Oh my stars- oh my stars.
That's what I say when I'm excited. And I'm really, really, excited.
I mean so much so I'm having a hard time waiting to announce something that I have to wait to announce until next Monday. But it is hard to wait. I desperately want to give you a clue- a hint- a little something. But I can't. Just know that you will be so excited about what I will announce next week. At least I think you'll be excited. If you are not, just pretend you are.
Because friends do that you know. Like when they open an obviously regifted item- but we covered that yesterday so let's move on. Did I mention that I'm excited?
Okay- breathe. I am also excited about something we have going on today too! You have a chance to enter a contest to be published in the P31 Woman Magazine. This is a great step for any writer as our magazine is not only read by over 6,000 women each month but is also read by publishers! Last year one of our writers celebrated having a book published by Harvest House Publishers because of an article she wrote in the P31 woman Magazine.
So, here is what you should do:
* Leave a link to your blog in the comments section below. Also, put in your comment one sentence that describes what your article is about. Then post your article by Friday. We'll have a team of people reading your blogs this weekend to pick the winner. Not only will you have a chance to get published but it will probably drive extra traffic to your site if others are interested in your topic!
* Now, before you run off to start writing, or pulling your favorite blog post out and reposting it because it is one of the most favorite things you've ever written (which is perfectly fine and probably what I'd do)--- you must first read the writer's guidelines over here at Glynnis' blogsite. And leave her a comment too~
* Now, what if you don't have a blog on which to post your writing masterpiece? Go ahead and post in the comments below- the title of your article, a few sentences explaining what it's about, and an e-mail or website address by which we could easily contact you. If the topic and description is one that catches the publishing team's attention, we'll contact you.
We'll announce the winner on Monday. Along with my other very exciting thing--- that I'm very excited about--- but I think I might have mentioned that already.
And I'm sure you are wondering who the winner is from yesterday's book giveaway??? This was done in the most official, random method, I can assure you. The winner is--- Mel from Mel's World Blog- this girl seriously loves books! Hey, Mel let me know which one of my books you'd like to add to your collection.
Happy Writing!

Way cool!! I'll have to block some time off on Friday to do some blog hopping...
Too, what a fun and exciting opportunity - thanks Lysa!!
Very cool, Lysa. This afternoon is one of my writing blocks, so now I know what I'll be up to!
Blessings,
Elisa
Okay Lysa, I'm excited. I don't know why but if you're excited, I'm definitely excited. I will be doing some writing (or re-posting) this week. Thanks!
www.wrinkledshirts.blogspot.com
Oh this is very cool. I am not sure I have anything great enough to be published but I will certainly give it a try! Thanks for the opportunity.
Janel
Lysa!!! We have wait 5 days?!!! How are any of us going to get any rest now wondering what in the world you're so excited about! We'll be coming up with all sorts of wild thoughts!! heehee
Can't wait!
Wow! I am so excited. I have to meet my mentor this morning, but when I come back I'm going to read and re-read everything.
In the meantime, here's my blog site: www.mrsproverbs31.com; most people come to http://mrsproverbs31.blogspot.com.
Thank you for this opportunity.

Lysa, I'm working on an article right now about depression and motherhood: how to know you are depressed, steps to conquer depression and how to help a depressed friend crawl out of the pit. I'll post it Friday!
Lysa,
What a wonderful contest! Such motivation to record what God has done in our lives!
My article is entitled "Addie, Our Pet Rock" and deals with how the stones in Joshua 4 were the inspiration for the response of our family to a crisis. A few months ago our Goldendoodle Addie was very ill. I was worried that we would lose this precious pet who "dogged" my every footstep, as well as what this loss might do to the budding faith of my toddler and four-year-old. God worked through my fear to show me His will and how an Old Testament story could be put to use in our family today.
I do not have a blog, but I would consider it such a privilege, Lysa, if you would read my article. Thank you again for this impetus to write!
Celeste

Golly it is such a wild and exciting thought but makes me shutter to think of that big step.
I write about the chaos of having a large family that God uses to reach others.

