1 Girl Nation CD: Review/Giveaway- Closed

Oh be careful little ears what you hear. That may be a simple verse to a child's Sunday school song, but believe me, it does matter what our kids listen too. My daughter is 6 and her friend that we take to school and pick up daily is 4. We have been listening to a new CD this week in the car. I have to tell you, hearing them singing about being "Daddy's Girl" and "Living for Jesus while their Young" is certainly more appealing than some guy singing to them about a girl with pretty brown eyes with a magazine figure shaped like a bottle. Just my opinion. Of course I am the guilty mother that doesn't really always pay attention and know the lyrics to songs, just a few words. I MUST pay more attention.

Can I just say, I HAVE paid attention this week and LOVE 1 Girl Nation!!! I love that my girl loves them. I even received a text from our little friend's mom asking me what the Daddy song was- believe me this song will be your little/big girl's and husbands favorite!

"Landing in the space where One Direction meets TobyMac, 1 Girl Nation is an exciting blend of upbeat pop music, with lyrics that are totally focused on living life for God, even while you’re young. 1GN, as they’ve already been dubbed, stars Carmen, Kayli, Kelsey, Lauryn Taylor and Lindsey, five girls with a passion for telling their fans about Christ through their music. Their first single, “While We’re Young,” can be heard on radio stations across the country and their self-titled debut album is available now!"

Listen for yourself!



Not only did I get a copy to review, but I also get to bless one of my readers with their very own copy of the 1GN CD. This CD is for preteens, teens, and young adults (as well as parents, too!) Who wants it? Just say "ME" in a Disqus comment! Bonus entries are available and encouraged. You will definitely want to be following these girls on all their social media sites!

FFH~ One Silent Night CD Review & Giveaway (Downloadable Version)

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you shop, you hear the sounds of Christmas cheer being played through the sound systems to get everyone into the buying spirit. I personally do not start playing my Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving. No not a scrooge, but Fall is my favorite time of the year and I like for it to last until my Turkey induced coma is over.

But, that doesn't mean that I haven't taken the opportunity to listen at least once, okay three times to this fantastic new CD by FFH.

FFH.

FFH stands for Far From Home. 

It consists of original founding member Jeromy Diebler and his wife Jennifer. The original band was founded in 1991 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. FFH took a break in 2006 and didn't reappear until 2008. 

Jeromy and Jennifer chose God's direction at that point for their family. 

In 2007, Jeromy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and their daughter was born.

I think this quote from Jeromy is tremendous, “FFH is a part of our lives again, but it is just a part,” Jeromy insists. “We are determined to live the kingdom lifestyle of putting our relationships first. Selling albums doesn’t fulfill you. It doesn’t comfort you when you are lying in bed at night after being diagnosed with MS, while your wife is seven months pregnant. The fact that you’ve sold a million albums means nothing. It is weightless. What does mean something is that your family is with you, being Jesus to you.” 

Wow, just wow. If that isn't a strong statement about how the way order is supposed to be, I don't know what is. God, Family & Job!

Now you want to know about this fantastic new CD that FFH has right? The one that one of you is going to get a free downloadable version of. Okay, okay. 

One Silent Night has been four years in the making. 
You will recognize favorites like “Winter Wonderland,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” and “Jingle Bell Rock,” among others, while being introduced to new tracks including “The Birthday of a King,” “Glorious Impossible,” and “One Silent Night.”

Did I mention that I adore this CD and that I can't wait to play it ALL the time on Friday?

I think I'm gonna make this giveaway a short lived one so that one of you can enjoy it pretty quick as well!

This giveaway ends on November 25th at 12:01 AM!
