Warning: This has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss.
If you did the quiz you may have seen the question about who worked at a pregnancy center. Well in case you didn’t know that person would be me! Our center is currently working on creating a devotional for women in crisis pregnancies. We are looking for stories or devotions from….well….anyone! I’d like to ask my fellow OWOA pals to help contribute to this book (only first names will be published). As incentive I am offering L’oreal products (since my hubby works there and I get wicked deals). The winner (drawn randomly) will be able to select from a variety of offerings including Lancome, Biolage, Redken, Kiehls, Biotherm, etc. L’oreal even offers a wide variety of products just for men so Bird you are included!! What I’m looking for are stories about 250-300 words about your unplanned pregnancy, or struggle with infertility, or adoption, or whatever else you think might minister to a 18-29 year old female. Yesterday I got an email from a guy who I am selling my camcorder to. He knew I worked at the pregnancy center because that is where we agreed to make the sale at. He then emails me the most hilarious male perspective on the birthing process. That is going in the devotional! So there really are no limits. It could be funny, sad, touching, your own testimony, etc. Ok so I think you get the idea! Anyone who would like to participate can email me your completed entry to jeffsmandi AT yahoo DOT com. The deadline will be August 4th. I’ll announce the winner on August 6th at our weigh in.
This is intriguing. Brandi and I have some good prego stories with three kids and all. I think I may take you up on the offer!

Mandi - what a wonderful project! I’m not sure I will have time in the next week to put something together (have company all this week), but I will try and I just wanted to let you know that this sounds like a great idea that I hope will minister to many women.

Dawn,
Anytime you can get one to me would be great! We are going to be working on the book for the rest of the year so there is definitely plenty of time to write one (or two or three!) ;O)
