Help!!!!!!!! It's my first giveaway!!!

I've noticed something lately...no matter how hard I try; I can't seem to think of ANYTHING to write!
I know, I know - seeing as though the title of this little blog is "Always Talking," that seems to be a slight problem.

So, I figure I have two options....

1) Change the title of my blog to "Nope - Got Nuthin'

or

2) Beg for some help.

Soooo...here's what I've decided to do. I'm begging for your help!

I need your questions!

Big questions, little questions...brilliant questions or dumb questions. I'm not picky...I'll take em all!

I can't promise to answer every one (of course if only one of you asks a question then I guess I could guarantee an answer).

Seriously though, put on your thinking caps and ask away. I promise to be honest in my answers (there's a shock, I know....anyone who knows me knows that I can be quite blunt with my honesty at times!)

So, what are you dying to know about me or my life? Probably nothing I'm sure, but think hard anyway.

Do you have questions about how many times a day I mess up as a mom? Questions about life in ministry? Questions about organzing closets? Questions about life with my studly hubbie??? Questions about my biggest fears?? Questions about how I tame my RIDICULOUSLY frizzy locks?? Whatever!!!

BRING 'EM ON!!

Oh yes, and because I seem to have a "following" that is absolutely terrified of the little comment button below, I will go ahead and reveal an email address where you can email your questions.

Of course, if you're one of the 3 people who isn't terrified of the comment button, feel free to ask away there. :)

Maybe that's a question I could explore - What in the world is up with all of you being so scared of my sweet comment button???? :) He's really not all that scary!
Anyway, email me at: cyndiealwaystalking@yahoo.com if you're one of the scaredy cats.

Hmm....I may even make this a momentous occassion and offer a prize! Sure, why not!! Dum Dum Dum!! The first prize EVER offered on ALWAYS TALKING!

Okay, for everyone who asks a question by midnight on Friday, I will put your name into a hat. I will then randomly pick one winner who will receive one of my all-time favorite books EVER, "Hope's Wish"! I will even go so far as to getting the book personally autographed by the author (who also happens to be a great friend of mine).

So there you have it! Think about it...if no one else even asks a question, you're guaranteed to be a winner! How hard is that?!
So, what's on your minds?? What have you always wondered about me? (keep it nice, please:)!

I can't wait to hear what you're thinking about and hopefully get rid of my writer's block!!

Hey Cyndie!!!
Ok...Since you are going to give an HONEST answer, I will ask an HONEST question.
At times I wonder if Adam has moments when it is hard for him with Hailey. (not being biologically his) Because honestly I think I would.
Do you even have moments of doubt with Elle?? Or did you before you adopted her??
On the same note, how after physically carrying the other two did it differ from your relationship with Elle??
love,
Lauren
p.s. with three kids how do you always look so fabulous?!

Hi there! Hopping over from Carisa's. If you'll mail to Jamaica, drop my name in for that lovely book. :D

I've always wanted to ask someone (but no one ever seemed qualified to answer until now) if there is a fundamental difference in temperament between children of different races (sp. caucasian and 'coloured').

I'll tell you why I'm asking... the tips from lovely parenting seminars hosted by Caucasian folk don't seem to be worth much with Jamaican children (not just mine).

Is it too early for you to say? Ok, I'm off to browse around your blog some more.

sent over from Carisa's....

This is my VERY first time here so you may have answered this before...but how did your 'call into ministry' get confirmed?
I saw that on note on your anniversary post...and my hubby and I have been there....'waiting' for full confirmation for a couple years now....
I know it's not the same for everyone...I just like encouraging stories :D
Praise God for your service.
We stepped out of youth ministry (4-6th grade and then Jr. High) when we had our 2nd son....mostly because the positions in our church are unpaid and it was just TOO much with the boys being 18 months and a newborn....wanting to plan events, etc...
It's been a little over 4 years now...and our hearts will always be for youth...now we're just praying where next....

whew...not sure what made me share all that...Thanks for your honest here...I'll check back soon!

Carissa sent me over too :D

Being a mom of 3 (2 boys and a baby girl) I know how challenging it can be at times. Now that Elle is a little bigger and demanding more of your one on one time, how do you juggle it. My daughter is 4.5 months old and its been "easy" so far. Any tips, my boys are 7yrs old and 26 months.

Hugs
Jolene

Lindsey said...

HI Cyndie, I love reading your blog and 100% agree you always look fabulous!!!

OK, a question.....
What books have you enjoyed the most on parenting and teaching faith/spirituality to little ones? And of course since you and your studly husband are so sweet... any great books/devotions on marriage and raising little ones... how to stay connected, etc?

With love, Lindsey