The title of my article is "Watching UFC with Jesus". (UFC is Ultimate Fighting Championship, or mixed martial arts) It talks about how amazing God is and where our focus is (and should be). I don't have a blog (yet), so you can e-mail me if you're interested in reading the article. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Hi Lysa!
I am sooooo excited about this contest and opportunity to share what God is laying on my heart. You have been kind enough to view my blog, hisinvitation.blogspot.com, and I am inviting anyone who reads your blog to visit mine if that is okay with you.
For the contest, I would like to submit one of my three favorite devotional blogs - "Believe Big, Believe Him," "Madly, Deeply," or "If I Sat With You Today." It is amazing what happens when you ask God to bless you. I did that this morning and all kinds of blessings and opportunities are being showered upon me.
I pray that if nothing else, those who read His Invitation, will be blessed and moved by the love of God.
Enjoy!
WOW - you leave us hanging. I can't wait. As my family well knows - suspense kills me. I love encouraging women to look for God in their everyday lives. I would title my article, "Customizing your everyday, ordinary life to glorify God." Check me out at: www.alenesnodgrass.com, www.positivelyalene.blogspot.com
Can't wait! Can't wait!
I just posted "Gifts to the Future" at:
http://owlhaven.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/gifts-to-the-future-2/
In it I reflect on the really important gifts I give to my family.
Thanks for stopping by!
Mary, mom to 10
Oh fun!! I can't wait to read everyone's "articles".!!
Blessings!
Aw man! I don't want to wait until Monday!! Really, I need more patience :)
Question for you though, and I hope this doesn't come across as prideful because it's just as much for everyone else as it is for me.
I've read in some writing groups that most publishers want first rights (or not reprints) of an article for their magazine. I've also read debates on whether posting an article on a blog or website is really publishing it or not.
I think you are going to get some great articles and maybe you'll be able to pick more than 1 -- or maybe not, but I was wondering how that might affect the ones who aren't published in your magazine. Do you think other publishers would discount the article because it was published on a blog?
This is a great opportunity and I think it's absolutely awesome that you've opened this up. That thought had just been nagging me though :) With the majority of us being new writers, I'd hope we wouldn't do anything to hurt our options in being published in the future.
Oh, I was just going to read everyone else's then decided after you said you would just use an old post, I would too.
http://okanecorral.blogspot.com/2008/01/amazing-grace-how-sweet-sound.html
Wow Lysa! Now I'M EXCITED too :)
What a wonderful opportunity to share God's faithfulness in our lives with others! Thank you for having the contest :)
I would love for you to consider "Sixty Minutes to a Miracle". It's a piece I wrote 5 years ago this month after my mom suffered a major stroke and made a full recovery. God used this trial in our lives to once again demonstrate His everlasting love and faithfulness. I would be honored to be able to share it with others in the hope that they would be encouraged and uplifted by seeing what God can do in our lives. He is still in the miracle business, my dear mom is proof of that :) She's still going strong 5 years later!
I don't have a blog, but you can reach me at the email address below. THANKS again!!!

Hi there, thank you for this opportunity. My good friend referred me here, so I would like to submit her favorite post of mine. It is about loving yourself and your imperfections. My blog is all about staying home (and staying sane) with my two daughters. Thank you for considering, and thanks Erin for telling me about this!

You give so much with us,and I'm excited for the invitation to give back to the Proverbs 31 team. I do not have a blog to post on, but I have an article I'd love to share with you. Imagine gathering 5 women around the table as a daugher steps into a new stage of life ... age 13. The gifts of wisdom they shared as they unwrapped life lessons and draped prayers on their younger sister in Christ were truly treasures. Through this article, I'd love to share with you the five precious gifts they gave that morning.
What a great idea for a contest. My submission is here (http://buildingtheark.blogspot.com/2006/10/what-she-said-this-morning-we-decided.html)
and is a reflection on the wisdom passed on from the Godly women who have gone before us.
God Bless,
Jane
Looks like your team will be very busy this weekend. It's too good an opportunity to miss.
My site is www.amiesbraindump.blogspot.com
My article is "Cinderella should THANK Her Stepmother" and it is about service.
Thank you for this chance!
Ok, here's mine:
Potty Prayers: A Mother's Saving Grace
[ http://simplyhis.org/2008/01/16/potty-prayers-a-mothers-saving-grace/ ]
Thanks again Lysa and the P31 crew for the opportunity you've presented. Ya'll are a blessing to us!
I am now inspired to write about something that has been on my heart lately. My (future) book will be about people who are what I call "Bible Thumpers," what I think are the pros and cons about them, and what the Bible tells us about that behavior. I don't have a blog, but am thinking about lots of ideas to write about on one. My e-address is rusted222@verizon.net.
what an amazing opportunity. I would love to do it, but but am too afriad, ha ha!! What do I blog on? I a blog addict, journal addict, but for me its all about my life as a mom and wife wanting to serve God. sometimes I blog on events in our life and other days I blog on silly stuff or my so called deep thoughts!!
Lysa-
Thank you for the awesome opportunity to enter this contest. I have so much on my heart to share. My article will be about suffering from panic attacks and how God gives strength to those that are weak. I'll post it on my blog on Friday at www.awakentheheartministries.com
P.S. Can't wait until Monday!
Thanks again
Christie
This contest has motivated me to begin my own blog! It was much easier than I thought; now I'll just have to see how I can maintain posting!
You can view my article "Addie, Our Pet Rock" regarding a family crisis and the memorial stones in Joshua 4 at my brand-new blog:
http://cellybbusyathome.blogspot.com/
Lysa,
I am so excited too! I do not have a blog yet, but I do have a story to share. If you go to my website and click on my story and scroll down to the lower portion of the page you will see a brief story of our sweet precious little girl, Abigail Grace, who even though she lived for less than a day, impacted the life of our family for a lifetime, as well as others who watched us during that difficult time.
God is so amazing! I am so thankful that God taught me so much more about His love, grace, and strength, even while my heart was torn and weeping.

Title: My Mother's Voice
It's about how God spoke through my mother when I needed him to in the busyness of life.
(First Two Sentences)I was in such a hurry, that in this rush, I had taken my anger out on every single person in my home (that's 5.) I snapped at my husband and children, even the dog because I didn’t want to be late for my son’s first batting practice with a retired Major League Baseball Player.
Thank you,

