I promised you a giveaway last time I wrote! So first up, I am giving the readers who are already subscribed three things: a painting, a Bible, and a necklace. These items are geared toward women, but since I have several male subscribers, I hope if you win, you will give them to a special girl or lady.
The painting is by my friend Suzanne Tullis. She gave it too me a very long time ago to give to you, and I have completely sat on it for absolutely no good reason. 🙂 You can follow her art page on facebook here: HeartWords by Suzanne. When she began painting, she started out with angels and churches but has since found her niche by painting custom dog portraits. So if you have a dog, would love to have a painting of your dog hanging in your home, all you have to do is contact her with a photo of your dog, and boom, she will paint it for you.
Here is the painting:
It says “All I want is to be together with you.”
The winner is Ruth Greer.
The Bible is “The Study Bible for Women” in Chocolate Genuine Leather, Holman Christian Standard version. I love this study Bible. It comes in print and in digital. And you can use it to join in to my thirty one day series coming in October, but I will tell you about this in just a minute.
The winner of this lovely Bible is Jen Shutt.
The necklace is by Dawn Sullivan of One Beautiful Life Jewelry. I bought it ages ago (read a few months ago) because the proceeds benefit The Lulu Tree, which is a non-profit organization I am involved in that helps mothers and their children in the slums of Katwe, Uganda. Gosh, several years ago now, it was right after I wrote the women’s retreat materials in 2011 that God just started repeating Uganda to me all the time. Eventually, I got connected to The Lulu Tree through my friend, Emily Wierenga. The leadership of this organization is the real deal with hearts devoted to God. I don’t know that I have contributed anything, but I have gained so much from being in the midst of these Spirit filled women, who depend on God for vision and growth of this ministry.
The winner of this necklace is mstroman15199@floopa.com.
Now, I have been reading two very wonderful books. One is called, “Wild in the Hollow.” Amber Haines’ writing is exquisite, and this book is her story of finding God and Home in her brokenness. The other one is “Simply Tuesday” by Emily Freeman. Emily is definitely one of my favorite Christian writers – I have read all of her books except the one for youth, and I own it. I am not sure I am like her, but her words speak to deep places in my heart as if we are soul sisters.
Because I love both of these books, I have decided to give away a copy of each of these books. This part of the giveaway is open everyone, not just subscribers. To enter, simply leave me a comment telling me how you are spending your Tuesday or how you’ve been touched by brokenness recently. Share the post and leave me a comment telling me you did and you get another entry into the giveaway. The giveaway will end by the end of the day Friday.
