CONTEST: I Heart Shadow Letters.

It's a Smartt Designs giveaway!



It's simple, but who could resist a free piece of art designed and hand painted by Cassie Smartt herself?! ;)


If you would like to be in the drawing (good old fashioned "draw a name out of a hat"), you must become a subscriber of this blog and leave a comment below this post saying "I heart..." and tell me something you love. I will draw the winner on April 13th (a week from tomorrow). 


I do get page views from countries outside of the US, but I am sorry, the winning address must be inside the US. (I will get the address of the winner when the name is drawn.)


Thank you for subscribing and entering in the contest!


With love,
Cassie

Sons of Shamgar: The Unknown Warriors.

The Sons of Shamgar is the self-named men's league softball team for Christian Heritage Church.


There is only one verse that acknowledges Shamgar: Judges 3:31, "After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel." On an individual level, Shamgar is just a man... a sinful, unworthy man like each of us. But God uses him in a mighty way. Only when we zoom out and look at the big picture can we see that Shamgar's life and triumph were for the greater glory of God's plan. The same can be said about each of our lives when we live for God. He will use us in mighty ways that we can not even imagine. God used this unknown warrior to defeat 600 men... something Shamgar could not have done himself without the help of his Savior, the same One who is our loving Savior. 


I made this for this amazing softball team. :)


The background is the entire passage of Judges 3 (the big plan), ending in red with the verse about Shamgar (only one piece of the puzzle).





With love,
Cassie