Thank you so much for hosting this, Lysa!
My submission is here:
http://www.inpursuitofproverbs31.com/2008/01/celebration-of-life.html
What is it about?
This article is about having a desire to see the hand of God in everything, to always be aware of His presence, and to love and live life to the fullest.
Thank you for hosting this!
Hi Lysa,
I'm so excited about this contest and have an idea what your announcement will be on Monday. :)
My article is entitled "Everyday Blessings". Sometimes God's blessings seem sporadic, so what do I do in the in between times?
Here is the web address to my blog:
http://diggingforpearls.blogspot.com/
Thanks for this contest. God bless!
I forgot to share the topic of my post in my previous comment... I'll be writing about humility and the entertaining life lessons God has used to teach me about it!
My blog address is:
www.tinavega.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Okay, I'm back.
Here's the article: "Rise Up Darling".
It is about how God views a woman in seasons of her life.
You can find the article here:
www.mrsproverbs31.com
Thanks for your considerations.
Shoua
P.S. I am very excited. Cannot wait.
Lysa
What an exciting opportunity! I will write my personal testimony--which is mainly about God lifting me out of a huge pit of guilt, shame, depression and proving what a faithful REDEEMER He really is!
I never feel more alive than when I am sharing with others what He has done for me--the lessons He teaches me daily!
Thanks again for this opportunity!
In Him,

Seriously???
I won!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH! Thank you thank you thank you!
I will be happy and thrilled to have any book of your choosing...I trust you will be lead to the right one. Thanks!
Oh, by the way...we have some of the same "friends"...like Mary Southerland and Mary Nash from P31 Ministries...they are friends of mine from our old church down in Ft. Lauderdale. Small World, huh?
One more thing...count me in on the article...
http://www.melissamashburn.com
Haven't picked an article yet, but I haven't even gone to the other site to find out the "rules and such" either.
I am excited with you and can't wait!
Thanks again for the book (yep, I do love 'em)
xoxo,
Melissa
that would be led to the right one...I guess I was too excited to even type properly...
YEAH!!!!!!!!
Melissa
Oh my!!! I can't wait! I'll be seeking the Lord on what to submit...will let you know Friday! The funny thing is, just yesterday I felt the Lord lay upon my heart to submit an article to P31. Imagine my surprise when I logged onto your blog earlier this morning?! I've been thinking about it ever since. I mean, I can't get it out of my head! If this isn't confirmation as to what I'm supposed to do, I don't know what is! Even if I don't get picked, I know what the Lord wants me to do and I'm going to be obedient. Thanks for this opportunity, Lysa. I don't know if you realize just how gracious and giving you are. You, my blogging friend, are a gem! :)
Prayers and Blessings!
Rebecca
Great Question Lisa B-
After consulting with some people, typically if you write something on a blog it is not considered "published" and most editors don't have a problem with it. However, I'm sure there might be exceptions to this. so, the safest bet is to let your editor know that it has appeared on your blog. Then of course in the same breath you can add how many wonderful comments you got about it and it might actually help you and not hurt you-
Happy Writing Everyone- your ideas sound great.
And thanks to the many people who have posted a link back to this post on your blog so your readers can have a shot at this as well. Now that is some serious sisterly love!
And yes and one more thing--- I just decided I have to give you a hint about Monday's announcement. So, for those of you who want some random thing to ponder between errands and loads of laundry this weekend here goes---
"The biggest rock went boom when it hit me as I spoke loudly to my girls."
If any of you figure this out- I'll treat you to a Starbucks giftcard!!! If not, I promise you will all know on Monday.
Lysa,
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to submit an article idea. I realize you pre-plan much of your magazine so I am stepping out on a limb and submitting an idea with a Christmas theme.
The article is "Grace in the Midst of Doubts" and discusses how God so graciously touches us through times of doubt. (In this case, through the evangelism of a five-year old who believed his classmate needed to know more about Christmas than "just Santa Claus" and a mom who doubted.)
I can safely say the article touches on P31 principles three and seven.
Again, thank you for your consideration.
Kristen M.
kmspeaking@yahoo.com
Thanks Lysa for the clarification on that :) I hope to get many comments on my article -- good or bad, they will help me grow in my writing!
I'm getting psyched about Monday ... biggest rock? hit me? must be something about casting stones at sins -- so maybe being convicted of not yelling at the girls? or trying to tell them not to do something you yourself have been doing? I don't do coffee, but I love riddles :)
I must admit that my heart is pumping a tad bit harder. And can I just say that this whole blog thing is an amazingly sharp tool?
Wow.
Can I pitch a couple of articles? Improve my chances? Smile.
I've got a couple things burning in my heart. I'll post the title tomorrow.
Thanks Lysa!!!!!!
Oh and hey, I'm pretty sure I'm coming to the conference in June!!!!
Can't you give us until Monday? It's Wed. night and I don't have access to your site during the day and I work all day tomorrow and have worship team stuff at church tomorrow night and work all day on Friday and another thing Friday night . . . . PLEASE give us more time!
Lysa - The following link takes you to an article I had submitted earlier this month to Proverbs31 but I realized this might be a better way to present it and join in the blogging fun. It is about the importance of teaching your children to sing, even when you (I) can't carry a note. Thanks!
Lysa! I'm excited!! I have three thoughts-can't seem to get it off my mind today. I have also been praying about this and God brought to my mind two classes I use to teach a couple of years ago. I may not be able to pull these notebooks out until the weekend but here are the topics:
(1) "Jesus Wept"-looks at 9-12 stressors Christ faced in His journey and examines how He handled those stressors. Very scripture oriented.
(2) "Nutrients for the Body and Soul" looks at the levels of the food pyramid from a physical and spiritual perspective (I know you have nutritional items in your magazine). For example, the value of water and the Living Water of our Lord. I developed this for an Sunday evening class at my church about 5 years ago and I will need to condense and update! It would fit best in smaller articles over multiple months.
(3) the "Burnt Dinner Roll" blog from my site this month is a subject I would like to address further. I was reminded of this becasue I burnt the bottom of our rolls tonight for dinner (but my hearts as fresh as ever for my Lord!).
Okay...I hope I have not been too bold. It's just too exciting to think about!

