Tis the season of love (Valentines Day that is) and I’m giving away some CRAZY LOVE!! More specifically I am giving away the wicked great new CD by the guys from Hawk Nelson. If you are a Hawk Nelson fan you will crazy love this CD. If you’re not a fan of Hawk Nelson or have not heard them than you really should be! Thanks to my friend Lori at Overture Media, I have become a pretty big fan of this band. This CD does not disappoint. Driven by the book “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan, Hawk Nelson set out to create lyrics that remind us of the love that the God of this universe has for each one of us. I’ll do a review soon, but trust me when I say this CD is great.
So…who wants a copy? I‘m giving ONE COPY of “Crazy Love” away through this blog. Here’s how it’s going to work..
In the comments section, tell me at least one person that you “Crazy Love” and why. Don’t be shy. I will even give you the gift of going second by saying that I “Crazy Love” my beautiful bride and 3 children. That’s no secret, but they make me the man I am today. They challenge me, shape me and keep me accountable. I am blessed by every moment in their presence.
Simple…right? Leave your comment below. On Friday night, I will take each name that left a comment and put them into the lucky Carolina Tar Heel hat. I’ll have my kids draw the winner on video and we will post it here on the blog. Leave a comment, check back Friday night/Saturday morning-ish and we’ll have our winner.
GO!
Wow. I had some hosting issues but we’ve got them resolved. Thanks for hanging in there. I’ll create new comments for each of those that have responded so far just so you know you’re in the running. Please accept my apologies for the downtime overnight on the blog. I think we’ve got it resolved now.
Greg – I got your comment. Thank you.
I “crazy love” my wife. We have been married for 14 months. We first met at an IHOP late one night. I met her about a year after she had a heart transplant. She went into rejection after we had been dating about 4 months. Since then she has been healthy. Through her, my relationship with Jesus Christ has grown tremendously. She has taught me that even through very hard and bad times that Jesus is always right there.
Thanks Donald. May you have continued health and happiness in your marriage to your bride.
I crazy love my nephew. He’s such a huge blessing in my life and it’s crazy how my love for him grows more and more every day 🙂
Between my wifes family and mine we have 10 nieces and nephews. Such a blessing as I crazy love them all too!
I crazy love Jesus, my husband, and all 7 kiddos. 🙂 Love that Crazy Love book too.
Totally agree on the book. It was a game changer for sure. You and Matt are an example of sacrifice and crazy love for your children.
I’m with you, nothing beats family! 🙂 I “Crazy Love” my amazing husband and awesome 4 children. I thank God everyday for all of them
Thanks Dawn. Nothing beats family indeed!
I love a boy called Nick. It’s crazy love because I haven’t met him in person yet but I’ve known him for over 4 years. I know he is the one and Lord willing, we’ll meet this year at a festival. We met by accident in the message boards of one of our favorite bands. God is very humorous!
I wish you the best of luck with Nick. May you meet one day and everything you hope for be reality.
I crazy love my mom. She’s taught me to love God by being an incredible woman of God. And I crazy love my little sister she’s my very best friend. I’m blessed to have such an awesome family!
Lauren – I lost my Mom one year ago next month. Hold onto and cherish that love for your Mom every single day. Appreciate her while she is here and build lasting memories. Let her know each day how much you love her.
I Crazy Love my life right now. I’ve been through rough times in the past couple years, but I’ve emerged in to an amazing period in my life, and I’m loving every minute of it.
It’s the struggle that makes us stronger and appreciate those times when life is good. Continued happiness Emily.
I’m in crazy love with one of my friends. She has celiac disease, but has an amazing attitude about it! Through her, God has shown me to be thankful for what I do have and to not get upset about little things, like not getting to eat where I want to. She can’t eat very many foods at all, and I just took that for granted before. God has used her in an amazing way, and she probably doesn’t even know it! 🙂
Micah – If you haven’t already, tell her how you crazy love that about her. It would probably go a long way and help her see the beauty in the chaos of her disease. Thank you for sharing and for being a true friend to her.
I crazy love Jesus because He is my Savior, my bestfriend, my all in all, my husband, and the lover of my soul.
May we all share that love of our Savior
I am CRAZY LOVE with my Savior, Jesus Christ 🙂
Ditto
I’m a sucker for some Hawk Nelson, so I Crazy Love my husband and 4 wonderful kiddos. Who knew I’d deserve each of them?
