Bevlee Paper

01/09/2022

Bevlee Courage Edition is now available for digital download!! 📱

The original vision of the paper was to have it in printed, classic newspaper format (which for those who pre-ordered, your copy has been printed and We are currently waiting for it to get to us so We can ship it to you!!), but so many of you loved the digital download the first edition that we decided to always have it for you!

We want Bevlee to be accessible to everyone, the digital download is only $5, accessable on your phone, iPad computer — you can be encouraged anywhere, anytime!

We know some people just prefer digital over tangible. We totally get that! Just this morning I (JamieLee) was looking at my iPad and just so thankful for it. I do everything on my iPad -- my calendar, read books, work on projects, create, etc.

If you're a digital gal, we got you!

Dear Younger Self,

Don't simply pick up narratives because someone claims they are truth. Sweet girl, color outside the lines. Bust out of the box you were never made for. Take up space. Make it kind space. Honest space. Inviting space. Restful space.

Love, Amber ()

✍🏻comment below for a chance to get featured in our Summer Issue!!

Life is beautiful, hard + messy. It is filled with light, joyful moments and dark, shadow moments where the light is never far. In all these things, you are never meant to go through them alone and no matter what lies come your way, you are never the only one going through them.

Comment below a "Shadow Moment" in your life lately for a chance to get featured in Bevlee's Summer Issue. And not only that, but when you speak the darkness aloud, it becomes subject to the Light and the darkness will never overcome you. xoxo

Sis, there is a reason we include instagram handles and emails of the writers and contributors throughout Bevlee.

If there is an article you read that touches your heart, if there is a Light/Shadow Moment shared that you can totally relate to, or if you love something someone wrote and just need to tell them, reach out!!

Bevlee's heartbeat is that there are multi-generational women learning from one another and experiencing life together.

Who knows, maybe the next message you send will be your new bestie! 😉

Dear Younger Self,

Don't try to be "too cool". This life was meant to be lived simply but passionately.
Take care of your soul and have life-giving fun when this world teaches you how to be a machine, not a human being.

Love, Emilee ()

Picture this: you've had a long week. You're tired, maybe a little crabby and craving a moment alone. You grab your phone/iPad and head to your favorite sunny spot outdoors. As you feel the sun on your skin, you can feel the worries start melting away...even just a little bit. You open up your Bevlee Paper and read articles of refreshing, stories of hope, photos of beauty....

Download your copy of the Bevlee Spring Issue today. Be refreshed and reminded that you are not alone, you are a part of a sisterhood.

Life is beautiful, hard + messy. It is filled with light, joyful moments and dark, shadow moments where the light is never far.

In the Bevlee Paper, there are two sections called Lights & Shadows. "Light" moments are the moments that make you pause and make your heart burst with gratefulness. Something that fils you to the bring with joy that you want to dance around. Moments such as...

The way the sun is shining into your kitchen as you make your morning coffee...

The long unexpected phone call you had with your loved one...

The way your puppy is snoring at your feet...

Comment below some "Light" moments you have had in your life recently for a chance to be featured in the Bevlee Summer Issue!

Your courage is not that you are fearless. It is that you know what you are afraid of and keep moving forward in faith.

Everyone has fears, sis. Don't let the fact that there are fears that come into your mind stop you from moving forward in faith with something that is clear in your heart.

"Hospitality is holding space for another person to be seen and heard and loved. It's giving someone a place to be when they'd otherwise be alone. It's, as my friend Sibyl says, when someone leaves your home feeling better about themselves, not better about you."
- Shauna Niequist

Bevlee Creator Highlight: Toi Epperson
In our Bevlee Spring Issue, Toi wrote about ways for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren -- it was so helpful and fun!

Toi loves coaching women into using their gifts for other good and for His glory. Read more about Toi below!

"We are oftentimes our biggest critics when it comes to the gifts that we have been given. We can acknowledge the gift, but we aren’t bold enough to share it. Could it be because we fear that our gift is insignificant? Could it be that we are afraid that people would think we are “too much”? STOP RIGHT THERE! Meet Toi. Through Toi’s coaching, she encourages you to acknowledge and boldly accept the gifts God has birthed with you. If you don’t exercise it, who will? She often poses this question “Will you continue to play it small or GO FOR IT?” She leads by awakening, encouraging, and empowering the gifts that already are inside of you. If you have breath in your lungs, you have a purpose. If you can communicate, you have influence. Friend, YOU MATTER. You matter to God, and you matter to others. Toi is here to awaken the greatness inside of you and empower you to become all you were created for. As Toi would say: Friend, you are not a house cat, YOU ARE A LIONESS! Let's play BIG!"

"When someone shares that my story helped them, I can feel myself healing a little more each time. We all hold each other together." - Courtney Wallace

"We all hold each other together." Isn't that beautiful? Life can be hard, messy, and confusing. It makes all the difference in the world to realize and know that we don't have to go at it alone -- that we hold each other together.

"Have you been suffocated and buried by deep shame? Have you been overcome by those whispering lies that tell you that you don't matter and that you'll never be enough? Have you felt lost and you've drifted from the One who know you better than anyone? This is not the end of your story, and it's never where you are meant to stay."

The shame thoughts are lies. Your story isn't over when the thought comes or when you act on the thought -- that just means you are human.
When you say these thoughts aloud, you bring them to the Light. Bringing them to the Light brings true and lasting healing.

Bring it to the Light, sis. You've found your community, here. ❤

"I think the enemy of our souls attacks us in these moments because it is these precise moments that matter most. A loving family unit, no matter how small or how large is one of the biggest wars against his tactics. The enemy hates healthy families and healthy communities. He hates when homes are filled with love and laughter. That is why he comes at us from every angle as women who are pursuing peace for our homes."
Excerpt from JamieLee's essay in the Bevlee Spring 2022 issue.
