Share 2014

We are smack in the middle of Share 2014 at work. And I'm not talking about sharing cookies. {Because as we all know, Bekah - much like Joey on Friends - doesn't share food!!} I'm talking about our annual fundraiser at WBCL, where we spend the week raising money to keep the ministry going for the next year.

Not even lying...before I worked at the station, Share was one of my favorite things. I loved tuning in every year during Share week and hearing the stories listeners would call and write in about...stories of how God used the station in their lives. And it's still one of my favorite things...to hear all the stories. When I was a listener, Share week made me feel like I belonged to the actual family...because I got to hear the stories. So now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I thought maybe you might like to feel like part of the family and see some of the behind-the-scenes Share happenings. Wanna??

Monday was our Cyber Monday...and to celebrate the kickoff of Share, we had a chili cook-off! Do you know how hard it is to sample  one tablespoon of seven kinds of chili and make a decision on the best? I took one for the team, people.
Guess who won? Lynne. :) She's seriously good at everything.

Lynne and I shared the Mid-Morning hour - some really neat stories from long-time listeners. And yes. I write with a daisy pen.
Little picture I sent to Ryan in case he started to miss me.

And then Tuesday...we started taking phone call pledges! Here's the lovely Lynne in her seat!

During Share week, Ken is part of the Mid-Morning hour:
These two are so much fun to share a studio with!

You know, when I'm not taking headphone-head selfies:

Or taking more pictures for Ryan:
 I spent most of the day {and will spend most of the rest of the week} here...on the phones:

Would love for you to pray for us this week; it's an amazing week, for sure, but also full of long hours and crazy weather driving {potentially} for the staff. Excited to see what God will do! Tune in and join us anytime!

Bekah,

It was so fun to meet you yesterday! I enjoying getting to know you a little better, and admitting that I 'creep' on you via your blog. Haha JK!

Thank you for what you do at WBCL and for the encouraging things you post on here. You are a wonderful, Godly woman who has blessed many and will continue to do so.

P.S. Thanks for the tips on good books to read too. I am going to look into Shaunti's new book :)

Natasha - Well played with the words!

Yes, that would have been fun! Well if WBCL partners with us (as I heard 'rumors' of when I was there), we may see each other again. Then we will HAVE to get a pic together! :)

P.S. Our small group is going to start the For Men & Women Only books next week. I will have to look into her other book still too though :) Thanks again for the recommendation!
