He will keep you in perfect peace because you trust in Him. There is a picture of you imprinted on both His hands. When you pass through the waters He will be with you. You will walk and not faint, run and not be weary. He knows the plans He has for you. They are for good and not for evil. The battle is not yours, but God's. He will contend with those who contend with you. Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

Diane, Thanks so VERY much for your comments. I know that loads of people have got started contestging because of my books, radio interviews and the websites, but I so seldom get anyone telling me about it. It is WONDERFUL getting feedback from YOU and from my other "cheer givers." Thank you ALL soooooo much. I am glad to hear that you are entering and that some of you are winning! There always is a winner ... and it could be YOU so keep on going. I will definitely have a sunny week, no matter what the skys are doing. ta ta Melanie Oh My! Diane,

I won a $500.00 food voucher from one of our local grocery stores, numerous movie passes, beautiful box with expensive perfume, Harry Potter DVD, CD and t-shirt PLUS $3,000. from YAK Communications towards a trip. I started entering lots of contests after I heard you interviewed on our local radio station and then I also signed up for your Contest News. You have been a gift to me. Thank you so very much for all of the effort you put into your newsletter and blog. We are truly blessed to have someone like you living in Canada and better yet - Vancouver!! Glad to hear the sun is shining once again. Have a super week. Cheers, Diane Dear Melanie,

In my first year I won a car. This was the best thing to happen as at the time I was driving a 20year old beater that badly needly replacing but my situation was not condusive to purchasing another vehicle. I have also won a cash prize of $100 (from a survey site), a doll collection for my daughter, a fancy new cordless drill/tool set for my husband, a local day cruise from Vancouver's Coal harbour up the coast to Britannia beach, and various coupons worth over $500 toward everyday purchases. For those who have not won or it's been a while since the last win - keep plugging at it. My motto is "somebody has to win" and if you don't enter it won't be you.

The prizes were a book and an on-line photo journalism course. I just recently discovered your site. I've entered at least two contests from your blog. And passed a couple more on to friends. :) I look several times a week to catch anything new. Thanks! Lynne Hi Melanie,

Aren't radio contests great! Many people have no idea how good they are ... because of the good odds of winning. First of all, the competition pool is restricted by the fact that the contests are only advertised locally, then more sorting comes from narrowing down to the stations audience, and then even further restricted by the small number of people who are willing to dial in. Keep dialing. Keep winning! PS. It is a beautiful sunny Saturday here in Vancouver. But keep the comments coming! Chris,
