The Internet Cafe is holding a Holiday Expo Blog Carnival. Head on over there to link to TONS of blogs giving gifts in the spirit of the season!
I'm so excited about my contribution. I'm calling it my
"Internet Cafe Passionate Giveaway Package."
The first in the package is "Passionate About Planning." It's a "2009 Mom's Plan It Calendar" with a bunch of helpful tips and quotes for each day of the year. Keep it for yourself or give it to a Mom you know that has a passion for planning!
Secondly, it's an extraordinary book called Women of Passions: Ordinary Women Serving An Extraordinary God by Janet Ross and Jeanice McDade. It is a collection of remarkable true stories and inspirational writings by twenty-six unique authors from various backgrounds and walks of life. It is a truly phenomenal read, especially if you're passionate about reading testimonies and stories that will lead you to the Throne of God.
And maybe most important package item of all, it's "Passionate About Chocolate." If an honest-to-goodness passionate woman is going to plan passionately and read a book about passion for God, she MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE by her side...so howza 'bout a pack of M&Ms and maybe a few other little chocolate goodies...who knows? Depends on how much you convince me you like chocolate! ;D
Sooooo, if you are a Passionate kind of gal, then all you have to do to be a contender for the package is the following:
Leave a comment on this post (cannot be anonymous, as I need an email address for the winner) and tell me ONE thing (at least) that you are passionate about. I will choose a winner (randomly) by Friday, December 12th, and the winners (of ALL the blog giveaways) will be posted publicly at the Internet Cafe! Cool, eh?
And if you live out of the USA, no biggie...I'll ship it anywhere, okay?
Passionate about seeing a picture of what you have the potential of receiving? Okay, then...
I really hope you're as excited as I am about this package, and I also hope you'll go on over to the Internet Cafe Holiday Expo to click on other blogs who are participating in the Christmas carnival!

Serving others
-Blessings, Laurie
I've been looking forward to this day!! It's going to be so much fun!!

Beth
Yeah! I live overseas so this is awesome that I can enter! Thankyou!
I am passionate about God and my husband. They are awesome!
Thanks for such a great giveaway!!
I'm passionate about so many things but the two that top the list are God and kids! God strengthens and forgives me, kids just melt my heart :o)
Good luck to everyone and Happy Holidays!
I'm passionate about serving the Lord first and for our children to come to know the Lord as their Saviour! Love your giveaway!--WOuld love to be more organized, I love to read and chocolate is an all time favorite and a basic food group for me. Marie
My FRIEND!!! Yummy giveaway! Get organized, passionate and fat all in one swing lol. I LOVE it! Since I already have the book, if I win you could pass it on to the number 2 person. But since we both know I never win anything I won't worry about it lol.
Let's see what am I passionate about? I would have to say serving the Lord with my family.
Hugs to you my friend.
Hehe - I have the book, but I'll certainly take another (can never have too many!). Do I HAVE TO convince you of how much I love chocolate? I think you know, yanno? (and I'll bet you are aware of how much I would use that plan-it calendar!) ;)
And I am passionate about a LOT of things - how about my ministry of encouragement/"jeweling?" This is SO fun!
I am passionate about my a few things...one is the quest for my son to have his epileptic seizures under control. This has been a year long battle and I will not stop until it happens.
I am also passionate about my growing closer to God every day, my grandchildren, and scapbooking/card making. Sending cards in "my ministry" that God gave to me before my son got sick and it is something that I can continue to do through his illness.
Thanks for a chance to win and have a great day.

Did you say CHOCOLATE?
Here I am, girl, pick me! ROFL. Oh well, it was worth a try. (are your kids picking the name? Which one exactly? jk)
Well, I'm passionate about God, my honey of a husband, my kids and writing. Take away any of these, and I tend to have a meltdown--as you know.
This is great fun!!
Happy Holidays!
I am passionate about God, my family and chocolate. It's a good thing my 2 year old daughter and 5 Year old son did not see the picture of M&M's. That is their favorite candy. They would be begging for some. Thanks for the contest!

