Last November, David and I were sitting in the office of a literary agency sharing our story with a team who had the tools and skills to share what God has done in our lives with the world. In December, we began the tedious process of writing our story, revisiting old memories and familiar faces along the way. In January we began working on a new website where we could share more of our story in the form of a blog. In the spring of this year we slowly began to understand the ins and outs of social media. Fast-forward to this month, and our book has officially released, and we are officially blown away by the love and support we have been so overwhelmed by in this last month.
I’m sure you hear authors thank their readers and supporters all the time, and I’m sure they mean it through and through. But the gratitude we’ve been so deeply feeling in recent weeks goes far beyond a simple “thank you for buying our book”. You see, your support, be it in the form of a book purchase, a “Like” on social media, or prayer over this project, has exemplified God’s faithfulness in such a tangible way to us.
Each time you’ve encouraged David and me, you’ve been the voice of the Lord reassuring us that He is with us and has walked with us every step of the journey. Every prayer and every ounce of support has served to bring us closer to the Lord as we trust Him with our lives.
To say thank you just doesn’t seem like enough. And thinking of how to adequately express our gratitude for each of you who is reading this is quite simply impossible. So we will have to thank you in small ways.
We are giving away copies of our book to two winners this week! This small gesture is only a tiny glimpse of how thankful we are for your support, but we hope it blesses you.
To enter the giveaway is simple:
- Comment on this post with your email address
- Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest (if you’re already following us, you are good to go!)
You have until tomorrow at midnight Eastern Time to enter. We will email the two winners on Thursday morning.
Thank you again to all who have supported us in this journey. You are a blessing to us personally, and we couldn’t do any of this without you!

You are truly one of God’s gifts to our family. You have given me strength and courage to face just the small issues our family has and are going through. I thank you for that. I read your book in three days and what power, strength, faith and I could go on and on but I think you know what i mean. I thank you for your words. Love Aunt Janet and Uncle Larry.
