Thank you SO much for stopping by today! We’re embarking upon an exciting (and I hope fun) adventure together over the next 40 days! Yes…40 days!!!
I’ll be right here checking in with you in “Blog-land” each day over the next forty! Postings will include a variety of things…devotionals, giveaways, author interviews (with book giveaways), VLOGs (for those of you new to the term…that’s video blog…yep, I’m coming to a screen near you soon), DIY projects, and just some random “stuff”. I also will be launching a new piece of the Out of Deep Waters ministry that I hope will help to reach even more people that are either in “deep waters” right now or have been already been rescued, in much the same way as me.
I can’t wait to build on our little community here over the next few weeks, and I encourage you to comment and comment often! I almost always respond to your comments (unless it’s a giveaway post). And, please send your friends! Many of the amazing people I’ve had the privilege of meeting (some even in person now) have been lovely individuals you’ve sent this way.
Let’s start this first post of forty off with a bang…it’s giveaway time!!!
One person will win ALL of the following:
Jesus Calling Journaling Devotional by Sarah Young
Lined journal with Jeremiah 29:11 scripture on the front
Package of Mary Engelbreit notecards
$5 Starbucks giftcard
Now…you have several opportunities to win this prize-pack, but everyone has to at least do “entry #1” as noted below to be eligible to win. Here we go…

2. Become a subscriber of this blog by entering your email address in the box provided on my homepage in the right column just above the pic of my hubby and me.
