Today is my two year blogoversary, it seems longer but May 24, 2007 was the day I was lead by the Lord to start a blog to encourage others. You can also read these posts to see how it all really started by clicking on these two links.
My CWO Spotlight Interview
Ten Reasons Why I Blog
I feel so blessed to have met so many beautiful and spirit-filled women of God, as well as brothers in Christ who follow Encouragement from the Heart. I will be having a giveaway to celebrate my two year blogoversary this Friday, so please check back, and for those who get my updates be on the lookout for my announcement.
My prayer is that the Lord has truly been glorified throughout this blog, and that those who come here will see that it really is all about him. I am just a vessel willing to be used to inspire, uplift, and bring hope and encouragement to each heart through words of encouragement , poetry, devotions, testimonies, and sharing the ministry the Lord has placed upon my life.
To those who faithfully read and follow Encouragement From My Heart, thank you so much for all your prayers and words of encouragement that you leave through your comments on each post, my guestbook, and emails, as well as through your letters, cards, and gifts from the heart. I treasure them all and give God all the glory , honor and praise.
Dear Lord, thank you for blessing this blog with your presence, and for bringing such wonderful friends into my life through this blogging journey with you. As each precious soul enters in, may we become one with you, joined together as brothers and sisters in Christ, spirit to spirit, and heart to heart....Amen

Happy Blogoversary my Sistah. You have truly been a blessing to me. When I tell someone about my blog and the people I've met I always mention you.
Two years, that is amazing. I read the two things you mentioned. You certainly have met all of the things you mentioned. Your so right about it being good therapy when you have health issues. Yours and all the others I visit have certainly kept me close to the Father. We are back in church. Yesterday when we went I felt such a good feeling swelling up in my soul and the song "I Just Feel Like Something Good is Going to Happen" came to my mind. My feelings toward the changes in our church has changed and I can once again feel God's presence there. It's taken a while but God is so faithful, He never left me (tears of joy). I owe a lot of this through His leading me into the Bible Study over a year ago and then to doing my blog and meeting so many friends from all over the world.
Thanks for being my friend.
I love you and though we may never meet here on earth I know that we will have a Glad Reunion one day when we all get to Heaven. Praise God.
Luv u, :)
From my heart to yours,
AliceE.

Hi Andrea,
My dear Hugsister as well!!! I'm so glad we found each other on PC Crafter what a bond and sisterness we share since I came and joined the message board, and now as we blog together. God is truly a father who embraces all his daughters and fills our hearts with love and encouragement for oneanother in a
way only he can do.

Anyway, thanks for your input on my blog. And thanks for saying we make a nice couple....at times, yes we do; other times we need a lot of help from up above...LOL. :D
I love your blog and your words of encouragement; so very cool. Yes, by the way, I am following you on Google Friend Connect. I think I am subscribed to you as well. Is that something you can check or should I just try again to subscribe and ee if it say's I already am? I guess I'll just try that.
Thanks girl! You're blog is a blessing!

Thanks Sarah!!
Yes it's working now I just checked and you are there. I also did a check on why my posts was not showing up, only the sidebars would show, I found out others were having the same issues on their blogs as well. Hopefully it is okay now.
