And the Winner of the Doorposts Charts is...
Oh how I wish I could share these wonderful charts with each and every one of you! Thank you all for your help in making this giveaway a success. The comments you left here on my blog were a real blessing to me.
I was amazed to see the number of emails that were coming in yesterday (though the children were singing at the county fair, my trusty Android phone kept showing "new email"). Last night I clicked on Doorposts' Facebook page and realized they had posted this giveaway. Thanks Pam and Daniel and the whole Forster family for not only sponsoring this giveaway (and promoting it), but for dedicating yourselves to producing these fantastic products to teach us parents how to apply Scripture in order to discipline, disciple, and character train our children. You have benefited my family in so many ways and I am eternally grateful to you!
Now for the winner...

I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog. My husband and I have recently returned to Christ and have realized we have been raising MONSTERS! I am encouraged that maybe it's not too late to turn things around. There are so many things on Doorposts I would love especially the book on dating and courting (My oldest is eleven and already feeling pressure to date!) Thank you so much for sharing this.

I have to tell you this; as I clicked "choose winner" I began praying that the Lord would hand-pick the winner; someone who would REALLY benefit from these charts. Congratulations Cassandra; I KNOW you will be blessed! I'll be contacting you for your mailing information.
I have been realizing that in order to be more like God you first need to know Him. I mean really know Him. So how do you get to know God??? It seems like an impossibility. Then one night it hit me like a ton of BRICKS.
Let me give you a little background on me. I'm a reader. I LOVE to read as a child I would escape in my books. I have traveled around the world probably three times in books that I have read. I can devour a novel in two days. One if I hyper focus lol. But SHAMEFULLY I have never read the entire Bible from cover to cover. I have read certain books of the Bible and verses here and there but never have I sat down to curl up with a book and that book be Gods word.
God has used that conviction to inspire me to correct it. He has also lead me to start in the New Testament so that I may know him more clearly. Who better to teach us who God is than his only Son!
I own a Nook and I do most of my reading on it because it is light and easy to take along with me. So my search was on for a free KJV of the Bible compatible with my Nook. It took me about 10 minutes to find it and install it.
For the last 2 days I have been using my free time to delve into the Word of God. What a Blessing!!! Thank you Lord for all of your blessings and for your gentle teaching ways.
Forever Praising the Almighty God,
Cassandra
How convicting! Shamefully, I have never read the entire New Testament, let alone the whole Bible. I need to commit to do this as well. I began a Good Morning Girls group a couple of months ago, which has helped me be in the Word daily, but it is only a verse or sometimes a passage. At least I have gotten back in the groove of rising early to spend time with the Lord. We have 1 more week in this session till we take a 6 week break. I think I'll begin my journey through the New Testament then. Thanks for the suggestion!
