Calling all Military Wives....

I had the honor of receiving “Faith Deployed – Daily Encouragements for Military Wives” and I have to be honest with you as crazy and stressful as my life has been of late with health issues, business issues and then with hubby return for his R&R and then him leaving again – I kind of put the book on a shelf and that is where it sat!!! WHAT WAS I thinking?!?!

As much as my family and friends want to understand and sympathize with me they really do not understand the daily challenges and struggles of being a military wife. Much less being a military wife with a deployed husband.

I have to tell you I was so struck by the honesty and the willingness to talk about REAL issues and real concerns that I struggle with daily as a military wife. And to discuss them from a Christian point of view and then to back them up with scripture! WOW!

If you are a military wife, girlfriend or fiancée I HIGHLY encourage you to get this book and get it NOW! Besides the fact that it is a very quick daily devotional that deals with a huge gamete of military life issues each section has an “ask” and “pray” section which I found had me thinking about the devotional all though out my day! I feel encourage that I am not alone. That there is someone else out there that understands my fears and struggles and who is willing to encourage me and remind me that though God’s word and with God’s help I CAN face and overcome anything – including deployment!

In addition to the book, there is a website that you can follow with devotions, contest, book reviews and a ton of great resources!! Make sure you check it out HERE!

Thanks Jocelyn for understanding my struggles, concerns and issues and for “Getting” what I am going through! I now feel like I can face each and every day of this deployment with those who understand me and with the word of God as I make my way through this devotional.

Until Next Time!

FREEBIE FRIDAY!!!

Happy FRIDAY!!!! And to make it an even better Friday it is FREEBIE FRIDAY!!! And to make it even better than that - (SUE you are going to be happy).....

Today's FRIDAY FREEBIE is.... (This is where you imagine the drum roll)... the PUMPKIN FACES Mix and Match that I previewed yesterday!!!!!

I am loving this file... there is a ton of things you can do with it... make your own templates for your Jack-O-Lanterns, maybe you don't want to actually "Cut" your pumpkin - so then you could cut your faces out of vinyl and stick them on your pumpkins. How about cutting the faces out of the front of a note card and making your own "You got Booed" cards? OR how about cutting your faces you create out of a paper bag and making your own luminaries? Oh sooo many possibilities!! (To be exact there are over 1700 faces that you can create with this mix and match!!!!

And just think for today and today only... you can download this design for FREE!!! But now here is the fine print... Please note that this design is covered by my TOU (terms of use). If you do not have a copy of these TOU please make sure you download it HERE before downloading the freebies!

This design is only available for a short period of time - once it is no longer available here it will be available in my section of the VDBC Store for purchase!

Please do not share this file. If you know someone who might like to have it, then send them HERE to get it!! (Thanks sooo much!)

SORRY DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR FREE
If you are interested in purchasing this design it will be available at VDBC.

Also if you are looking for more "Halloweenish" designs check out these two design that I just uploaded to the VDBC Store....

Both are on sale for 30% off until Monday! (Just click on the photo to take you straight to the store!!!)

Hope you have a great weekend!! I am going to be uploaded some more files to the store (both new and old) so make sure you check back on Monday for an update of what is going on (and a peek at what's new!!!)

Until Next Time!