Hi Lysa,
We met face to face, oh so many years ago at a CLASS event! I am an newly published author (Surrendering the Secret/Lifeway/2008) and very new to blogging, as a matter of fact, just found your blog last night! I was thrilled to revisit tonight and learn of your contest. The very reason that I have been searching and learning about blogs is for a book that I am writing. If I am blessed enough to be "in the running" in your contest, you will see why I am so excited to be a part of this. Please count me in!!
The title of my article (and my book) is "Are Pantylines a sign of Godliness?--Should Christian women wear Thongs?"
my blogsite is pantylinesbook.blogspot.com.
ps.I hope there are no typos in this, I have not figured out how to "spellcheck" in "commnets" yet!!
This post has been removed by the author.
Lysa,
Thanks for doing this. I've got a post in my sidebar (under my profile box) called Time Management 101. Obviously, it's about managing our time more wisely ;-)
Clicking on my commenter profile will get you to my blog.
P.S. My sidebar also has an audio of me speaking at a church event. Would love your critique!
Lysa -
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I just wrote a post on my blog that I titled "Just One Way". It's a fun story of a lesson I learned from my kids about accepting God's authority and direction in our lives. I hope you like it!

Oh rats! I wish I had the time to enter this contest, not that I would win, but it would be fun :) I hope everyone the best!
Hi Lisa,
I had been wanting to repost this subject on my blog.
It is about how God heals our brokenhearts.
http://praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com/2008/01/bring-god-your-brokenheart.html
I just realized that it was your book, "A Woman's Secret to a Balanced Life" that I used for our women's Bible Study years ago. They loved it and I actually brought Sharon in to speak at one of our meetings.
Small world!
Blessings,
Sue
Sounds like there are some wonderful article ideas out there. God has raised up a gifted bunch of women to bless others through their writing!
My article is called "Romance Your Spouse Without Spending A Dime: How to Have Successful Dates at Home." This article aims to share tips on how to feel like you're getting the experience of going out (even with children in the midst!), while saving money by staying at home. I can email it to you for your consideration if you'd like. cherylannhackett@yahoo.com
Blessings!
I first read Lysa's "Bathtub is Overflowing..." book while my daughter was recovering from open heart surgery a year ago.
Even as a seasoned mother of 9, there were still many lessons to be learned. Little did I know my teacher would be a 2 year old. Contact me if you want to know how saying "yes" to God brings richness and depth to our lives, even when events take an undesirable turn.

Hi Lysa and all,
My plan when I set up my blog called Godspots was to post about the different times I have spotted God working in some special way in my life and in those close to me. Haven't dug out the old journals to go back and compile them. But the article I'm sending is one that I wrote for my friend last month after she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
http://lpgodspots.blogspot.com/2008/01/pillar-of-cloud-by-day-lord-went-ahead.html
Can't wait for the big announcement.
Luanne
That is so weird that you would stop by my blog today, because a big fan of yours just alerted me to your blog yesterday! Yes, of course feel free to link up to my post about Lindsey--love her!
Love, love your writing style and if I can ever get past one of my own deadlines, I'm picking up a book--especially, if it can be read on the potty! In fact, I had to chuckle at your comment in your last post about typically writing 50,000 words. I just got a word count EXTENSION today from my publisher to go from 55k words to 75k words! Seems I just can't shut up!
Good to visit, girl, and keep up the good work. Our paths our bound to cross someday, but in the meantime, I'm honored to be blogging buds.
Okay Lysa, what kind of hint is that. I'm killing my brain cells thinking this hard at this late hour. And oh girl, do I love the Starbucks so I really want to figure this one out.
I've tried putting the puzzle together through some of your past posts and all I can come up with is that you still have the chicken nugget, one of the boys threw it at you while you were talking loudly to the girls and you decided to send one of your fellow bloggers to the She Speaks conference for free.
If this is the case then count me in.
My article is titled "Pick-Up Sticks" and it is about volunteering with small children in tow.
It can be found at: http://stretchmarkmama.blogspot.com/2008/01/pick-up-sticks_16.html
Hi Lysa,
My article is called "Adventures in Petsitting" and it is a humorous story about something that happened to me while trying to earn a little money while staying home with my children. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I thought it's worth a try. Thanks for doing this!
HI. I found my way here thanks to Mary at Owlhaven. I came to check out the contest but I think I"ll stick around for the great advice.
I'm submitting a post I wrote this past summer. Sometimes when we're in the thick of mommyhood and small people have us outnumbered, surrounded, and at our wits end, it's time to surrender and let the Holy Spirit lead us in new ways to make it through. That's basically what my entry is about.
Here's the url
http://shelaughsatthedays.blogspot.com/2007/06/help.html
Oh my heavens Lysa, I can't believe I spelled your name wrong! I'm so sorry!
Sue, but you can call me Soo.
Oooops! I forgot to leave the link to my article. If you click on my name it will take you to my blog where the article is posted, but this will take you directly to "Adventures in Pet Sitting" Thanks!

