100th Post GIVEAWAY!!!

This post marks our 100th post on Whitney's blog.  When Sean wrote the very first post on here nearly a year ago, neither one of us had any idea how our journey would play out.  We had no idea how many people would love on us, pray for us and shed tears with us.  We are blessed beyond our imagination by all of you who continue to love and encourage us.  

We had no idea what meeting our daughter would look like... would we get to hold her?  Who would she look like?  When would she come?  Again, we were blown away by God's timing, His provision and of course, His peace that passes all understanding.  

We are humbled by how much we have learned and are continuing to learn on this journey.  We understand more than ever what joy--true joy, is.  We've gained insight into the unfathomable sacrificial love that God wants to lavish upon each and every one of us, and are completely humbled by that realization.  We were challenged to literally put 'what we preach into action' and in the end, can say that we held true to our deepest convictions of life.

This isn't a farewell post... no, not at all!  We know that this journey is far from over.  This is more of a "THANK-YOU, Let's celebrate!" type of post.  So... in honor of our 100th post, I'm having a give away!!  Yay!  Who doesn't like free stuff, right?!?!??  Here's what you could win:

 Here's the Giveaway Goodies:

"I Will Carry You" book, by Angie Smith
"Angel Love" Willow Tree figurine
"HOPE" word art

I chose to give away this book because it is a beautiful depiction of what it means to carry to term.  I think that anyone would gain fantastic insight from reading this book, and the way that Angie pens her story of carrying her daughter, Audrey Caroline is so beautiful, real and heart-felt.  

 

I chose the Willow Tree figurine for several reason... one, the title of it is "Angel Love."  Sometimes, babies who pass away are called "angel babies."  And while I don't believe that Whitney is now an angel, its still kinda fitting.  The second reason I fell in love with this little lady is the curly hair.  Whitney had the tiniest rivets of curls all over her precious head... she would have definitely had curly hair, just like me.  :-)

 

Finally, I LOVED this little HOPE word art.  Its small and just the right size to sit on your desk, bedside table, or anywhere else you need something pretty.  My friend, Kaylan gave us a beautiful piece of word art that spelled Whitney's name out in pictures.  I LOVE it... it hangs above our piano in the main room.  And this reminds me of that.  :-)
