Why are you here?

Mission #1: For those who are shy...try writing letters.

So I totally understand if you agree with me and would like to do something...but don't know what to do or have  any idea where to start. And if you're shy (like me!) then you are probably sweating right now. Or if you just want to do something, then awesome :)

A really cool way to anonymously care for someone is to write a little note with a favorite Bible verse or a really powerful quote or just a kind word, and then leave it on a desk or drop it on the floor! Get creative!

I started writing letters from Bible verses a few months ago. It's like getting a letter from God. You can take verses, too, and write a letter from God to a person and then drop it or slip it in a backpack, or on a porch. Here is an example:

Beloved,
I promise to give you peace-- not just escape from internal conflict or turmoil in your life, but a deep, inner peace that comes from finding your contentment, security and fulfillment in me. Rest in my perfect peace. Read Ezekiel 34:25, know that I am here for you. Always.
-Your God

It's really fun (but remember, let God speak through you.)! Then get an envelope (it's best if you use special fonts and paper for individuality!) and address the letter to someone you know or you could say, Whoever happens to find this... or something like that. Printing with special fonts is best, because if it's handwritten, then people can tell that it's you. It's supposed to be something anonymous, because then you don't get the credit. Amazingly, that is the best feeling. When you don't get found out, when you have done something awesome for God. :)

You can origami-fold notes and letters, too. Brainstorm all kinds of shapes! Hearts are really cool looking. and stars would be awesome. If you have plain paper, try splashing a colored ink on it and dabbing it with a tissue to create an effect. Have fun with it!

If you looooove music, then a really powerful song is awesome, too. Who knows? Maybe what you write is the exact thing someone needs to hear. Or maybe they stuff it in their bag or backpack and find it at the exact right time later?

So letter by letter and note by note, let's brighten people's days. There is nothing like it, I promise. :)

E-mail me if you have any questions or anything. Tell me how you are doing, or if you've done this or tried this!

<3 you and God bless you! , Destiny

P.S. - When I start school, I'll post as often as possible to tell you how I've been doing with the letters and notes.
