Reader Survey Results (and the winner!)
Thank you to all of you who participated in my Reader Survey last month! I heard from 171 of you and your feedback was extremely helpful. My goal and my desire in everything I write – whether it’s on this blog, or in my books, or even in the messages I prepare and share at retreats and conferences – I want to meet you where you are, encourage you in your journey, and point both of us to the hope we have in Christ through all of it!
Congratulations to Brooke M. from North Carolina!
Congrats to Brooke! Your survey was chosen as the winner! You will receive the Love HIS Way prize pack – copies of My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife and My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife AND that adorable Laundry sign! Enjoy!

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE COMMENTS YOU SHARED
“I just started reading all your books and I have noticed a change (for the better) in my life. Just wanted to say thank you.”
“You and your story of becoming a P31 wife and mother was so inspirational to me! I am trying a similar experiment… let’s see how it goes!”
“I appreciate your commitment to writing stuff that helps military spouses. We had a military spouses bible study at our church that after one year they stopped doing because they felt it made non military spouses feel left out. We loved your stuff so much we decided to keep it going outside of our church. Right now we are going through the Proverbs 31 woman book right now and it is wonderful. Thank you for what you do to help keep us moving closer to God.”
“I am so grateful for the experiences you share. It is the first time I learned that Christians are not expected to perfect!”
and my absolute hands-down favorite one….
“You have a great blog! A lot that helped me. I first found you when I wanted to throw a pillow at my sleeping husbands jerky face one night. Instead, I googled “when your husbands being a jerk”, I found your blog and it was just what I needed to hear. I was part of the problem as well, go figure. You reminded me that I can’t change his jerkiness he may be displaying at that moment but I can change myself and my attitude towards him. Thank you :)”
Thank you!
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my reader survey. I have another one ready to go, if you’d like to participate! To see the prize pack and the survey, go here.
Until next post, I’ll be busy working on new content just for you, and hopefully still saving one husband’s jerky face from a pillow at a time. HA!!
