Moved, Inspired, Changed
Today I gave my bracelet away…I have worn it each day since the event; even to church on Sunday; which added a little ‘christmas flair’ to my outfit. 
I didn’t know what I’d do with it, who I’d give it to, so I just kept wearing it. Knowing I would find someone to give it to. This isn’t a touching story, and I almost feel dumb posting it after reading the other posts. But I will post it and I will feel dumb because I want to come on here and read where every bracelet went, big stories and small stories. So I suppose I can start, with my small story.
As I sat in line at Starbucks today, I thougtht “Hey! I’ll pay for the person behind me”. Boy, that’s original, huh? Then hoped there wouldn’t be a car behind me and I could just leave a gift card for the next person and maybe they would smile. As I ordered 3 cars pulled in behind me. Seriously, I must have been crazy to think I would get through STARBUCKS without a car behind me! Plan foiled…”now what”, I thought. So, I put the 2 together. I paid for the car behind me and I left them a gift card with the bracelet wrapped around it. I pray for that person to hop on this site and see what NWA is doing. I pray that they will ‘give’ what they ‘got’ and pass the bracelet on once again.
This event moved me. This event inspired me. This event opened my eyes. This event made me smile. This event was like no other.
I will let this event change me. —Annie

I Received a Gift, But Wanted to Give More »

I still have my bracelet, but have been thinking about last Monday’s event with tears in my eyes, and laughter in my heart! I did not get one of the bigger gifts to give away, but have been praying for those who did , that they would find joy in the giving and peace as they “looked” for who to give too! God will tell you who and WHEN it’s time…The card with the bracelet says to give someone else a gift or friendship or help….THEN pass the bracelet along….Friendship and help, I try to give as often as I can, but I forget to pass on the bracelet! God reminded my that He has gifted me in many ways and that those gifts are the ones to give now!! Praying for the ‘after glow…to become get up and GO!” AND that this is a “lifestyle not an event!”
God is so good!
