My very first giveaway!!!

Dear friends~

I am very excited tonight to announce my very first giveaway here---in honor of my "Blogiversary"! When I posted my first post on April 2nd, 2009 I'd thought only people I knew would be interested in reading what we were up to on our farm, but God's surprised me abundantly and has blessed me with some very dear, new friends over these last few months. I'm so happy now that I started a blog back then! :)

But, let me get to the part about the giveaway...

I pondered for a while what would be a blessing to most anyone who reads my blog, and finally decided on getting one of my very favorite music CDs, "Sanctuary" by Marty Goetz, to give away.

Mr. Goetz is a Messianic Jew who puts many of the Psalms to beautiful music he composes. We were introduced to his songs several years ago and have, since then, bought all of his CDs. His music is so inspiring and I'm sure you would find it a blessing too!


If you'd like a chance to win this giveaway, please do one or more of the following and let me know you did so... You'll get 1 entry per thing that you do below:

• Leave me a comment--preferably telling me the name(s) of your favorite music CD(s)
• Blog about this giveaway and link to my blog
• Write about (and link to) this giveaway on FaceBook
• E-mail 3 of your friends about this giveaway--with a link to my blog

A week from today, I'll be drawing the winning name out of the hat, so you have a little time to spread the word and increase the number of times your name's put into the hat--if you so desire. :)

Don't know how to leave a comment? It's pretty easy really... Just click on the "Comments" link at the bottom of this post, then scroll down until you see the "Leave your comment" box and write your comment in the empty box. Next, you'll be at "Word verification", where you type in the word that shows up above the empty box. Then, you'll need to "Choose an identity"--if you don't have a blog, just click on "Anonymous", but then please be sure to leave your name at the bottom of the comment so I know who you are! :) All that's left then is to push the "Publish your comment" button, and you're done!

Just in case you don't read my brother Andrew's blog regularly, I wanted to let you know that he is having his 1-year-of-blogging celebration now too and you have until Sunday to enter there.....

Thank you so much to those of you who've made my first year of blogging so enjoyable, educational, and exciting! May the Lord bless you richly for all you do to bring honor and glory to His name.~
