WRITING TO ENCOURAGE YOU!

me3.jpg    My name is Elaine Barnett  (yes, I own this website,

                                              spam and all…thank goodness for comment

                                              moderation!)

What motivates me is helping other people , whether it’s making them laugh, listening or offering practical help.

  • I have a big place in my heart for singles, being that I am one!

  • I have found the only perfect person is Jesus Christ and try to point others to Him as much as I can.

  • What I love : Jesus, chocolate, writing , singing, praying , sewing and

  • Being creative, laughing and enjoying the Lord and the adventures He takes me on.

  • What you may not know about me, it only took me five months to figure out how to get a picture loaded on this page! I finally decided to try it my own way and forget the complicated instructions!!!

  • To Contact Me: Send me an email at WritingToEncourage@gmail.com

  • Or leave me a comment. Thanks ! Hope to hear from YOU!

    Hi Elaine, I found your website today and I liked so much your site. I live in Peru, so far away, isn’t it? Here in my country there are many things to do, I try too to do something for other every time I can, I think is a way to make people believe in God and the humanity, and I try to share it with my kids.

    Blessings,

    Tania

    Hi, Elaine, thank you so much for such a wonderful note on my blog! It’s so nice to meet you too & I’m so glad you stopped by. My blog is mostly about decorating, homemaking, recipes & life in general, so please feel free to stop back by as often as you can. And how great that we both live in B’ham! I’m loving it here, as I’ve only lived here for 2 years, grew up in Atlanta.

    I see you are a Christian single. I’m so happy to hear you are serving the Lord & putting Him first. I love to see young people with that kind of passion. Keep up the good work, there can never be too much encouragement out there!

    Hugs,
    Rhoda

    Elaine, first, great picture and Yahoo! for figuring out how to get your picture up. I’m still working on it.

    Secondly, I can not get me gmail to respond to your note to me, so I thought I’d come over and let you know I got your note and appreciate the information and links to the vidoes of Rick Burgess.

    I definitely want to address this on the site. Thank you, thank you.

    Pam
    who is glad you will be working with Dawn.
