Giveaway Day is Here!

Good morning blog friends!!!

It's Friday! Woohoo! It also happens to be my 39th birthday. Yep...last one in those thankful thirties! Where has time gone?!

Like last year, I've decided to do another birthday giveaway! Nothing tickles me more than being able to bless someone else on this day, because God has blessed me beyond belief in my 39 years!

So...today's giveaway includes a few of my favorite things:

1. Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick - This is a pretty new release by the lead pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the US - Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC. We actually had the privilege of visiting that church in August when we happened to be in town, and God blessed our socks off with Pastor Steven's message. So, when his new book came out a few months ago...I had to get it! WOW! It is amazing. If you already have the book or already read the book...please forward it to a friend (if you happen to be the winner). The message is too good not to share!

2. $10 Starbucks gift card - Think of me drinking my favorite: Skinny Hazelnut Latte - hold the whip! :-)

3. Mary Kay Vanilla Sugar Hand Cream - Doesn't the name just make you want to eat it up? But...promise me you won't do that. It's for the HANDS! :-)

You actually have 4 ways to enter today, and feel free to do all 4! Here's how it works:

1) Leave a comment on this post telling me how I can pray for you today. It would be my privilege, and I promise to do it!

2) Become a follower (see sidebar to the right). After doing so, come back and leave another comment saying you've done it! If you're already a follower, simply leave a comment (after you leave comment #1 above, of course) saying that you're following already.

3) Post and leave a link to this blog post either on your own blog or Facebook page and then come back and comment telling me that you've done so.

4) Lastly tweet about the giveaway on Twitter, including a link back here, and include my Twitter name @LeahSGillen so that I know you've done it and give you credit for another entry.

Honestly...if you don't have time but to do one of the above...I'd still love to have you participate. I just know some of you are as competitive as I'm am (ha! ha!) and will use all 4 entries! Am I right?

I will leave this giveaway open for comments through the 22nd and will come back and announce the randomly chose winner sometime the evening of the 23rd (my daughter's 14th birthday)! Busy weekend for us!

Thanks for sharing this special day with me here! Love you!!!

  8. Wow! What a kind and generous giveaway, Leah (especially on YOUR birthday)! :)

    I have so much to be thankful for in this life but if possible, do pray for me to find a better job (not in terms of money but in terms of working with compassionate people who welcome ideas and talents). I'm thankful I have a job that pays the basics but there's so much abuse that takes place in the office and every morning I wake up with a heavy heart and dread work. lots of yelling, insulting, tension - it's very uncomfortable especially since I work at a pretty small office. Thank you so much!

  16. Hi, Leah! I hopped over after seeing a link to your giveaway on Melanie's FB page. This sounds like a great giveaway!

    I would appreciate your prayers for my family. Please pray for good health for hubby, both sons, and me, and also my parents, brother, and sister. My brother has had major life-threatening health issues over the last year (details are on my blog). Pray, too, for God's provision in every aspect of our lives!

    Thank you...now, how may I pray for YOU?

  18. I'm a new follower thanks to the FB link provided by my friend Beth E. (above). :) I have also re-posted her link and tweeted about your give away.

    If you'd like to pray for me as well (prayer is ALWAYS appreciated) I'd like to request that you pray with me for my husband to find a better job. We had our first child in August and I'm now a stay at home mom (which gives us one income). He's looking and we know God will provide!

    I hope that all four of my entries are okay to do here in one comment. :)
