On the 13th Day of CHRISTmas….the winners were announced!!!!

And the winners are…………

Do I feel like St. Nicholas or what?!?!? The big day is finally here and twelve of you will receive a wonderful gift from one of my sweet sisters from the Proverbs31 Ministries speaking team.

Thanks to all who left their comments. I really appreciate you making this a fun and creative series of posts. I simply LOVED reading all of the comments, at times crying and at others laughing ’til I snorted, and will certainly try some of the ideas and recipes you left. Yum!!!!

Please, if you are new to my site, I’d love for you to stop back by often and comment. I don’t always post Monday-Friday, but I try. My rule is to live my priorities, so if my time with God isn’t in order or my hubby or kiddos require my time, I don’t post. (So I guess if you hop on and I have been silent, you can pray for me!!!!!) But I PROMISE– (thanks for the reminder Stephenie) to tell the story soon of how God called us to downsize and sell our dream home on 8 acres of woods and move to a smaller house.

Thanks again, everyone. This was sooooooooo fun and really helped me to focus on giving at Christmas. Thanks to all of you who have emailed me to let me know you are praying about my husband and his coming job loss from General Motors. I will certainly keep you posted on what happens with our family. We are praying very hard that he gets a job locally so we don’t have to move three times in three years!!!
God bless you all and see you on Monday! (I still have a few more Christmas give aways up my sleeve so tune in!!!)

  1. Thanks so much for all this fun. I’m so glad to have come across your wonderful blog and enjoy reading all the posts. They are all so inspirational.
    God Bless and Have A Very Merry Christmas!!

  2. Hi Karen,
    I recently started reading your blog and love it. We also moved from our dream home in the woods four years ago. We moved back to exciting, expensive CA. We know we are to be here, but transition and trade-offs are common words in our house! I would love to hear your story!

  3. Thank you very much!! We started the 12 Days of Christmas yesterday with both families and both were VERY appreciative. I am excited to see how God uses this during this especially difficult time of year for them. Thank you for the wonderful idea!

    I look forward to listening to and sharing the CD on Facing Your Fears.

    Thank you!!!

    I’m so glad I’ve found your site! I can’t wait to read more testimonies. I just love hearing about what God is doing in the lives of families! Have a blessed day!

  5. Thanks Karen! This was really fun! I read Tracie’s blog all the time so I’m thrilled to have won her prize!

    Praying for you husband. My husband is employed by General Motor’s this side of the border and although we have heard no definite word yet, the situation is very uncertain. So thankful that the Lord knows what each day holds and we can trust Him. As I commit my husband’s employment to the Lord, I will remember to pray for you and your family as well.

    Can’t wait to hear your ‘moving’ story. God called us to give up our “dream home” on beautiful ravine property and downsize big-time 5 years ago. We live in a small home now on what my husband calls a ‘postage stamp’ lot, but we know we moved in obedience to God’s calling. I’ll have to share my story some day too! :o)

    Have a wonderful weekend. (I tried to add your blog to my bloglines, but I guess it’s not compatible with that program. Now I have to rely on my memory to check back in…oh well, I’ve been doing it for 12 days – hope it’s becoming a pattern!)

    Blessings,
    Joy
