Winning!

We can’t say the word “winning” this year without at least a split-second image of a manic Charlie Sheen.

But true winning is finding a path of forgiveness and love.  Winning is finding God’s way through pain instead of our own.  Winning is finding the passion that can drive us forward to make a difference, to love out our faith and impact lives.

Alex Krutov is a winner.

Alex has found hope in the midst of hopelessness, laughter in the midst of fear, perseverance in the midst of abuse.  Enduring horrors no one should ever endure.  Watching friends die.  Burying them in unmarked graves. Accepting the impossible forgiveness and grace of Jesus.

I am a winner.

I have seen God use my painful past to help my girls heal.  I have rediscovered my passion for writing.  I am serving, and expecting nothing in return.

Joe Lalonde is a winner.

Joe runs a great blog about leadership and faith, and is a fellow member of the blogger community Killer Tribes.  Joe has won the drawing for Alex’s book, Infinitely More, and a Starbucks Gift Card.  Thanks to everyone who entered and shared!

You are a winner.

Look at the past year, and think about your goals for next year.  Find the threads of winning that weave through your life.  They’re there.

Leave a comment to congratulate Joe and tell us why you are a winner.

Sunday was my one-month anniversary at RiverOfThoughts.com and Monday was my 100th post related to Adoption.

To celebrate these milestones, and to wrap up National Adoption Month, I want to give away my favorite moment of peace:  a good book and a frilly coffee!

This means I’m giving away a copy of Infinitely More by Alex Krutov, along with a Starbucks Gift Card!!! 

Enter yourself in the drawing by following three simple steps between now and next Tuesday, 6 December:

1. Find your favorite post on my blog site.  How?

  • Visit the Adoption Story or Portfolio pages for links to some key moments
  • Use the Search feature
  • Browse the Archives
  • Click on a subject in the Tag Cloud

2. Share that post with people you know.  How?

  • Tweet it
  • Share it on Facebook
  • Email it to someone (or many people)
    Look for the super-easy buttons to do all three of these things at the bottom of every post!

3. Comment Here!  (this is the important part!!!!!)

  • Tell me which post was your favorite
  • Include your real email address when you comment
    (your email will NOT be available to anyone but me, and I will ONLY use it to notify you if you win)
