31 Days of Love & Hate :: Day 31 ~ $125 Favorites Giveaway!

October 31, 2013 By Caroline TeSelle

favs_giveaway

What a month! If you can believe it, there were a few topics left on our list this month that we didn’t get around to sharing.  Crazy, right? Sometimes you pick a topic and the ideas continue to roll in.  Greg is right though, he “drew the hate straw” and had the difficult responsibility to write about hate this month. His posts were convicting & thought provoking.  I am so glad that he poked the hate fire, in a good way.  If this is your first time to read our 31 Days of Love & Hate, all of the posts can be found here.

One huge takeaway for me this month: the two of us continue to make a good team.  I’ve known that since before we got married, but for 16 years now the term “team” for our marriage has applied to ministry, mentoring, cooking, parenting & now writing {did you know we wrote 31 Days of Rest & Risk last year?}.  I wonder what’s next?

As for you, if you get anything out of our 31 Days of Love & Hate writing adventure, that’s humbling & amazing.  Thank you for listening & reading & commenting.

With that said, with all that we’ve written this month, can I encourage you to connect with these Dream Chaser friends:

Stitch Fix button

I love Stitch Fix!* Greg does too because he gets a firsthand look at the clothes they send.  It’s less awkward modeling new clothing in the comfort of our living room than making him wait outside a dressing room at the store.  Get started in your styling adventure with a $50 Stitch Fix gift card. This gift card can be used for current members and you can apply it to your next fix or if you want to become a member sign up here,* then you can use the gift card towards your Fix. {friendly sidebar ~ if you win this giveaway & becoming a member isn’t necessarily something you’re interested in, we can can chat about another gift option that will still be $50 value}.

Did you see the orange cowl I was wearing in Day 16?  I purchased it from my friend Maggie earlier this year, and I LOVE IT!  She is the super creative lady behind Gussy Sews shop & she has generously donated a $50 Gussy Sews gift certificate for this giveaway. Maggie currently lives in LA with her husband, Zack & their completely adorable 7 month old boy, Maxwell.  She has created an amazing community through her blog & she is one of my favorites to follow on Instagram {@gussysews}.

    Woot! Way to go! You did it! I think all 31 dayers should be applauded. And I love that you and your husband wrote as a team. Sooo, very cool.

    I am not dressing up. But I will be touring the neighborhood with Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell and a cute monster. And I will be stealing candy. Because let’s just be honest we all LOVE to do that!

    So great to see you at Allume friend!

Shelly passed away on Sunday night. Please click over to her profile and read her husband’s words about her passing...“As we grieve, we do so with hope.”⁣
⁣
Today, as I drive northwest to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for another round of follow-up appointments, Shelly’s words continue to be a balm to my soul...⁣
⁣
“When all the ways in which we find our identity have been stripped away, we stand like barren branches in a posture of surrender awaiting God’s next move.⁣
⁣
“Our purpose is to glorify God, not by doing more for him but simply being with him; trusting God rather than trusting in circumstances lining up.⁣
⁣
“Our greatest certainty in life is God’s presence and help.”⁣
⁣
I’m clinging to that certainty today. Thank you, Shelly. Rest well.
“It is when we are at rest that we hear the voic “It is when we are at rest that we hear the voice of God echoing over our worry.” @shellymillerwriter⁣
⁣
The echoes of God have been loud and clear during the past three weeks since Eden’s surgery. The echoes of prayers. The echoes of friendship. The echoes of healing. Worry has not held a place here and we are extremely thankful. 💛
