winter’s end giveaway

Hello, friends!

I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway for a while now, and thought that late February would be a good time to do so for two reasons:

1.) After Valentine’s Day, there just aren’t that many fun things to be celebrating! The weather is nasty, spirits tend to be low…of course a good book or two would help.;)

2.) The books I’d like to share with you would make good late winter/early spring reads, as they’re written for those who are struggling to find joy, hope, and beauty in their current life circumstances.

I’d like to send a book (and maybe even a handwritten poetry card??) to two of you!

One person will receive a copy of Ruth Chou Simon’s Now and Not Yet. Goodness, I loved this book. I think you will, too.

Another person will receive a copy of yours truly’s book of poetry: Beauty Even Here. I’ve gabbed about this one a lot already, but looking through it the other day I remembered that there are a few poems in here that make it perfect for Lent and Holy Week! So there you go.

To enter:

Simply leave a comment on this post! Bonus (not actually, but I’ll be proud of you!) points if you share one thing that you like to do to make the drearier days of the year more lovely, or share a book, song, or Scripture that helps point you to hope and beauty.

If you do want a REAL bonus point, just make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter and let me know that you are in the comments!

I’ll pick two winners on March 13th and reach out to you in the comments.

Stay the course, friends! The days are getting longer, and the day is drawing nearer when Christ will return for His Bride. There is always something beautiful up ahead. ❤
