Over the last year I have witnessed some amazing people take some amazing leaps into leadership, ownership and new ventures in life! This is so inspiring to me because it is a confirmation that I am in good company. The word ‘change’ has become a buzzword in our society but for some people, it has become reality. When I think back over the last year, it’s hard to believe that “Be Encouraged” has been around for 12 months, going strong! More specifically, in 2011 after hearing author Simon T. Bailey speak on our unique assignments given to us by God Himself, I knew it was time to share my gift of encouragement in a broader way.

I studied Mr. Bailey’s book, “Release Your Brilliance” and accepted my assignment; to encourage. In October of that same year I began my first publication “Be Encouraged!” With over 1,000 views, 15 publications and several 100 followers, we have success-fully completed our first year!

I have often been asked how I choose the topics. I don’t, they choose me. The ideas for each publication come to me after interaction with people, during prayer and certainly from day to day situations. Each publication is designed to solve contempo-rary issues with Biblical lessons while giving the reader three easy steps to apply to their situation.

God’s Word is so uplifting and allows us to examine our own selves. Be Encouraged! Is an easy way to remember that God is for us and wants us to be whole!

My prayer is that every reader who takes the time to open the publication will find what he or she is looking for.

Keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking.

TURN UP THE VOLUMEWe recently took a survey of readers and asked them if they would be more likely to listen to an audio version of our monthly publication. The response was an overwhelming yes! The audio version of our publication will be available beginning January 2013.