Hmmmmmm. I would say I'm passionate about God, my kids knowing Jesus, my hubby, being a good homemaker, writing, stamping.... However, if you are passionate about something shouldn't you be "all-consumed" and "on fire?" I haven't been lately about much of anything. I think I need that Passions book! :)
I am passionate right now about MAP-the Mission to Amish People group! They're awesome people! (And of course I'm passionate about chocolate--yum yum.)
I am very passionate about my faith, and love to share with anyone who will listen. Secondly, I am passionate about my family.
My Passion: Sharing/Convincing/Helping women understand how VERY Important GOD's Word is to their lives. It is the absolute final authority on ALL things!

I'm passionate about quite a few things. Rescuing women and children for human trafficking; chocolate; helping women to live under God's love and grace instead of the law; chocolate; inspiring women to be better wives and mothers; did I mention chocolate?
I'm passionate about my family and friends. Having moved to a new community where I don't know anyone, I have been made aware how precious friendships are.
Precious giveaway, LauraLee. I'm not a Mom, just wanted to leave you a comment and say how sweet you are for doing this...
what a great giveaway! chocolate, a book and a planning calendar--3 things i love!
hmmm---so what am i passionate about? probably chocolate and pastries, which isn't a great thing when you're trying to lose weight. but i'm also passionate about living my life to glorify God.
Well, it probably sounds cliche, but the thing I am most passionate about right now is improving my Christian walk. I've hit some bumps in the road and taken a wrong turn or two in the last couple of weeks and I am passionately praying and seeking to get it right, to be on the path HE wants me to be on. I so much want to be a beacon through which His light can shine and bring other souls to Him.
I am passionate about God - the Bible - I LOVE the Bible - I'm blessed to have such an unquenchable desire for it. Then next it would be my hubby and kids.
I am passionate about doing what you love--no matter what it is--don't settle!!
LOVE prizes!!!
Your blog is really pretty. Thanks for the chance to win a really useful prize.
Such a lovely gift you are offering, bless you.
What a great give a way. The one thing I am passionate about is living the live God has intended for me and my family.
Please enter me in the giveaway... I am becoming more passionate everyday about Jesus...
What a great giveaway!!
Growing up, I was the kid that everyone picked on. So now, I am most passionate about teaching my son to show God's love and compassion to everyone!! :)
Sweet giveaway! I'm passionate about God. also I'm passionate about stamping and making things to put a smile on people's faces. Thanks for a chance.
I'm passionate about Jesus and being a walking thank you for His sacrifice. What a great giveaway.
Let's see... right now I am passionate about serving the Lord through ministry to my two little girls and my hubby!
(I am currently living in Indonesia but am a US resident and have a US mailing address - thanks!)
I am passionate about being a godly & loving wife and mom.
I am having a giveaway too! I just got a late start on this! :)

I am passionate about connecting women. That's what I was placed on this earth for: my Kingdom purpose. But I also love a good chocolate bar! :)
My word verification is elatize. Is that a verb? As in "to make someone elated?" Hm...... I may have to check that out. Maybe it should be my new tag line. "I will elatize you!"
I am passionate about my kids. I love being a mommy (and a wife). I also love to serve others.
Thanks for the fun giveaway. Merry Christmas.

Love the look of Your Blog, Lauralee!
This sounds like great stuff... My passion is to see the healing love of Christ wash over people's lives. Especialy people who have hurt as I have over the death of their child. You are precious. And thank you.
Does saving money count? Cause that's what I'm passionate about. I keep trying to convert everyone I know to coupon clippers. LOL. Thanks for the giveaway!
I see that I am the winner... I don't know exactly how to contact you, but please email me at toknowhim@comcast.net, and I will get you my contact info.
How exciting to win such a great package... Kim
