I didn&#8217;t plan to design anything, but in an unexpected and rather unusual turn of events, Lydia&#8217;s entry was the only one I received. I seriously considered awarding her the cover design by default, but felt that undermined a large part of the reason I chose to have the contest, and that was to see different designs and allow my customers to choose the one they felt was best suited to the book.<\/p>\n<p>Lydia&#8217;s design was beautiful, and received quite a few votes. She is receiving the runner-up prize, as well as another gift, since the contest didn&#8217;t turn out exactly as planned.<\/p>\n<p>If you think of it, please pray for me as I finish the writing and editing of this book. I&#8217;m looking forward to completing it. It is my prayer that it will be used of the Lord to be a help and encouragement to many.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again!<\/p>\n<p>Niki<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final selection is&#8230;.Cover B!
