Awesome Giveaways

Well, here I am blogging again about some giveaways, but these are seriously awesome! If you ever read my blog, you seriously just have to check out MommyandMegiveaways. They review products sent to them and more often than not, the companies also sponsor giveaways for those products!! So, I was introduced to this by a friend of mine, and I've been relatively hooked! I've won a couple pretty awesome things, not the least of which was Microsoft Word 2010 for our MAC! So, if I haven't convinced you--go check them out! Right now they are doing a fun 12 days of Christmas giveaway (hence the button farther down on my blog). All of the giveaways for this event are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!! Here are just a few:

Mobi is sponsoring a giveaway for their digital Mobi Cam baby monitoring system. This little trinket is valued at $229 and could be won for free!! (if you're not at least curious about this blog by now, you're crazy!!)

ZVOX is sponsoring a giveaway for a Z-base 555 Stereo System!! This is a $399.99 value!! It is a surround sound with no external wires or speakers etc. This is a huge offer!!

Angeles is sponsoring a giveaway for a their crib which has the following features:

1. It is fully compliant with the NEW December 2010 safety guidelines!!! That is the most important thing for you to know. This crib is safe for your children.

2. It has a 5 year warranty.

3. BONUS! It comes with a mattress.

4. It meets or even exceeds the 16CFR1632 and 16CFR1633 flammability standards! (I told you this crib was safe)

So cool!! They also did a giveaway a little while back for a little Trike and they have tons of other great looking products!!

Scentsy, which is not part of the 12 days of Christmas event is also doing a giveaway. I have a scentsy warmer and I LOVE IT! It has been a great way to make our house yummy without the danger of fire and without me having to bake something :) This consultant is giving away a warmer and a scented bar to go with it! This gives you an idea of their typical daily giveaways!

At any rate, I'm obviously hooked! Who doesn't love free useful things?? So one of the ways I can boost my entries is to blog about the giveaway, but even more than that I want to share this wonderful blog with those of you who read this! I'm sure we're all bargain shoppers and what better bargain than brand new and free?? So, check it out at your own risk of complete addiction :)

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

I've been wanting to post this for a while now, just didn't seem to find the time to sit down and do it. But, since I'm relaxing at grandma and grandpa's and Makaela is sleeping (yes, still sleeping at 5:30) I thought I'd take a quick minute to do this post. We sang an arrangement of this song last month in choir--correction--the choir sang an arrangement and I played piano. That whole accompaniment thing is still a stretching experience for me, so the Lord must still have more He wants to teach me through it. Anyway, as we were singing first service, I was completely overwhelmed (to the point of tears which is not necessarily the best thing when you're trying to play the piano) by the goodness and greatness of our God!! I wasn't the only one, and it is always so encouraging and convicting to my heart when the spirit moves so greatly within!! So, I wanted to share the words because they are so powerful and God used them to speak deeply to me.

"A Mighty Fortress"

Our God is a consuming fire, a burning holy flame, with glory and freedom;

Our God is the only righteous judge, ruling over us with kindness and wisdom;

And we will keep our eyes on You, we will keep our eyes on You.

A mighty fortress is our God;

A sacred refuge is Your Name.

Your kingdom is unshakeable;

And with you forever we will reign.

Our God is jealous for His own, none could comprehend His love and His mercy;

Our God is exalted on His throne, high above the heavens, forever He is worthy;

And we will keep our eyes on You, we will keep our eyes on You.

A mighty fortress is our God;

A sacred refuge is Your Name.

Your kingdom is unshakeable;

With you forever we will reign.

A Mighty Fortress is our God!!"
