Welcome dobygillis!
As a general rule of thumb, do not accept OTA updates while rooted....it may bork things or fail completely.
Now, that being said, do you have a custom recovery such as TWRP?
If so, the OTA will probably fail...you may need to flash back to unrooted, take the OTA, then root with this:

based on this :

or......find a custom rom to flash that has the updates baked into it

Here is what I did to go from 10r to 20b Lollipop. Check your version of TWRP first. You can use TWRP manager free from the play store to upgrade TWRP.

Directions:
Must be rooted. Use PurpleDrake or the new LG root floatin' around.
Be sure you are using TWRP v2.8.6 or higher. YMMV with other versions. DOWNLOAD TWRP HERE
Be sure all apps/data have been backed up (Helium/Titanium Backup) if you plan on restoring apps.
Be sure to have an EFS backup. If you don't.. you can make an EFS backup in TWRP or using the directions in my thread.

1. D/L n' flash 4 zips: 20B BOOTLOADER zip, SYSTEM zip, MODEM zip and BOOT zip.
2. Do a factory reset in TWRP (Wipe > swipe)
3. Done.. reboot TWRP into Lollipop. Be ready to wait up to 5min on first boot.
