Description:

This is my first time coordinating a swap, so go easy on me. :-) We all go through difficult times that challenge our faith or that make us feel alone. For this swap you will send your partner biblically-based inspiration that encourages them and lifts their spirits--something they can refer to when going through difficult times. You may send any of the following: 1) a poem 2) a listing of encouraging verses: write/type the entire verse and provide the scriptural reference 3) a letter describing how your faith brought you through (or is bringing you through) a difficult circumstance 4) a particularly encouraging psalm written on beautiful paper or in a card 5) the lyrics to a song--you can even put the song on a CD 6) a sermon 7) a bookmark 8) an inspirational ATC that can be neatly tucked in a Bible 9) your idea here--the possibilities are endless (if you have other ideas, please list them in the comment section)

Think about what gets you through. Since we all like pretty things, make just a little effort. What you send doesn't have to be "fancy-schmancy," but don't just scribble 5 verses on a piece of plain white paper.

Newbie friendly. Flaker friendly--so if you're trying to "rebuild" your swap-bot reputation, here's your second chance (or maybe your third or fourth). Send me a private message explaining your "flakiness." I will make the decision based on your profile and your explanation.

I will "angel." If anyone else is interested in being an angel for this swap, let me know by PM or in the comments section below. Thanks.

I know that postage can break the budget on International Swaps, so I'm creating a Regional (USA) version and an International version of this swap. This is the Regional-USA version.

What does it mean to "angel"? Thanks in advance.

To "angel" means to step up and send the swap to someone whose assigned partner failed to fulfill their swap. For example, if you never received from your partner, someone else might volunteer to send the swap to you to be sure you get something. Someone is being an angel by making sure everyone gets something from the swap. Not all swaps are "angeled", but anyone can volunteer to "angel".
