Time is not on my side, but my God is and He can make this happen!!!

My new giveaway is going to be a huge hit if you are a coffee lover! This giveaway is for a coffee mug and Three Avocados coffee! Three Avocados is a wonderful organization whose profits from their coffee sales go toward clean water projects in Uganda. How cool is that?! So you get amazing coffee and help bring clean water to Uganda. Awesome!! I have found 2 mugs that I love so the winner will get to choose which one they want. Here are pictures of both of them:



The first mug says: "Now I tell you to love each other, as I have loved you" John 15:12. The second mug does not have any writing on it.

Along with the mug you will also get two bags of Three Avocados coffee. To get an entry into this giveaway all you have to do is make a donation in any amount of $10 or more to my upcoming trip to Ethiopia!

The TOMS Giveaway has officially ended after I extended it for a day. I was so excited about this giveaway and I wish it had done better than it did, but I'm glad I did it. I have another giveaway in the works already so all you coffee lovers out there get ready for that! Without further ado, the winner of the TOMS shoes giveaway is...Carley Critchlow!!!

Congratulations Carley!! Just send me a message with which $44 pair you would like and which size you need. Or if you want a pair for one of the kids it would be one of the $38 youth pairs. Send me a message tonight if you can so I can place the order tomorrow this way One Child Campaign can benefit by TOMS donating $5 to them from this purchase. Thanks again for entering! Congratulations!!

Don't forget I'm still selling Love Ethiopia bracelets and Love Africa Magnets. I have 5 magnets left so first come first serve on those. Bracelets are $5 and magnets are $6. Just make a note in the Paypal form what you are ordering. You can also order your Love Africa shirts on the right side of my blog. They are $25 for adult sizes and $20 for youth sizes.

Be on the look out for the next giveway to start soon. Thank you all for your generosity towards my trip. I appreciate it more than you may ever know. Thank you also for all your prayers for my trip. I can definitely feel them so keep them coming. I will also be doing a blog post tomorrow about my trip. I know I have been a little secretive lately, but I had to wait for some things to get in order and didn't want some people to learn something to be learned through the internet. I thank you all for your patience in this matter. I will be doing a blog post all about this tomorrow. 

Great New Giveaway!!

Hey everybody! Thank you to everyone who donated to my last giveaway! I can't believe how many entries I had. I have a great new giveaway starting today and will end Thursday April 28th. It is a quick giveaway for a reason. If this giveaway ends before the end of April, it will also benefit One Child Campaign. One Child Campaign is the organization I will be going to Ethiopia with this summer. More info on that coming later.

This giveaway is for one pair of TOMS shoes! The winner will get a pair of TOMS $44 Classic style. The $44 pairs are solids colors and come in a variety of colors. How this will work is the winner will tell me if they are ordering mens or womens, the size to order, and the color wanted. I will then order the pair and have them directly shipped to the winner. If you want to order a youth pair, the winner will get to choose one of the $38 pairs. This will benefit One Child Campaign because any pair purchased in the month of April using the code "KICKS" $5 will be donated to One Child Campaign. And for every pair of shoes bought from TOMS they give a pair to a child in need. It's a win win for everyone!!

Each entry is a $15 donation to my trip. How great of a deal is that?! A $15 donation to my mission trip to Ethiopia and you get a chance to win a pair of TOMS shoes! (Click on the donation button to the right. In the message section in Paypal note it's for the TOMS giveaway.) If 10 people enter this giveaway, minus the cost of the shoes I will get almost $100 toward my trip. If 15 people enter, I will get $170 toward my trip. So, tell everyone you know about this giveaway! Spread the word! Not only will I benefit from this giveaway, but One Child Campaign and a child who needs a pair of shoes will also benefit. How great is that?!

Make sure you get your entry soon. This giveaway ends next Thursday! If you want to enter, make sure you get your entry in now so you don't forget. Thank you so much for supporting me and my trip. I appreciate it so much. And, as always, keep the prayers coming. I can feel them and I appreciate them.

Love Africa T-Shirts!

I have designed a t-shirt to help support my trip to Ethiopia. I decided to keep it as general as possible in regards to a country. I have lots of friends who have a heart for Africa, but it may not necessarily be Ethiopia. God has called them to do His work in Africa whether it is in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, or elsewhere. I wanted to design a t-shirt that everyone could enjoy. So I have designed Love Africa t-shirts.




The color is called natural. It's like a tan/khaki color. It's not yellow like it might look like in the picture. The front says Love Africa over a picture of Africa. The back has one of my favorite verses on it. Isaiah 1:17 "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows."

Adult size shirts are $25 each. And youth sizes are $20 each. I have to have an order of 25 before I can put the order in to the company. So, please share this with everyone you know. The more t-shirts I put in at once more money will go towards my trip as it drives down the cost per t-shirt that I have to pay the company. So spread the word!!

I'm going to try to get a Paypal button on my blog specifically for the t-shirts, but until then you can purchase using the donate button. In the message section on Paypal make sure you tell me how many t-shirts you are ordering and the sizes. The size is very important. When I put in the order I will be ordering the sizes that have been requested. I will let you all know when I place the order and when to expect your t-shirts to arrive.

Thank you! And continue to pray for my trip. I feel your prayers and I appreciate them very much.

Edited to add: Just added Paypal buttons for the t-shirts. I think I'm getting pretty good at this Paypal thing! lol Adult sizes are listed first. And youth sizes are listed just below the adult. Just select your size from the drop down box and click buy now. If you don't see the size you need, email me and I can put it in the order for you. Any questions at all please email me. Thanks!
