Breaking The Chains: 31 Devotions in 31 Days eBook!

I finally can share with you a project that the Lord has been leading me on for months. My first devotional eBook!

Do you remember back in September when I started a devotional blog series called Breaking The Chains: 31 Devotions in 31 Days in this post? Then I went 8 days before pulling the plug? I have to confess, it pained me to do it. I wanted to keep writing the devotional on the blog and sharing what I was learning but God stopped me. I wasn't learning enough. Yes, He was showing me amazing things in His Word but I needed to step away from sharing everything before it could change my heart. Does that make sense?

Months later, I'm now able to release what the Lord has taught me about emotional bondage and how we can break free from the chains. I know you will love this book:

"Have you ever felt guilt, shame, fear, anger or low self-worth? Do you feel that way right now? Emotions were created for a purpose but we often don't know what that purpose is. In this devotional, we tackle unhealthy emotional strongholds head on.

For the next 31 days, we'll take a look at what the Bible says along such topics of expectations, justification, accountability and letting go. Each daily devotional is an easy one-page read, packed full of insight to help you break the chains of emotional bondage. Be renewed and refreshed as God works in the deepest parts of your heart to reveal the beautiful person He has called you to be."

I urge every woman, no matter what age or social status, to snag a copy of this devotional when it launches May 27th (the Tuesdays after Memorial Day.) It's not a casual, feel-good devotional. This is for people serious about getting serious with God and looking at bondage fearlessly.

You can buy a copy in the shop for only $6.99 between the launch date of May 27th through June 2nd! The timing is perfect if you want to start the devotions at the beginning of next month. After June 2nd, the book will be available at it's regular price of $9.99. You can also purchase it through the Kindle store, however, the discounted price only applies to book orders through the Hello Awesome shop.

My hearts desire is to spread the message of emotional purity to everyone who hears! God has called us to be pure inside and out. Not just physically but emotionally. Please help me pray for His name to be glorified through this devotion and hearts changed! Let us remember the beautiful words of Paul:

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

eBook Launch & Custom Logo Giveaway

 

Happy Monday beauties!

I'm going to make this post short and sweet for two reasons:
1.) It's Monday. I have to give you a break.
2.) If you want to win a free copy of "10 Blogging Etiquette Tips for Newbies", check out the list of blogs sponsoring the tour here; there is a giveaway a day

Okay, so that last one isn't really a "reason" but it's something that needed to be said. I mean, come on, it's free stuff! Speaking of free stuff, does your business / shop/ blog need a logo?

There will be a FREE CUSTOM LOGO GIVEAWAY only on my Facebook page this week! I'll be posting the details later today but only fans can enter, so head over to my page and like it. I dare you. Also an exclusive 15% off coupon code for the shop will be posted too.

Can I just say that I love creating custom logos?

This is an example of what you can win if you enter the FB giveaway. I know...I'm such a tease.

PS: I know I usually post a "Dear David..." letter on Mondays but you'll just have to wait for next Monday! That should give me a good week to figure out what I want to tell him...hm, on second thought, writing one letter might not be enough.

10 Blogging Etiquette Tips for Newbies {eBook announcement}

Here she is, folks: the new illustrated cover for my latest eBook!!
I personally drew the cover myself and colored it. Came out better than expected.

The idea for this eBook came about because of the overwhelming support for my post back in March titled "5 Blogging Etiquette Tips for Newbies." Many of you weighed in your thoughts, shared your own tips and just engaged in awesome conversation. Knowing that there are more than 5 tips {and definitely more than 10} I decided I will share 10 important tips on blogging etiquette and create it as a digital book. This way, you can take it with you on your mobile device, tablet or laptop.

Here is what you can expect with this eBook:

- 10 useful tips on how you as a new blogger should behave/interact within the blogging community. Some examples are "Link to actual source", "Write a disclosure", "Serve Your Sponsors" and "You're not the gramma' police."
- Real-life experiences and stories to better enhance your perspective
- Links to valuable resources and websites
- A new outlook and more knowledge about what etiquette is and how important it is online

"10 Blogging Etiquette Tips for Newbies" will be released on August 12th, 2013 {11 days from today!}It is an easy read, about 17 pages, but filled with great info.