I wasn’t a fan until recently but oh I’m a sucker for them too. This new CD is great and classic Hawk Nelson. They don’t miss a beat. May God bless you and your family.
I crazy love my wife Sonya…unconditional grace defined. Patience beyond measure. A Proverbs 31:10-31 wife for sure. Not real familiar with Hawk Nelson, but always looking for something new to put in my head to rattle around and chew on……
Ern – you’d love some Hawk Nelson. The kids would too. My three do. God has richly blessed you with a beautiful Proverbs 31 bride. Keep the flame alive my friend.
I crazy love Jesus
Thanks for being a man that isn’t afraid to say he loves Jesus. That’s awesome.
I Crazy Love my beautiful girlfriend. She has been always there for me from day one. We have only been together for one year but in that year has shown me what life is all about. Like every couple we of course have had our ups and downs but through all that our love shines through and stands out. Its unique. She makes me appreciate life so much more. This is not just for the competition. I just want to tell the whole world how much I am in love with my girlfriend 🙂
God Bless.
Thanks Killian. Wonderful words about your girlfriend. Always remember that feeling that you have today. Especially through those ups and downs. I’ve been married for 14 years (this June) and it is that memory of why I first loved her that I need to always keep close. She gives me new reasons every single day, but there’s nothing like the memories of when you first fall in love. May God continue to bless your relationship and life.
i crazy love my husband (who is my best friend) and my sweet kids. even when they drive me crazy, i always remember how blessed i really am. and how much i love them. thanks aaron 🙂
Thanks Jen! I think that’s another reason they call it crazy love. The kids can do that to us, but we love them all the more!
I crazy love my wife and two daughters who make me laugh each and every day and keep my life totally in perspective.
The Crazy Love book is excellent as is the video series that goes with it. And, from what I’ve heard of the CD, it’s great, too! Good luck to all!
Absolutely the book was awesome. This CD would make for a good running playlist. Lots of driving beats and food for the mind while you track the miles.
I crazy love my best friend Will. We both recently discovered that we are in love with each other, but chose not to date because it is what is best for both of us. I crazy love him because he is everything that makes me happy. He is always there for me when I need someone and we always, no matter what, have a great time together. Even though he doesn’t really know this, he saved my life about a month ago. I told him I was going to do something, and he replied with, “Do it and I will match everything-plus more.” With those words, I knew I couldn’t do it, because I didn’t want him to hurt himself. These are the main reasons I crazy love him. and, I thank God every day for bringing us into each other’s lives. <3
Samantha – I’m so glad you left a comment. I’m also thankful for your friend Will in that he helped you in a time of need. Some of the best relationships start as friendships and grow from there. With regard to hurting yourself, I’m so glad you didn’t. Always remember the crazy love that the God that created you has for you. He finds you perfect and beautiful in His sight. He created you and knows you. Never forget that and may God continue to inspire you. Next time you see Will, give him a high five from me won’t you?

Thats the good word Chad. Congratulations on 17 years!
what do I crazy love? running after the Heart of God… have you ever asked the Question??? what is He passionate about?? i wanna LOVE what He loves…each day… Hear His heart beat, be His voice… be like Christ… love those who He would love… reach out and nuture back to life those who others easily discard and ignore… they are valuable in HIS eyes… cause it’s not the healthy who need the doctor….in the end… to be able to say… My life mattered… to leave a legacy behind and be a woman of significance in my community… not necessarily a woman of success but one of significance…to extend a little kindness in a selfish and money hungry angry world…. A WOMAN OF GRACE …WITH THE HEART LIKE THAT OF A LION!… I may not have much… as eyes see… But…. God looks not at our “stuff” , what we deem as significant, but at out heart…. for that… I am RICH….You wont get asked in the end … what did you do… but who did you bring…so whats on God’s heart for me today?? thats what I crazy love…
Miriam – This is the first thing I read this morning and it made me want to take a hill!! Excellent summary and comment.
I crazy love my friend Tami. She has struggled with depression and then recently lost her younger brother in a tragic accident. Sometimes I don’t know what to say or how to be a good friend or how to tell her how much she is crazy loved by the Father.
Claire – Having suffered the loss that Tami has, I imagine she would say she crazy loves your friendship too. Thanks for being there for her. Sometimes there is no greater gift we can offer than to just carry the mat and love them like Jesus. Thanks for being that friend to her.