Ok, your riddle is driving me nuts too...I like 'wrinkled shirt ministries' comments about the chicken nugget-great idea!
Could your topic be related to rejected gifts conversation you had with your daughter and how Chirst, rejected by so many, truly is the best gift of all?
Is it Monday yet?!?!?!?!?
In His Graces~Pamela
Hi Lysa,
The article/blog entry that I'd like to enter for the contest can be found at this link:
http://cindybeall.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/building-a-man/
It is about a situation that occurred with my youngest son, the frustration I experienced and the truth that God shared with me. I then use this illustration as a tool to help challenge the reader to "not grow weary in doing good" as he/she perseveres in this thing called life.
I have not ever published it. You are welcome to use it in it's entirety as well as make any necessary editing. The word count is 769.
This is a great idea. How awesome for your team to do this for a budding author.
I cannot believe you are making us wait until Monday for this exciting news. I was hoping it was what I was hoping it was (clear, right?) until I read your cryptic comment.
Talking to "your girls" sounds like maybe you bought a new bra, but I can't believe you would announce that with such excitement on a blog. So I doubt those are "the girls" you were talking about. I'll be thinking on this all day, thanks a lot!

What a great idea! My post is When the Quest Becomes the Idol. It's about getting distracted in our "good works." Who hasn't done that? :-)
I look forward to reading all the good articles you're about to get!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Beth
I have two blogs and will post an article to each.
to www.HannahsHopeBook.com/jennisjournals.html I'll post about the heartache of infertility. I'm currently playing with the title "Harvesting Hope from Heartache" so we'll see what I come up with there.
Also at www.InnerBeautyGirlz.blogspot.com I'll post about letting our inner beauty shine, possibly some natural beauty tips and/or devotional thoughts on true beauty.
Guess I better get writing!!!
Hi Lysa,
How fun! Thanks for the opportunity. My topic is "Can I Learn to Love My Neighbor?" I share how a chance encounter with a rude stranger in a store challenged my commitment to "love thy neighbor." Small annoyances can often be the harder tests to pass.
I don't have a blog page, so please email me at wildirishprose@sbcglobal.net if you'd like to read the entire reflection.
My best,
Robin
Sounds like a fun challenge! I am in!
Much love in Christ,
Holly
Here is my link: http://crownlaiddown.blogspot.com/2008/01/faulty-mirror.html
Do I re-post it on Friday?
Sorry to say I don't have a blog - yet! So....
"Always With You -A true story"...how the Lord 'spoke' in a very personal, creative way - through a malfunction in my printer to be specific. The singular saying "ALWAYS WITH YOU" mysteriously printed on a single page of paper, letters half formed and upside down. The message? That whatever burden we may have, perhaps by turning it around and looking at life a little differently will allow us to see Him in our circumstances and be thankful for His presence.
Oh, I read more carefully :) I will post it on Friday again. It is about the mirror we use to see ourselves in every day.
Lysa, Thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment!! I was sooo Excited!!!! I called everyone I know to tell them!!
I have posted an article titled "Those Not-So-Still Small Voices". It addresses the challenge of being totally attentive to our children in the midst of life, what that teaches them and what we can learn from them if we will just pay attention.
Thanks so much for this opportunity!! It is so thoughtful of you to open this up to us eager aspiring writers.
Here is the link: http://www.freewebs.com/books-go-round/starrsthoughtjournal.htm
I LOVE P31!!
Love and Blessings,

Thanks for the great opportunity.
Insecure versus Secure-In, the insecurity of a minister's wife!

This is great, Lysa. I was able to hear you speak at my church Sisk this week. Thanks for visiting, I was very blessed.
Here is the link to my post. I wrote on what God can do through our obedience.
http://www.sabennett.com/wp/?p=1959
This is a great idea, Lysa! Thanks for the opportunity!
My post is about opening my eyes to the miracles that we can be a part of when we simply say yes to God.

My blog is a rerun from August back when we only had 5 kids :)
The title is Lesson Learned and it is about a parenting and how some techniques can backfire on you.
My blog "Table for Eight" can be found at http://HopeComesHome.blogspot.com
Thanks for the opportunity.
Great opportunity. Alot of times my blog just updates family of our activities, but I do have a couple of postings that I'd like you to check out one is called Goosebumps and Tears and it deals with hearing God's voice. Another one is called Coffee Grounds and Wafer Crumbs and it deals with finding the joy in everything!

Thanks! Jennifer
Hi Lysa!
I posted an article called, "Alphabet Songs" on my blog: http://sallyswords.braveblog.com. It is about the joy of being with your children as they discover life!
Hello Lysa!
I am new to your blog and very excited to stumble upon your contest here! I have been over to Glynni's blog and read the guidelines and also commented as well.
The post that I'd love the opportunity to submit is called 'Share your prayer' and it was originally posted to the blog on my church's website where I hopefully will begin to contribute more regularly. I also posted this to my blog found at www.beccagirlblogspot.blogspot.com
The name of my blog is 'BeccA's Buzz' and I'm beginning to post more along these lines. I have a tendency to post memes when I am not in the mood to be original. :)
I am excited about the contest, I must admit, I've never heard of the magazine...but I am interested now!
Thanks and have a nice week!
BeccA @ BeccA's Buzz
Hi Lysa, Have just posted a blog called, "In pursuit of new skills," which I very shly put forward. Have not written anything since school days!!!! My blog is Rachel's Rectory Ramblings and is at rachelrectorytowers.blogspot.com
Love,
Rachel.
Hi Lysa,
I want to include a post from December entitled, "Thoughts for the Season". It shares how so many times we are not aware of the circumstances of those that surround us on a daily basis and how we need to take time to speak a kind word, provide a need, or simply give a smile to those around us.
http://pursuingsimplicity.blogspot.com/2007/12/thoughts-for-season.html
I have been blessed today by your blog!
Praising Him in ALL things,

