  Here it is, my first giveaway!  The prize is the first volume of the Elsie Dinsmore Series (in my opinion, one of the best book series that a young woman could ever read! ) This book and the rest of the series has been a great influence in my walk with God and I very much encourage you to read it. You may enter your name three times at the most, but if you do a entry about my giveaway on your blog then I will add your name an extra time!  I would say that the best age range for this book would be from around thirteen to…well all the way up! I still enjoy reading this series. It’s especially great for history lovers. 

 

The giveaway starts today - All day Sunday, April 20th. I will choose the winner sometime Monday afternoon. So enter now! 

                                                          

 Enter the Character-building, Nineteenth-century, Christ-centered world of Martha Finley’s Elsie Dinsmore.

After reading this family story you will understand why it was once the nation’s best seller for over thirty years(selling over twenty-five million copies) and still has lasting value for today’s reader of Christ-like role models.

 

“Be ready to laugh, cry, and learn with Elsie as she lives her life on a Ninteenth-century plantation surrounded by family members who do not serve the Lord.”

Ultrasound Picture! April 12, 2008

In my post about the ultrasound, I wrote that I wished that I was able to show you the ultrasound picture of the new baby doing a head stand. Well, I forgot that we had a photo scanner! It’s a little bit hard to see, but I was able to scan the photo, so here it is! His head is down at the bottom.

 

Is it breakfast, or dinner? April 10, 2008

This evening we had a very simple, but nice dinner. Mom made waffles!  Breakfast food is probably my most favorite food to eat (except for ice cream!) so tonight was right up my alley ! They were a nice change, although I almost always enjoy whatever my Mom makes. John had chocolate chips in his, the rest of us had some with blueberry filling on top and  some with just plain butter and maple syrup. Yummm! They were also very simple to make, because the mix was from a box . They tasted homemade though.

Ultrasound Last Night! April 9, 2008

It’s a…………Well, it looks like it’s a boy!  The lady doing the ultrasound at Care Net said she was about 70% sure, but Mom says that she’s about 100% sure . So much for everyone thinking that it was going to be a girl all this time. Mom and I are still in a little bit of shock . We were so convinced that it was going to be a girl. I wish that I could show you the pictures. There’s one showing that he’s doing a head stand .  As far as we know everything it perfectly normal and going the way it should be. Thank the Lord!

Speaking at the School April 8, 2008

Well, I did it! I’m not exactly sure of how it really went, you would probably need to ask the teacher or the students, but the Lord did answer my prayers about not being too nervous or afraid.  Two of the students said that what I spoke was encouraging and relevant, so that’s good.  

Please Pray for Me April 7, 2008

Last week, I had the honor of being asked to speak to the high school students at Orleans County Christian School in Medina, NY (Medina is about 15 minutes from where I live).  When I got the phone call I was completely shocked to be asked such an honor. I’m really excited! Yes, I do feel a little nervous, but I know the God is on my side and no fear will keep me from sharing about Him tomorrow. Yes! It’s tomorrow when I speak, and I would extremely covet your prayers. This will be one of the first times that I will have ever talked infront of a group of people.  So tomorrow at 9:45am please pray for me! I want so much to be an example of a godly young woman to these fellow young men & women.

Going Away Party Part 2 April 7, 2008

The party went very well on Friday. We came home feeling very blessed by the thoughtfulness of our friends. Thank you everyone who made the party happen, I would name you but I don’t really know who all helped.  Thank you for caring about us and making us feel that we really will be missed. I know that I am speaking for my family, when I say that we will miss you too. May the Lord bless you!

Going Away Party April 4, 2008

Tonight at 7:00 many of our friends are putting on a going away party for our family. I feel so blessed to have friends that care about us and are going to miss us when we move back to Kentucky.

I’ll tell you how it goes tomorrow.
