And the winner is...

Thank you all for supporting us in the Ordinary Hero store this week and for sharing our story with your peeps-and mostly for lifting us up to the Father! We have felt your love!!

The winner of the 'change the world for one' t-shirt is...Brandy Hester! Congrats sister :)

And now a freebie for everyone! Check out this website to download the pdf version of 'Bloodlines'. John Piper's book on race, the cross, and the christian. also, on today's blogpost he is offering a free short ebook on abortion! I'm almost through 'bloodlines' and it is wonderful. He always has me chewing on stuff that is tasty yet HARD! http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/online-books/bloodlines

This week has been one of literally feeling the prayers of the saints lift us up. I can't thank you all enough for this amazing blessing. Though this journey is CrAzY, we can KNOW the peace of God's presence continually-and that same peace is offered to all of His children at all times. I pray I choose to sit in His presence instead of running to my norms (anxiety, fear, compulsion, false control seeking and a general 'freak out state')

Have a blessed weekend!

Our first Giveaway!

Wanna win this XL eco fit t-shirt for your hunny bear for valentine's?? or let a friend know you care? or gain an unbelievably soft new shirt for yourself?!


It reads "Change the World for One" I absolutely love this phrase. Our small group went through the book "Hole in the Gospel" by Richard Stearns this past semester and a quote from Andy Stanley he brings up in one of the chapters is "Do for one person what you wish you could do for everyone." And the cool part...when you wear this shirt you are changing the world for one orphan...our future daughter. You're helping fund her coming home and being an orphan no more!

Here's how to enter the giveaway:
1. Check our our Ordinary Hero store and purchase something you love for someone you love and select my name (Megan Manuel) in the affiliate box at checkout, then leave me a comment after this post telling me you did! You can go to the store here.
