captivating in a giveaway

some time ago, i won a pay it forward giveaway that my sweet friend jenilee @the goodwin family was having. and this is what i won; the book, captivating by john and stasi eldredge and a super cute journal.


little did i know that winning this book was going to open up so much understanding to me that my heart had been searching for.  i honestly have received more than i ever thought was possible from any book other than  the Bible in a very long time. it has truly been a blessing to me. i would encourage any woman who has not read it to seek it out and read it from cover to cover. within it are some amazing insights into understanding our hearts as women. or, you could just leave a comment on this post because i am going to pay it forward in a giveaway myself along with some other of my very favorite things. if you are interested in winning a package of some of my favorite things, including this book, captivating, and you are willing to pay it forward by having a giveaway of your own if you win, then leave me a comment and I will enter you into this giveaway. you can still participate if you have won a pay it forward giveaway before. this is my second opportunity in winning a pay it forward giveaway and i feel privileged to be able to continue paying it forward.


so if you are interesting in participating and winning, you need to be willing to...
• give me your mailing address so I can send a package your way.
• write your own Pay It Forward post after you receive your gift telling about it, and in that post link back  to my blog.
• come up with something to send out and bless YOUR winner.

sound okay? if you can follow those rules, then leave me a comment letting me know you'd like to be entered! winners will be chosen randomly... out of a basket...by my youngest daughter amanda on thursday evening before she goes to bed at about 9:30 p.m.

That is awesome that you got so much from that book. Please don't count me in because I do so many giveaways on my blog for Free 4 all fridays. It is hard to keep up. But I have done pay it forwards before and I think they are so awesome.
Glad you got a great book for your pay it forward.
Hugs,
Mimi

Ah... Captivating. A very familiar book. Back in 2006 God invited me to teach that book to 25-30 women for 12 weeks.. I had attended a Captivating retreat in 2005 with Stasi Eldredge speaking in Colorado. I had no idea what it would be like. I just knew He asked me to teach it. Each week He would download a message from the chapter, often inviting me to live what He wanted me to speak on. There's alot of truth packed in that book... it affected my life and my story!

I've got the book already so I'm not signing up for the giveaway.
