Pause For Power

Empowering Words to Live By

Welcome to Be Encouraged, my very own Spirit-filled passion project filled with encouraging, inspirational, unique and engaging content. Explore my site and all that I have to share; perhaps Be Encouraged will ignite your own passions as well.

This site is inspired by my mom Carrie "Shirley" Newbill Gray (pictured). She made her impact on the world with her encouraging words, kind deeds and acts of kindness.  When she transitioned, the torch was passed to me.  I pray as a result of your visit to this

Be Encouraged website that your torch will be lit as well.  If you are encouraged by this content, please share with others.  Just as 1Thessalonians 5:11 reads "So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing." 


God Bless You!