I've never done anything like this before so I am excited to submit my humble little piece...
http://asonflower.blogspot.com/2008/01/consumerism-vs-contentment.html
God teaches us even through garage sales! Thank You Lord!
Wow! This is going to offer some great reading over the weekend!
I would like to submit a portion of my worship journal posts. It's called "Worship Journal-The Power of Pure Praise".
Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Thanks for the opportunity Lysa! My article is about making time for solitude in our busy lives. It's called "Meeting God in the Whispers". You can read it at http://www.thelistenerspost.blogspot.com
I hope you enjoy reading this weekend, I'm sure there are lots of great postings out there! I'm looking forward to Monday, by the way!
Thanks again,

Lysa,
The link I gave you to my website in my earlier comment is not working, sooooo, I will try again. Here goes:
http://www.freewebs.com/books-go-round
Click on Starr's Thought Journal in the navbar on the left. That is my blog. I sure hope you get this message so I won't miss out on all the fun, and the chance to win!!
The info about my article is in my previous comment. The article is called "Those Not-So-Still Small Voices". It's about lessons we can learn from our children if we just take the time to listen.
Blessings,
Starr
Dear Mrs. TerKeurst,
Thank you for this opportunity and time in considering my writing for the P31 Magazine. My blog is:
http://blog.encouragedinheart.org
The writing I am submitting is, "Digging for the Nugget". It is about two things many women have and love - chocolate and emotions - and that God is in the center of both!
I believe this will encourage your readers and fits well into the First of the Seven Principles of the Proverbs 31 Woman. I give permission to use this writing in the format you deem worthy.
I would appreciate any feedback (if there is time remaining between finding your camera, wisely regifting and singing the
80's oldies but goodies to your kids!).
Very Respectfully,
Stephanie Fink

“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.” Colossians 2:2
Dear Lysa and Staff,
Hello! Thank you for the opportunity to post a piece for your review.
My blog address is: http://www.beamsoflightministries.blogspot.com/
The article is about my experience in recognizing and quenching spiritual dryness.
Yours and His,
Sanya
Wow, you have a lot of reading to do! What fun! :=}
I am submitting my favorite blog post. We moved to America 8 years ago and this post/article is about a ceramic bowl that I had painted and couldn't bear to leave behind in South Africa.
The post is titled "The Masterpiece", and you can read it here: http://sumijoti.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/the-masterpiece/

Lysa, and Glynnis, et al: Thanks for this fun opportunity. I'm posting about how the reality of a 22 year marriage is not quite the fulfillment of my expectations as a young bride in a puffy dress at the back of the church on my wedding day, but how our faithful God protected, taught, grew and established us in our marriage--an experience which we would now not change for the world! Please visit my post at http://www.2nd-cup-of-coffee.blogspot.com.
Hi Lysa!
Thank you both for the opportunity to submit my article, AND for the chance to discover so many other great blogs and articles!
My article is titled, "When Your Husband has a Bad Day" and gives each reader tips for helping HER husband through a bad day, or a string of bad days.
You can find the article on my author blog at www.shellyburke.net/blog (you can read excerpts of all of my books on the website!).
CONGRATULATIONS in advance on your great news, which you'll share on Monday. Somehow, I sense from your mood that "congratulations" are in order. :-)
Thanks again,
Shelly
In the final weeks before she died, my Aunt was living proof of the hope we have in Christ.

Thank you for reading my post.
Here is my article. (Oh, I stayed up too late last night and I'm squeezing it in now.)
It is at
http://amylbrooke.blogspot.com
It is called "The Determined Life" and it is about facing life's hurdles that come our way with faith and determination.
The Nativity Set is a short story that was written by my 12 year old daughter as a Christmas gift for Daddy.
http://denitrasden.blogspot.com/2008/01/nativity-set.html
Thanks for reading her story, which I posted on my site.
Can I be bold and submit a second article? :-)
This is one of my other favorite blog posts:
http://sumijoti.wordpress.com/2007/09/28/crumbs-from-the-table
It is about that side-lined-mommy feeling we get when our kids become teenagers, and we become less central in their lives.
This one might need some editing, there are some personal references to bloggy-friends in there and I am aware that some of the sentences just don't read as well as I would like them to. (Kind of like this one.)
Happy reading!
These aren't really articles but I thought I'd try...

Hi Lysa,
This is a post I wrote this last week called "Graceful." It's all about falling down on my face as a parent. The link is: http://fiddledeedee.net/2008/01/10/graceful/
Thanks!
My first visit to your blog and this is the opportunity awaiting me?! Thanks!
My blog is A Worthy Life @ www.morningstarr.typepad.com.
The article I would like to submit is The Friendship Counsel from Jan.16, a brief note on the privilege of counsel in godly friendships. As a wife and mother of 4 all within a very short time I still feel I am on a huge learning curve! Thank God for godly mentors to encourage and guide me with heaven's direction.
Dina
Hey Lysa,
You are one gracious (and perhaps sadistic) woman. (Is this really how you want to spend your weekend?!)
You know how there are some people you just can't connect with? The piece I'm submitting is called When Words Don't Come Easy and talks about how to deal with awkward relationships.
Thanks for this amazing opportunity.

