Forget-Me-Not Contest Winners

Thank you for all who participated in the April giveaway. Isn’t God good? It was so encouraging to read your stories of faith and victory in Jesus. Thank you for sharing your testimony with every one.

The winners will each receive the Forget-Me-Not-Faith workshop CD by Jill Novak and a beautifully designed Forget-Me-Not-Faith bracelet by Donna Jones.

However, everyone who participated this time is a winner. We want to bless  you all with a free mp3 download of this inspiring workshop.

We will upload it this weekend and contact you on Monday the 24th by email to give you the link.

The winners are Lori, Meredith and Malori.

They said,

Dear All,
God has granted me the requests of my heart with a precious baby boy. Each day his life is so precious. This gift, my heritage from the Lord, wouldn’t be so precious without walking a terribly, difficult journey of loss. It represents the contrasts in life. Dark, light, night day. Without the pain on the journey, the joy wouldn’t be so great. After being told I would never again have a baby without the help of an egg donor and choosing not to accept this option, I was devastated to think that I may never have any more children and that in some way my gift of being able to give life to another child was gone. It is so hard to walk this road without feeling that in some way my worth as a woman was affected. It was in walking this road to discover God’s truth found in His word, to embrace and walk this by faith, that I found victory in knowing His love for me. My worth was not based in whether or not I would be having any more children, rather in His love for me. Then as I walked through 2 subsequent losses of miscarried babies, truly miracles to me, after being told I could never have any more children, my faith was tested supremely. As I chose to not believe the lies of the enemy that God had somehow forgotten me or why had these things been allowed to happen to me, rather that God loved me and had a plan beyond what I could see, I would CHOOSE to believe HIS TRUTH. In the midst of accepting my circumstances I found peace in my circumstances, but I also was granted the gift of my baby boy. The Healing for my Heart was the greater gift I would say. Amazingly within my circumstances today, I still struggle to rest in Him and His plans. I am thankful for the opportunity to remember this journey and His faithfulness, to hope and believe, to let my faith grow deeper to result in a deepened faith and surrender to my Heavenly Father. – Lori

As an overseas missionary a few years back, we had experienced a drop in support and a weakening of the dollar and things were really tight. I was nursing a little one and desperately needed meat protein in my diet–as well as wanting to feed the rest of the family well. During a six week period of leanness of support, we watched God supply everything we NEEDED at just the right moment. Whether it was someone reimbursing me for Bible study materials (the equivalent of $10 or $20) or someone blessing us with a bag full of chicken and even some ground beef! God provided over and again and allowed us to experience that leanness for HIS glory…so we could also experience His blessing! – Meredith

For most of my life, I’ve always dreamed of getting married and being a mom. As I grew up, I dreamed of that special guy who would one day be my husband, and I began begging God to send him to me…sooner rather than later! I’m still very young, 23, but at times it seemed like He was going to make me wait FOREVER. But in the past month, I have been discovering God’s faithfulness in a new way…He has been so good to me and has sent me an amazing, Godly young man, with whom I am growing in friendship and in faith. Seeing the Lord’s plans slowly unfold has been so beautiful, as Christ is the center of this relationship and I firmly believe that He brought us together. I am eager to see what He has in store for our future! – Malori

Lori, Meredith and Malori will each receive our Forget-Me-Not-Faith CDs and our Forget-Me-Not-Faith Bracelets!

Blessings,
Jill and Eric Novak