I am launching a full campaign the week of the launch; it will run from Monday, August 12th through Saturday, August 17th. Let me tell you, there are some great things in store.

There will be a blog tour where I'll be featured on some very awesome blogs. I'll be giving away a free copy on every blog I'm on, so stay tuned for the blog tour schedule, which will be posted next week. It would be wise to follow me on Twitter because I'll be sharing daily all of the giveaway links AND a link to snag a coupon code. You can also follow along by searching hashtag #augustblogtour

Also, I'll be hosting a HUGE giveaway on my Facebook page that week. One lucky winner will receive a FREE Custom Blog Banner or Logo!! It's a $50 value and is only available in my shop but followers of my page will be eligible to enter by sharing the giveaway and leaving a comment telling me whether they would pick a banner or logo.

I also will be sharing an exclusive 15% discount code on Facebook that can be applied to anything in my shop!

I have to say how excited I am to bring you this eBook and hopefully create more awareness about blogging etiquette. I'll be sharing more about pricing and other details next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

New Poetry E-Book Launch!

On Monday June 10th, my personal poetry project {say that 10 times fast} will be available for purchase and download in the shop!

"Conversion of a Heart" showcases personal and deep poetry from artist/author Jacy Lee Pulford. Extracted from her journal as a young convert, the poetry tells an emotional story of what goes through someone's mind and heart when they have to give up all that they've ever known, for a God who has called them. Using original photography to create beautiful imagery to complement each poem, this is sure to be a delightful and inspiring read.

This 31-page collection of poetry is from my journal as I first came to the Lord. Each poem is a piece of my testimony puzzle and sheds an emotional, artistic light into the mind and heart of a new convert. I hope and pray that this book will touch the hearts of those who feel lost, broken, alone, scared and yet hopeful. We are all a work in progress and each journey is different. This is my story, through poems.

I'd love to hear your honest thoughts. Feel free to email any reviews to jacy@artbyjacy.com

Answered Prayer and a Giveaway

I am so excited, I cannot even contain myself as I write this post!!

Many, if not all, of you know that I have written a book called "The Palace Keepers: Protecting the Purity of the Heart." In a nutshell, the book is non-fiction and I share my testimony on how God plucked me out of a relationship that was saturated with sin, guilt and shame and placed me into His marvelous hands.
I also talk about the lessons Jesus taught me through my journey towards salvation; mainly emotional purity, the foundation of the book.

Jesus showed me that in order to be pure physically, we must first be pure in our hearts. To do that, He has called us to be our Palace Keepers, protecting every inch of our palaces. This includes our minds (the Gate), our thoughts (the Courtyard), our decisions (the Foyer), our hearts (the Throne Room) and our bodies (the Grounds). It is our job, not only to watch what goes in and out of our palaces, but to place King Jesus firmly on the throne, in the Throne Room of our hearts, that He may lead us and give us guidance as we do our jobs.

God has been amazing and wonderful! My first run of books have almost sold out, in less than a year! Wow that blows my mind as a new author. Remember when I shared my adventures in this post? Seems like forever ago.

Well, the Lord has made a way for me to order more books and they are almost here! I sent in my re-order form last week for 100 books. Normally, it takes at least 20 business days for the books to print, then another 5 or so for shipping. Well I have a conference I'm attending next weekend so I prayed in faith that God will somehow make a way...and did He ever!
Not only were the books printed in 7 days, they were shipped as well! They are scheduled to arrive this Tues...that is less than 2 weeks from when I sent the form and exactly 3 days from the conference!! Praise God!

I am giving you all a chance to pre-order your copy online now, so you can receive your book as soon as possible. All pre-orders will receive a free bookmark. As a special Christmas promotion (it's not that far away, ahhh) starting now until the end of the year, if you buy more than one book, shipping is free! I will also be doing special gifting, so if you would like that second book shipped to a different address for the holidays, let me know in the message to seller their name and address, and I will wrap it up nice with fancy paper and a note, and ship it for you! Pretty sweet huh?

Also, I thought it would be cool to give one lucky winner a free E-book edition of "The Palace Keepers" below! This is compatible with any PC or tablet device. The giveaway will go through the weekend and end on Monday, the 15th at 12am. Thank you all for your support and love! I'm so blessed by everyone and I want to give back. May the Lord guide you today & always xoxo
