Today is the actual day for the National Day of Encouragement. Today is the day that inspired me to make it a week long celebration! How was it founded? Wikipedia says,

“The National Day of Encouragement in the United States was announced in 2007 and occurs each year on September 12.The Encouragement Foundation at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas launched an effort to get Americans to participate in this Day of Encouragement.[1] The first proclamation for the Day of Encouragement was made by Mayor Belinda LaForce of Searcy, Arkansas on August 22, 2007. In September Mike Beebe, the Governor of Arkansas, signed a proclamation making September 12, 2007 the “State Day of Encouragement” for Arkansas. Later, President George W. Bush also signed a message making September 12 the official “National Day of Encouragement.”"

Whatever the founding details, I sure am glad we have this day to celebrate! And in case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m doing my very best to spread the word about the National Day of Encouragement. I know each and everyone of you are helping me and I honestly appreciate that. And to show my appreciation for your help and support (and encouragement!), we’re having a giveaway!!!

One of you will win your very own Conversation Starters For Girlfriends from DaySpring. It comes with 31 adorable Question & Verse Cards to help start faith conversations with your girlfriends.

Emily

Emily is a busy stay at home mom & wife to Markus, who is the assistant pastor at the church they both grew up in, & resides in a very small Kentucky town. Together they have 2 little girls, ages 6 & 4. She is still in many ways a child at heart & can often times be found acting random & silly. She does know when to be serious & focused on God, however, doing all she can to reach Heaven. She is Karen's baby sister & one of Angie's closest friends. As a matter of fact, Emily's youngest is betrothed to Angie's middle son. (Or so we wish...) In 15 years, she will turn 40. (We'll have to explain that one some time...)
