His Revolutionary Love Giveaway & a Facebook Party!

I have a few fun offerings for you today; one is a giveaway and one is a Facebook party!!!

First, the party:

Join Time Warp Wife (my cyber friend, blogger and New York Times best-selling author Darlene Schacht) for a Facebook party this afternoon from noon to 3 pm CST.

If you have a Facebook account, simply head over and “Like” her page (Time Warp Wife) then join us for the PARTY!!!

There are some hip and helpful prizes from Ann Voskamp, Sally Clarkson, Amy Bayliss, Jenny Ervin, Brooke Lamkin and even some cool stuff from an Etsy shop.

I’ll also be giving away three signed copies of my books and a Starbucks card to go with each.

Hope to “see ” you there!

Now, for my guest today and her giveaway:

Do you remember Valentine’s Day in high school?  Lynn Cowell, does!

Her passion is to empower girls and their moms with confidence and positive self-esteem that comes from Jesus’ radical love. See if you can relate…

I hated Valentine’s Day.

Most of all, I hated the annual flower fundraiser.

When that day started though, I was hopeful. Maybe there was someone who would use this day to express how he really felt about me.

First block, second block, lunch.

Nothing.

Fourth block…. Then “the flower girl” glided into our room.

She called my name! I saw it; the pink flower. SOMEONE wanted to ask me out!

My heart began to flutter. Then I saw who it was from. Really? Him?

For a brief second, I allowed myself to get excited.

Then reality kicked in.

“There’s no way this can be true.” He was popular; I was not. There’s no way he would want me.

I shoved the flower down in my backpack. I feared it wasn’t real, so I acted like it never happened.

Never knowing the truth was better than finding out it was a joke.

Since then I have discovered Jesus has chosen me; chosen a life for me. His plan is for him and me to live out life together with purpose and to make an eternal difference.

You too are chosen! You are not an accident; nor a mistake. You are a person of worth and purpose created by God.

When a girl is picked as the Homecoming queen, is she shy? Does she try to run away when they put the crown on her head?

No! She is confident and self-assured; you can be too. You are chosen!

Do you have a teen girl in your life who needs to know this truth? Consider sharing “His Revolutionary Love” with her for Valentine’s Day!

Today, one person will be chosen to receive a signed copy of “His Revolutionary Love” along with Lynn’s DVD from her “Revolutionary Love” teen conference.

Simply leave us a Valentine teen memory from your past (or perhaps one from your own teen’s life—with their permission, of course!)

Or, if time is tight because you are trying to get all your Valentine’s mailed, just say “I am chosen!”

Winner will be announced Monday.

Hope to see you at the party later today on Facebook!
