Back 40 Life {Giveaway}

*UPDATED with WINNER* Congratulations to Pamela (no blog, I emailed you)! Thanks every one for entering. Don’t forget to place your orders at Back 40 Life for fun Christmas gifts!
Who knew I would love vinyl so much?
And I’m not talking about my record collection (because I don’t have one).
I love the vinyl words that adorn my walls. LOVE them.
I can’t tell you how words lift me when I am down. Sometimes it’s all I need.
Back 40 Life (great name, huh?) let me pick a couple of vinyls for my wall. And I chose this one:
The before:
The after:
And the toddler who is a kinesthetic learner:
Since it’s better to give than receive, I picked the second vinyl, this lovely one:
Be Still and Know that I am God Vinyl Wall Decal
For my sweet Russian friend from the Persecuted Church. One day she asked me about “these words on your walls…what are they? I like them. They are interesting.”
She’s praying for a home of her own and so I thought this would make a great hopeful-housewarming gift for her.
What do you like?  Look around and let me know because someone’s going to win a $50 gift certificate to this awesome shop!
This giveaway closes on Thursday.

    I have a few of these wall quotes in my home and love them…I saw a great one at Back 40 life (names with wedding date) that I would love on my bedroom wall…count me in

    I absolutely LOVE the "Be still" one that you chose for your friend. God spoke that exact verse to me while I was visiting with my grandma a few days after her stroke. It was a devastating stroke that she only survived another 2 weeks after it happened. God gave me words to speak to her, pray for her, and then peace, as only He can give, as He brought her home to Him. There were times I wanted to tell her so much more about our Savior, whom she was just accepting, when God spoke those words to me. Amazing. What He told me to say and pray was all He wanted me to say and pray. The rest was up to Him to bring her home. Those words would clear a wall in my house for their display!

    Oh this is exactly what I've been wishing I could hand-paint on my nursery walls! It's still a dream as my baby continues to be chronically ill for 2 years. If I could, I would order the custom wording and write out the song that I sing to him. I would write it in a long strip around the top edge of his walls, right below the ceiling. In circling him with this song:

    "Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, All through the night. Guardian angels God will send thee, All through the night."

    Oh so lovely!

    Choose me random number selector.

  31. 181

    I know my son would love to have his name over his bed. I would love to incorporate some scripture, too. Love it all — even if I have trouble remembering how to spell vinyl. :)

    i love the "be still and know" one. that would be great somewhere near our table where we do our family scriptures, prayers and quiet times. i also love the "for this child i prayed". we just split up our boys and girl into two separate rooms, and that one would be perfect over the crib in the boys room. in fact, it's so pretty, it might inspire me to paint in there!!

  46. 196

    These are awesome! We need to spice up our house a little bit. I'm somewhat old school so it's hard for me to branch. I think this would be perfect.

    Ps 65 or Ps 37. I need all the encouragement I can get! Although the "progress, not perfection" is tempting!

    Amber says:

    I like several but I think the "Me and My House" is my favorite.

    I've wanted to stencil words on our walls ever since we moved in. I never got around to it – perhaps I should just go with vinyl. It sounds SO much easier. ;)

  82. 232

    "Be still" is my favorite verse, so naturaly I would have to choose that one. Another favorite verse, however, which is already on my wall thanks to my artsy hubby is "as for me and my house…" I would choose either of those…although, the chalkboard is cute, too. Do I HAVE to decide?

  83. 233
    Paula Reece says:

    Wow, I would have a hard time deciding. They are all so lovely! I think your "Love God. Love others." is adorable where you put it! I also love the Psalm 37 verse, as well as the "progress not perfection," which totally sums me up. Thanks for the chance to win!

  84. 234

    I have been itching to put numbers on our front door!
