Anonymous Encouragers is a Chritian Ministry, positive news from Klove

Here is another great story from a 16 year old girl that wanted to make a difference.

Here is the home page for AE and check out the facebook link at the bottom of the page.


Anonymous Encouragers is a Christian ministry designed to encourage individuals and communities. By writing simple cards to people found in phonebooks, anonymous encouragers spread God's love and faithfulness. Anonymous encouragers do not write these letters to receive personal recognition, but to serve others selflessly for God's glory.The process of becoming an anonymous encourager is easy.

Simply pick up your phonebook and choose a name and address. Your letter to this person may include a Bible verse and/or a few heartfelt words. By signing anonymously, you will ensure your security and privacy.

Five Easy Steps:1. Choose a name and address in your city's phonebook.
2. Write a letter in your own handwriting.(A handwritten letter will let the receiver know that a real personwrote to them, not a computer-generated scam.)
3. Sign your letter "A.E." for Anonymous Encourager.
4. Address the envelope, making sure to leave out your return address. (Leaving out your name and return address not onlyensures your security, but also guarantees no personal recognitionfor this act of kindness.)
5. Mail your letter.*If one anonymous encourager would set a goal to write one person every week, 52 people would be encouraged in the span of one year.If one anonymous encourager invites four friends to join the effort,260 people will be reached each year. Join Anonymous Encouragers in an effort to reach the world,one encouraging letter at a time.*Anonymous Encouragers is not responsible for expenses such asstamps, letters, and envelopes. These must be willing donationsgiven by each anonymous encourager.

Gary Smalley

I was jamming to my new tune station, Klove, check them out here http://www.klove.com/

They had Dr. Gary Smalley on air in an interview about his four day challenge. It was so great I had to share, both about how awesome it is to listen to positive words on the radio and it is FREE!!!!



Here is a 4 day challenge from Gary Smalley. I have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Smalley in person, I enjoyed his speaking and find him an inspiration of God's word.

I heart faces contest ~~~Bandit


Here is my entry for I heart faces contest this week, the theme is Pets...

http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/





Meet my son's new pup "Bandit" he came to us from our little church down the road. The owner was tired of feeding the pups and the mama dog and just kicked them out of the house. Lucky for Bandit my son was determined to save him :0) He is a very spirited little pup and keeps our old dog Baby great company and makes her a great play mate. (We rescued Baby from a puppy miller so all she knows is to be around puppies.)

Have a blessed day,

Where have you (me) been......






Well the ball field of coarse!!! I photographed the team and submitted the photo orders to the lab last night. I can't wait to see the outcome. It was a bitter sweet end to our league games. We were tied, the other teams big hitter was up to bat, strike one, stride two, foul, foul, ball, ball, crack!!! and there it went and he run the bases and won the game by one point!!! We were tied until them and all we needed was to strike him out!!! It was a great game, the boys played hard and with heart, so proud of the little guys but you can't always take home the prize and it's a good life lesson to know that. So here are a few photos of the team

Happy Wednesday, it is going to be a scorcher..

























Future project: The seasoning rack is now transformed into my embellishment turn about. I am going to paint it black, and use the Cricut to cut circles of background and texture paper to cover the tops. ( Someday soon I will have new floors down, but for now I can live with it to meet a higher goal :0) )

What are your projects, please share, I would love to see them and spotlight you on my blog,
Have a blessed day,
Tracy





























Here is my clean desk.

Today is suppose to be really crazzy hot, but keep in mind it is suppose to be in mid-June. That's when I go to the lake and hang out on the Pontoon all day. That I love. Anyway, we will be in the upper 90's today and I have to pre-pay for my propane today....lol...I am truly not thinking of how to keep warm this winter on a day like today. But if I don't think/pay ahead it will cost me a small fortune later.

So, I completed a couple of task, like taking my winter clothes out of the closet so I can find my summer clothes.

I cleaned off the scrap desk and finished cleaning out the hallway. I did more but it was just all of the general stuff. I have been on a great roll catching up the house but it is fixing to end...we have ball games the rest of the week, I have to shoot the team tomorrow and a tourney in Mt. Home this weekend. Sigh... I will miss my projects but I love my son playing ball more...(uh, remind me I said that when I am sitting in the hot sun at noon)

So, here are a few pics of my labor...
