.”

5. She Plays With Her Dog

Lawrence has a dog, whom she likes to play with. She shared this highlight reel of her pet on Instagram. Having a dog can make a positive impact on your life. Harvard Health reports, “There are many reasons why dogs are called humans' best friends: not only do they offer unparalleled companionship, but a growing body of research shows they also boost human health. Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”
