This weekend, on my birthday, we’re spending 3 days, 8am-5pm, in DHS foster/adoption training. Sounds like a blast, huh?! It will be a blast someday if we’re able to add another little lamb to our flock, but for today it doesn’t sound like much of a party. So, I thought we’d just throw a little online party here instead; and you’re invited!
I’ve always thought the best birthday parties are the ones where the guests get gifts. Last weekend we took the kids to one such party and the 18-year-old birthday girl gave sand-pails filled with toys to our kids! They spent the entire time happily playing with their toys so I actually got to hold hands with my husband and eat a massive chocolate cupcake by myself. Now that’s a good birthday party.
So, I thought for my birthday party we’d give you gifts. And since I’m a book-lover, the gifts are: books galore. And since I now have two 3s in my age, we’ll do this in 3s:
TODAY only, my three e-books are FREE!
- Plenty: 31 sips of joy for moms everywhere
- Let In Light: His truth every morning for 31 days
- Friendship: A gift to give
Plus, I still have some hardcover copies of Unfinished: Believing is only the beginning by Richard Stearns, president of World Vision. So click here to get your free e-books, and if you’d like a chance to win Unfinished, leave a comment and we’ll pick THREE winners tomorrow!
(And yes, you can download e-books even if you don’t own a Kindle, just click “Available on your PC” or “Available on your Mac” just above the “Give as Gift” button on the righthand side of the Amazon screen–and click the gift button to give as many copies as you like! Thanks for reading.)

Thank you so much for the free books! Your blogs and books have blessed and nurtured this grandma immensely, and the ripple effect happens from that (-; I PTL for your endeavors towards being a FP/adoptive parent, and pray that God will bring His best plans for your family to fruition.
Happy Birthday!
What a great giveaway!
Happy Birthday Kari! So happy to hear you are in foster care training. Ford and I were trained last year, but right before our final meeting, we found out I was pregnant! We had to postpone, but are planning to finish the process at the beginning of 2014. Look forward to hearing how God uses your family.
Happy birthday, Kari! (:
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day and may today be just the beginning to another wonderful adventure in God’s plans for your life!
It sounds like you’re starting off on an exciting new journey! Hope your birthday is full of surprise blessings! Thanks for your generous heart!
Happy Birthday! I just stumbled upon your blog today for the first time. Thank you for the free e-books Kari! I look forward to reading them. I also plan to read your book Faithfully Frugal. I will soon have the great privilege and blessing to be a stay at home mom in the near future to my one year old son. It’s a little scary going from two incomes down to one. I am preparing our budget now, and am very excited for the future. God taught us A LOT about money when my husband was in seminary 10 years ago and we were living off of very little. I look forward to adding your blog to my list of “reads”. Blessing to you and your family!
Huge ABUNDANT birthday blessings loved one. Look forward to continued celebration of you this weekend:)
Birthday love to you, Kari. You are a blessing to. Me and so many. May God shine His light on your foster family training.
Happy Birthday, Kari! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget during the boring parts of your training to think about the fun times you’ll have with the next littles ones that come into your home. I have all the other three books (thank you!) and have really enjoyed them. Here’s hoping I win the World Vision book!
Happy birthday!! Thank you for your generosity!!! I just love your writing and thank you for doing it.
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day and thank you for blessing so many with your words.
Happy Birthday Dear Friend and God bless you for taking those classes! Also, tomorrow is my man’s 30th birthday! I pray we both have a Christ-filled weekend!
Thanks for the giveaway, Kari! Happy Birthday!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Have a wonderful birthday Kari!! You have one amazing heart for Jesus.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARI!
Thanks for sharing the sacred mundane of how God works in your life, with all of us! Your words have been a blessing to so many! I’ve taken advantage of the free e-books, but would love a chance to get the new book from Richard Sterns!
Thanks for sharing on your birthday weekend!!
Happy Birthday!!! I wish you the very best for your birthday. I cannot express how much your blog ministers to me on a weekly basis. Thank you for continually pointing my eyes toward Christ in the midst of the mundain.
Kari; First, Happy Birthday! I stumbled across your blog when a friend shared the wonderful story of how God worked in the lives of you and Jeff to create a marriage working for His glory on Facebook. I was floored. Your words inspired me, the Holy Spirit spoke through you, and I found myself praying and asking the Lord what exactly He was trying to speak to me through you. Since then, I’ve visited your site daily (well three times a week) for each posting. They always encourage, challenge, and inspire me. Most of all, the Lord uses you in ways you can’t even imagine! Thank you! I’m blessed that that friend shared your story, and that God pressed on my heart to read it. I hope your special day is one that is filled with many blessings in ways you may not even expect and that the Lord touches your heart, that it’s a day filled with joy. Thank you for being a strong, courageous woman of God!
Happy birthday!! And thanks so much for the books! I already had Plenty and Let In Light and I absolutely love them. They are so encouraging and real. I read a passage every morning in my quiet time. 🙂 Can’t wait to read Friendship!
How exciting.. the thought of adoption or foster care. That’s something we’d like to do someday. Although I’m not sure which.. 🙂 Hope it’s going well!
Happy Birthday Friend!
