Three amazing ladies Ginny Dye, Sandi Valentine and Susan Karlsson from Together We Can Change the World and My Power Mall have setup Someone Believes in You! Their purpose is to encourage and empower people so that each person will be who he or she was intended to be. In Jeremiah 29:11 God says "I know the plans I have for you, plans to bless you and lead you to a good future." These three ladies want to encourage and come alongside people so that they can fulfill all the plans that God has for them.
How do they do this?
When you join the site they will send a Certificate to whoever you want it sent. Maybe your friend who has been struggling with various problems or it could be a teenage son or daughter who is struggling with growing up or you just want to encourage a member of the family. The certificate can be sent with your name or anonymously. Here is a sample of a Certificate:
Sample of a Certificate
An email each day
After the certificate is sent each day the person is sent an email. Every day they can look forward to an email from Give Someone Believes in You Club. There are two types of email. One for teenagers and one for adults. Here is a sample:

Hi _____________,
Ever had a Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip cookie? Ymmmm.!
When you think of Mrs. Fields, do you see a grandmotherly type woman churning out trays of cookies in her hot kitchen. Think again. Let me tell you the story of Debbie Fields.
Debbie was only 19 years old when she reached a cross-roads in her life. She was married to a well-known Economist and Futurist, and had quit work to play the role of a conventional wife. She hadn't expected her decision to deal such a hard blow to her self-esteem. No one seemed to think she had anything to offer - including herself.
One night, at a party, things reached a head. People were falling all over themselves to talk to her husband - they were treating her like she was an absolute zero, walking away from her in most conversations. Until the party host approached her. She tried to talk to him, answering his barrage of questions. She tried to appear sophisticated, urbane and clever - failing miserably at her attempt to be something she wasn't.
Her host finally asked, "What do you intend to do with your life?
Debbie was a nervous wreck at this point. She blurted out, "Well, I'm mostly trying to get orientated."
Her host looked at her with digust. "The word is oriented," he snapped. "There is no such word as orientated. Why don't you learn to use the English language?" He spat out his words and walked away.
Well, you can imagine. Debbie was crushed. She cried all the way home. But somewhere, in the middle of all the tears, she made a decision. She would never, never, NEVER let something like that happen again. She was done living in someone else's shadow. She would find something of her own.
But what?!
The only thing Debbie was really good at was making cookies. She had been baking and experimenting with recipes since was 13. She'd add more butter; use less flour; or try different kinds of chocolate. She'd finally hit on a recipe that she believed was ideal. Her cookies were soft, buttery and crammed with chocolate chips.
She realized she had to use her gifts so. Debbie decided to open a cookie store. Every single person in her life told her it wouldn't work. No one believed in her.
It didn't matter. On August 18,1977, when Debbie was 20, she opened her first store. No one came. By noon she was desperate. She stared at the empty store and decided if she was going to go out of business, she would at least do it in style.
Debbie loaded up a tray of cookies and went out in to her shopping arcade, trying to give away cookies. No one would take them. She figured she had nothing to lose at this point, so she headed out to the street. She begged, pleaded and wheedled until people finally took her samples. She smiled as their faces lit up.
She went back to the store and sold cookies to the people who had followed her wanting more. By the end of the day she had sold $50 worth. The next day she sold $75 worth.
The rest is Cookie History.
Debbie Fields is now the owner of over 600 stores - with sales in the multi-millions. She is also the mother of 5. She did indeed find something of her own!
You will face obstacles. You will face people who don't believe in your dreams. So what? It's YOUR life. It will become what YOU decide to make it.
Right now - TODAY - you have gifts that can make a difference in how you live your life. How will you use them? What will you do? It's up to you.

I just want to tell you Thanks. And if you could pass it on to whoever gave this to me, that would be great. My emails are like friends. I can't wait to read them every day. The stories are great and they have helped me a lot. The other day I had something real hard to do. I was really scared. Then that email came about dealing with your fears. I decided if that girl could do it, so could I. I did it! It felt great. I know the next time won't be so hard. Keep the emails coming.I just want to tell you Thanks.

I found out about Someone Believes In You and thought it would be perfect for my teenager. It's been wonderful to have her tell me about the different stories she hears and how it is helping her. What I didn't anticipate is what they would do for me.
I asked to receive copies so I would know what my daughter was receiving. I just scanned them in the beginning to make sure there wasn't anything objectionable but then they started to get to me and I began to read more slowly. Gradually I began to realize that it was not only my daughter who needed them. I needed them too!
The letters have made me laugh & cry. They have challenged my beliefs and actions and they've made me really evaluate my life. I'm a different person than I was 2 months ago when the letters started. My daughter and I talk about each one. We've grown closer and she sees me as a real person now - with my own struggles, dreams and fears. We've set goals together and we're working to make them come true.
I hope you can come up with letters for many years to come because I will always want them to be a part of my life! Thank you so much.
