And the winner is...ME!!!

(Don't start getting all excited...no, I didn't win a baby girl...)

I NEVER win anything. Never. Until today!!!!!

Linny had a Memorial Box giveaway. I entered a couple of times...sharing what I would put into my memorial box if I had one.

And now I'm the winner! Read about it here.

I've been encouraging some of my family and friends to start Memorial Boxes. The girls in my Bible Study group and I were going through the study Experiencing God, and we were challenged to share some spiritual markers in our lives. Sadly, we all had a hard time thinking of examples of God's faithfulness off the top of our heads. Then, as I was reading Linny's blog, she shared her idea of setting up a Memorial Box. It's a wonderful way to testify to yourself and others of God's goodness in your life. You can read about them here, on Linny's post.

For the past few months since the discussion in the Bible study, I have been searching around Tom's Farms, at Home Goods, eBay, and Craigslist. Just couldn't find one that felt right. Now, my Memorial Box will stand with it's own story of God's faithfulness...that a woman who has encouraged and challenged me in this whole adoption process...a woman who I've never met or had a conversation with...is giving me a Memorial Box! Isn't God just fabulous???

I'm so excited!!

  1. Hi there! I love your blog! :)

    I am just laughing right now because I've read Linny's blog for a while now and just adore her! Well I found your blog from hers on Monday when she did the giveaway, and bookmarked your blog. Came back today and see that you mentioned Tom's Farms- are you in southern CA? :) I live here too and just thought it was funny! Just a small world. ;)

    Anyway, I am praying for you to bring your baby girl home soon! I can't even imagine your excitement!!!