The Next Step
Hooray! I have something.
To get there:
elainekjohnson.blogspot.com
It is entitled, "Not Just Any God, Not Just Any Girl"
It is somewhat of a "how-to"...how to enter into a vital, engaging, interactive relationship with Christ and the transformation that happens as a result.
Hi, Lysa!
I'm new to blogging. I've never been published. But I love to write about my quiet times. So here goes...
The title of my blog-article is "Finding My Voice", and it's about how my voice lessons are bringing me closer to God.
I'm at lisaroszler.blogspot.com. You can email me at lroszler@carolina.rr.com.
Thanks for the opportunity! I have much to learn and far to travel, but I have taken the first step and I am totally excited about the journey!
By the way, count me in with the Kennedys, too. (1963!)
Lysa and Proverbs 31--
My awareness of where I place God in my life and heart led me to write about my:
Idolatry in Marriage. (http://repentancenfaith.blogspot.com/2008/01/idolatry-in-marriage.html)
Now I'm off to read everyone's articles!
What an amazing opportunity!

Thank you!

Oops! I need to clarify something..it's the first post on my blog and is dated January 17.
Thanks and sorry!
Dawn
OK .. tried this once ... I am going to try again!!!!
My article is entitled, "God's Unexpected Plans". It is about my journey through cancer and 2 back surgeries. It's hard to say everything in such a short post when it comes to cancer and how God blesses you with a gift of a little girl.

Hi Lysa,
My submission is a piece about two women who have impacted my life in the most beautiful way.
http://cometothetable.blogspot.com/2007/04/two-reflections-one-life.html
Thank you for providing this opportunity
Just in case I'm supposed to post here and not on today's (1/17) post. My article is entitled "Miss Independent? Not Anymore!" It's about giving up the worldly things to marry the man God planned for me to marry. What I discovered was everything I gave up doesn't come close to comparing to what I gained!

Hi Lysa,
How exciting! I would like for you to consider an article I wrote to "Remove the Scum." It shares how the Lord lead me through cleaning house to clean out sin in my life and encourages us all to do the same.
It is found at

Thank you!
Blessings in Christ--
Hi Lysa,
Thanks to you and Glynnis and the P31 Woman magazine for this opportunity to submit one of my favorite posts for consideration for publication in your magazine.
My post, "Filling the Dumpster," contrasts the transitory nature of the material treasures of this world with the eternal treasure of Jesus Christ, poignantly illustrated by the dumpster filled with the possessions of my husband's grandmother upon her death.
My post may be found here:
http://lisa-writes.blogspot.com/2008/01/filling-dumpster.html
Thanks for your consideration!
Blessings to you!

Thank you!

This is exciting! How fun to go to all these womens blogs too!
My submission is titled "My Security".
It chronicles the day I finally accepted God's forgiveness over my abortions and how I instantly saw my first born child as a gift.
You will find it here on my blog

Thank you for giving me a reason to write and blog about something really important to me. I am new to blogging and have found it to be a struggle to know what to write, and to put myself out there. This contest gave me the courage and inspiration to write about something that matters to me and I hope can inspire others as well.
My post is called "Lessons I am Learning" and it is about how busyness has affected my relationship with my Heavenly Father.
Thank you!
Love in Christ

Hi Lysa,
Thanks so much for this great opportunity! I wanted to share my unforgettable memories about mom's recovery from cancer in Venezuela.
blog: adrianamorales.typepad.com
entries titled: "Venezuela, Part I -IV", "Blessings from Venezuela", and "Turning Point".
contact: adrianabcba@yahoo.com
Lysa,
I forgot to say that you may want to check the October 2007 entries. You will find the "Venezuela" entries quicker.
I happen to be one of those that does not have a blog spot....I also happen to be commenting on this day....two days late.
I am being obedient to the Lord in what I am about to do so what do I have to lose except my stomach to nerves?
My Topic is called "Running Scared"
I remember having dirty hair and clothes that didnt fit. I must have smelled like cigarettes because my mom was a heavy smoker. She also drank all day and did every drug you could imagine. I had to get her out of the shower early in the morning when she would pass out after coming home from the bar. She left me home alone on a nightly bases. I was only five or six, but I knew that if I faked that I was alseep, I could watch her leave and not be afraid that she was gone when I woke.
I was told to send the heading of my article and a few sentences....I hope this is enough.
Email address is mrs.desmond@yahoo.com
I'd love for you to consider one of my posts, "Lessons from the Left Field Wall" (http://john1010.blogspot.com/2004/10/lessons-from-left-field-wall.html) from my blog, Life to the Full (http://www.john1010.blogspot.com). This was one of my very first blog posts, but one that I reread quite often and continue to identify with. It's about waiting on God's best, which is something that I often struggle with, as I am not the most patient person!
Thank you for the opportunity to share our work with other writers, and for sharing your own expertise with us.
Hi Lysa,
Thank you for your comment yesterday. It was very encouraging to me!
I would love this post to be considered.
This is one of my early posts, but a truth that God taught me during a very sweet time in my life. My husband was baptised in September and this is a tidbit of our journey there together. It is about seeking God and what a full life means to us now versus before we sought God.
http://dandeliondayz.com
The post is called
Seek and You will Find!
I reposted it today.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!
Hi Lysa,
What a wonderful opportunity! My trip to the She Speaks conference back in June will always be a highlight of my life!
I have re-posted a favorite entry for your contest on my blog...Ponderings From Picket Fence Cottage. The link is:
http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/picketfencemom/463705/
It's called 'Pictures and Prayers At The Kitchen Sink', and it's simply a short entry about using our time (during an everyday mundane task) to uplift our loved ones in prayer. I guess it's a 'reminder to remember'!
Thanks again for this opportunity!
Blessings,
Amy O.

