The stirring thoughts of doing an Autumn giveaway has been stuck in my head for several weeks now. I didn't know what I could do for one, until I found Jami. Jami is such a sweet lady who sells Miche purses! She was so generous and offered this beautiful item....
This gorgeous item is called a Miche Charm, which is made to hook onto your purse. I do encourage you to check out her site!
I am going to tell you, how you will be entering to win this item is far more different than how you usually enter for a giveaway. So how do you enter to win this item?
You will need to answer this question: What has God done in your life that's amazing to you?
Make sure that your answer is at least a paragraph long (3 sentences). It would be lovely if you could even answer it with more than that! You all will have through next Friday to comment with your answers and then Saturday morning I will announce the winner.
How will I choose the winner? Well, I will read each person's answer and then choose a top 5. Then I will give the top 5 to my mom and let her choose which she thinks deserves to win. (I won't put your names with the stories when she reads them). I promise you that I won't play favorites either. For example, if someone with hundreds and hundreds of readers/followers commented their answer, I would not pick them just because of who they are. I will choose the top 5 based on how it is written, how deep it is, and how serious you seem.
Best of luck and I am looking forward to reading everything!
Also, if you feel so inclined to do so, I'd love if you posted or tweeted about this!
Hey Anna Gray. I think something that God has done in my life is adopting Sonia. The day when we were at Challenge A and we thought that we were not going to get to travel until after Christmas, my mom came and asked all of the teachers to pray for us and that God would let us travel soon! My mom was eating at Wendy's and she got the call that we could travel, but we had to find tickets...six of them within 3 days. We searched an searched and at about 4:30 that same day we got the tickets, packed and left that Friday. It was a busy month, but it was AMAZING what God did in our life! Bay
ReplyDeleteWow, Anna! What a fun way to pick the giveaway! And I love Jami too....what a fun prize!
ReplyDeleteWhat has God done in my life that's amazing to me? He used what the enemy intended for harm and He changed my life for the better!! I lived such a wonderful life growing up, after being adopted by 2 wonderful people. I had never experienced tragedy before. Then in one weekend, my whole life was turned upside down. I got a call in the middle of the night that my mom was rushed to the hospital and only had a 50% chance of survival. She was only 55. The next day, she turned 56, and the day after that, she went to be with the Lord. I had just turned 28.
At first, I was so angry with the Lord because He didn't answer my prayers to save her. But, I realized very quickly that to make it through, I needed Him. I went through so many changes through the years, wandering around trying to find a way to get through the grief. Through it all, the Lord was always there and He was using this situation to bring me back to Him. I hadn't been to church in many years. I started going back to church, saw my husband be saved, and now my life is truly better than I could've ever imagined.
So, what He did for me is He used a horrible situation, that I truly could have given up on life over, and He completely changed my life and my family's life through the process, brought us to Him, and He redeemed us! I know that if my Mom had not died, I would still be working, going through the motions, not in church, and we would've missed out on the life that Jesus came here to give us! I wish that my Mom were here to see it! She would be so amazed at how the Lord used such a horrible tragedy to carry out His plans for us!
I think the most wonderful thing that God has done in my life is that He allowed me to be raised by two loving Christian parents that taught me the way of the Lord as a small child and that saved me so much heart ache & trouble when I grew up. I was saved at a young age & have been living for Him ever since. I see His hand every day in my life. He healed me of my cancer & has blessed me with a wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteGod is good. All the time.
Great question!
Anna Gray,
ReplyDeleteGod has done so many amazing things in my life it's hard to name just one. But I'll try. :) One amazing thing He has done is that He sent me and my family to North Carolina.I'll be the first to tell you,I DID NOT at all want to move, I'm glad now I did. God has put me with an amaing church family whom I love with all my heart. My youth group is also astounding and they are like my extended family. I'm so glad God has been in my life.
Much Love,
Emily
Ok.
ReplyDeleteAbout 3 years ago, I was staying at my grandparents house with some of my brothers and sisters. I fell over and I landed on my chin. It really hurt that night. The next day it was time for us to go home. I had a guitar lesson that same day and my guitar teacher noticed that my chin looked a bit out of shape. He told my Mum (my Mum already knew I had hurt myself), and she got my to hold some ice up on it. We thought I might have broken and bone or something. I couldn't eat anything hard because it would hurt like crazy, so I was getting pretty hungry. 3 days later we went to church. Our pastor asked to come out in front of the church to be prayed for, but I was younger and very shy, so I stayed where my family and I were sitting. He still prayed for me though. The second he stopped praying, all the pain in my chin went and it looked fine!!!
It was the most amazing thing I have ever felt. It was like a breath of wind, and as it past through my body it took all the pain and everything. It all happened so quickly!
