Love and War - just what I needed to read about marriage

Don't be scared off by the title! Love and War by John and Stasi Eldredge is out just in time for Valentine's Day. And what else could Love and War be about other than marriage! I mean where else do the terms love and war work so well together? lol. I love my marriage, but sometimes you want to call war because of disagreements. I'll admit I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book. We've (Mr. C & I) been together for a long time, so I've read a lot of marriage counselling books over the years. But to my surprise I was sobbing by the the end of chapter one. Th...

Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition

Are you a fan of Jane Austen? I know I am ever since Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen in the movie, Becoming Jane. It's amazing how movies can bring an old book back to life. I remember hearing of this book when I was younger, but really didn't give it a second glance until the past year or so. It's a classic I know! SO, when I saw that there was a version coming out of this book I jumped at the chance to read it. It is the Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition put out by Bethany House. I had to laugh because I brought this book with to the dentist the other day and I had ...

a new publisher,a new book & new giveaway! :)

So I found a new publisher! Their name is Revival Nation Publishing. I am always happy to see Christian publishers coming up, and as always I'm curious as to what they're putting out! I contacted the publisher and got a copy of a few books that I'm excited to read! I also recieved some copies to share with my readers, which I'm thrilled about! So this month's giveaway will be for a children's book! Which I'm quite thrilled about because what a better way to encourage our children is to read to them and to have great books for them to read from! So onto the book! Jellybean b...

I know it’s not October but.. an early Christmas present

Posted by Amydeanne on uncategorized

I know it’s not October anymore, but this month we’ve gone pink.

Miss H cut her beautiful long hair off to donate to make a wig for cancer patients.

That was a pretty nice thing to do for a six year old, so I thought some new photos to show her hair off would help her feel good about cutting it off, she wasn’t sure what it would look like since her hair had been long for a while now. Her first “real” hair cut, other than the little trims that I’ve given her since she was a baby. My hairstylist did a great job, don’t you think?

Miss H was pretty thrilled to know that someone would be able to enjoy it and hers would grow back. She was also happy to know that this was an excellent “Christmas” present to give to Jesus. She gave of herself this year and I’m happy that we’re learning to do this with a happy heart!!

Anyhow, as a parent my heart just swells and am glad she loves Jesus. I don’t know if I could have done this at her age.

The program we sent the hair to (or will be this week) is:

www.achildsvoicefoundation.ca

Angel Hair for Kids is a program of a Child’s Voice Foundation that provides wigs and hair loss solutions to financially disadvantaged children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition or treatment. Using hair that is generously donated to the program, Angel Hair for Kids can create wigs and hair systems and provide them to children in need at no cost to their families. Since its inception three years ago the program has provided wig systems at no charge to over 150 children and the demand is steadily increasing

It takes 10-12 donated ponytails to make one wig or hair prosthesis!! How crazy is that?

Too cute! I love the new do! May she be richly blessed for her self sacrifice. She is much braver than I am. I have debated donating my hair. But I love my long hair and I do not like the idea of going short again. Hope she loves it!