Hi Lysa & Glynnis,
My article is up at my blog. Here's the link: http://www.extravagantgrace.net/2008/01/viewfinder-faith.html.
It is entitled, Viewfinder Faith, and is about learning to follow Jesus.
Thanks for this writing opportunity. Putting these thoughts on paper allowed God to really cement this tender lesson He's leading me through!
Blessings, extravagantly,
Elisa
P.S. Thanks for the encouraging prayers for the girls I'm working with. It is obvious that many knees are being bruised for this next generation. I'm awed by what God is doing in their lives, right before my face. What a privilege!
Hi Lysa,
Thanks so much for this opportunity. I have been considering sending something to the P31 Magazine for awhile. I'm looking forward to returning to the She Speaks conference this year too - on the writers track!
My post is "Oh I Wish I Were an Oscar Meyer Weiner - Oh I mean I Wish I Were Changed more by my Redeemer." Come check it out. It's on my blog Signs, Miracles and Wonders
http://signsmiraclesandwonders.blogspot.com/
It's about making others hunger and thirst for Christ with our lives. I hope you like it.

Thank you Lysa for giving us this opportunity to share our hearts. Our blog is about our life here in NC. I write about anything and everything from what the kids say and do; to the crazy things that I do :)
My post is about learning to trust and lean on God. About taking the “valley” experiences and growing and learning through them; to come out stronger on the other side.
Thank you for reading :)

After a whole lotta prayer... I've decided to throw something that I've written, but been too scared to share with the masses on the internet, into the proverbial hat... :)
It's called "When We're Unsure About Our Ability to Go" in which I talk about how we're given a mission from God to go and make diciples of all nations but how sometimes we're scared or don't think that WE are capable of doing so.
Actually, I think it would be better entitled, "Just call me Moses" but... well, I should've put some more thought into it... :)
You can find it here...
http://www.desperatelyseekingsanity.com/2008/01/18/when-were-unsure-about-our-ability-to-go
Wow...you are going to have a lot of reading to do...how fun.
My piece is called That's Life and it is about being present to what God brings into our lives...the mundane, the hard things, the unexpected.
Thanks for doing this...it's a nice and welcome nudge...

Lysa,
This contest is just soooo like you! You seem to always find a way to challenge us to grow in our service to Him.
So, I am posting three short devotional type articles. The first one is entitled, "Poo-Poo Prayer," and is about what can be learned about our relationship with God, through potty training a child. The second, which may be good for the edition prior to Mother's day, is entitled, "Mom's Best Gift," and is about how my Mother's passing brought me back home to the loving arms of my Savior. And finally, my third piece is entitled, "Me do," and relates yet another example of how my son constantly challenges me to grow in my walk with the Lord.
Blessings to you Lysa, and good luck to everyone!
I do not have a blog. My article is titled, "Are You Her Mother?" It is about others seeing only the differences between myself and my daughter. I talk about how God has used this challenge to build my character to make me a better mother and a better person. My email address is mlb@springmail.com. Thanks for this opportunity, Michelle
Hi Lysa!
This is such an awesome opportunity so thank you!
I'm submitting a revised version of an archived post. It's called "Good Cooker" and is on my blog right now at http://www.leliachealey.blogspot.com
It's about how the love Jesus has for us never changes no matter what we have cooking in our lives.
Have a blessed weekend~happy reading!
There are some wonderful topics so I'll be visiting blogs and reading this weekend too. :)
Many Blessings~
Lelia
Wow! I am so glad I found this and just in the knick of time to get in on it. Here is my post http://www.beautybydesignonline.com/2008/01/18/dream-her-very-own-dreams/ The article is entitled Dream Her Very Own Dreams, it is a mother-daughter article.
Thanks for the motivation I needed to get some more serious writing done. I actually found a topic I'm passionate about and put together an article for you. Happy reading!

Hi all!
My favorite article is one that is more timely in the fall. However, I thought that you might enjoy or at least identify with this. The article is called School Year's Resolutions and it includes my ambitions for the upcoming school year as well as tips for focusing on what really matters.
God bless-
Hi Lysa,
This is so exciting. Thanks for offering this opportunity.
I would like to submit a blog writing I entitled "Soaring". It's my journey of exchanging my Doctorate of Fear for Faith and learning to make personal all that God has made possible. It can be found at www.princessjoyful.blogspot.com
Thanks for reading it. Bless you.
Lysa,
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I would like to submit a blog post that is entitled, "A Cup of Encouragement".
Scripture says that we are to encourage one another and build one another up, my post emphasizes the importance of encouragment and how one small cup, so easily give, can make a difference.
I can be found at:

I hope it doesn't matter that the topic of my entry ended up being different from what I had originally said it would be! I decided to post about my fear of submission and what God showed me--it's called "Trust and Obey"!

Hi my name is Charlene and I loved your devotion on surrendering totally to God.
I'm learning to trust the Lord right now and wanted to thank you for letting me know that It may take tears but a whole lot of obedience too.
My Church Living Faith Christian Center in Pennsauken just told us in order to learn anything from God I must get into his presence
and everyday I get into his presence I learn something new
Now the practical just like you is what I need now and I get scared of the unknown sometime too.
Hi Lysa,
"The Case for Color" is a story about how my decision to dye my hair almost landed me in the psychiatrist's office, but instead.. (you'll have to read the story for the rest!).
