Do I have a soul-stirring treat for you!
Nichole Nordeman has sold over 1,000,000 CDs. Her song Legacy has been very near and dear to me over the years {tissues, please}, so I'm super excited that she's back again with her new album, The Unmaking. And yes, I've got one brand new copy for a reader who leaves a comment on this post by Friday, September 11th at 7pm {eastern, USA & Canada only.}
*** Pssst ... think Christmas, friend ... if you can keep yourself from ripping open the cellophane!
If you've ever been a pretender when all around you is crumbling, you need to hear the gentle reminder that God is in the rubble with you and that He wants to love you right in the middle of the whatever disaster has come your way.
Nicole muses, 'Before things in our lives can be resurrected and given new life, certain things must die. Before beauty blooms in spring, roots must do the hard work under the hard frozen soil of winter. Before you renovate and re-build, you tear down the parts of the structure that are weak or damaged or dangerous.
Before we make, we must unmake.'

Beautiful song - beautiful analogy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for kicking off this little giveaway, Teresa!

Thank you for the reminder that God is in the business of re-making us, He has HIs own dreams and plans for us, that are far better than ours. That is so comforting to me.
DeleteI'd much rather be fully and completely embraced in His plans than distracted by my own!
DeleteMold me, make me, dear Lord!
I'm glad you're here, Susan!
Although Nicole is definitely not my cup of tea (as you probably know) I am all for passing it on to someone who does like her music. As for Unmasking...we all need to be real.
ReplyDeleteJust think of this as kicking off your Christmas shopping, Bill!

Thank you for visiting my Blog. This is a wonderful song, especially the video. (Much better than my trailer videos, I tell you).
ReplyDeleteShould I win this competition; please give the CD to the next person who comments here.
God bless you for all your good works.
I love when someone from another country jumps in to the party, even though the 'rules' keep them from being in the running for the giveaway.
DeleteYou're a real sport, Victor!
;-}
Linda, I love this song so very much! Why am I not surprised that you do also? :-)
ReplyDeleteKindred spirits, yes?
DeleteThere's alot of that going on in this little online community! God has a lovely way of knitting hearts together, even from afar ...
I'm glad you're here!
As a young girl, I grew up listening to Nichole Nordeman. I am so excited that she has another new album and I cannot wait to hear it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for jumping right on in, Lauren! Your name's in 'the hat'!

Like the thought of unmaking before God can remake.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the song!
Glad you're here!

Powerful words from Nicole! She has a lovely voice that is matched by her beautiful lyrics. Thank you for this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love a good giveaway, don't you?
DeleteThis is just plain fun!
;-}
Oh boy that is the story of my life!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing ya', girl ...

Wow thank you for sharing this song! I feel like this is exactly what happening in my life right now. This year has been a year of change for me. We move often with my husbands career and have been here a year. In that year my children have changed schools and are entering the teen years, my husband is changing careers, my father passed away suddenly from pancreatic cancer.... I've questioned God about why everything is happening at once. What I see from the song is he is really making me. I feel like I'm broken wide-open and now I can say it's because I'm in the remaking
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I don't have any CD's from Nicole, how fun is this? My birthday is next week, so this would be a good 'happy birthday to me' gift :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings friend,
Ceil
