Wednesday afternoon, I got my first ilybox!
Who doesn’t love getting a package in the mail in the first place?
I couldn’t wait to see what Crystal had tucked away in the first of many ilyboxes to come. I eagerly opened the packaging and snipped away the tape that sealed my ilybox.
I know you want to know what ilybox is, and you want to see it, too! So, I'll show you!
With the happy and phenomenal spirit of joy inspired entrepreneurialism,
and everything else that must go in to starting your own business....
...my friend
Crystal is officially introducing the world to the ilybox.
Just starting out, she’s looking for
new customers and friends who will share her vision with those around us who
need some encouragement. Yes, we’ll be encouraged ourselves, but, what’s
greater is that we’re helping to fill a need in someone else’s life.
You’ve heard clichés about giving
from the heart; about giving ‘til it hurts and about giving to those who cannot
repay you.
The Bible even tells us that when we
lend to someone, not to expect a return, but to rejoice in the blessings of
those who can and eventually will be able to repay you. So, you’re not just happy
about the fact that you’re getting back what you lent or gave away, you’re
truly rejoicing for the prosperity of the individual you gave to in the first
place, whether you knew them or not.
Even when our lives are at their
best, we have rough days.
But, when we find ourselves in the
low spots – in the hospital, in jail or even in a shelter of some sort in need
of rescue, our rough days are numbered in sequential order, sometimes with no
end in sight.
When someone comes along and
unexpectedly blesses us, the excitement is multiplied by the unexpectedness of
it.
Crystal Ferry is sharing her love –
and ours, with the women around us who need it the most. She’s inviting us to
share our love and encouragement and support with women we don’t even know,
through her new ministry and business, ilybox.
You’ll see this on her website, but here’s
her heart-filled mission.
“Ilybox is a monthly subscription box that brings hope, love, and
inspiration through scripture, challenges, and amazing products. We strive to
give God the glory with everything we create and do….
For every ilybox purchased, an #ilygoxo box will be supplied to
someone in need of God’s love whether that be in a hospital, jail, women’s
shelter, at-risk youth shelter, or elsewhere. Our goal
is to supply the world with hope and encouragement.”

"For every ilybox purchased, an #ilygoxo (ilygoxo = I love
you – go – x.o.) box will be given to someone in need at the location of your
choice whether that be in a jail, hospital, or women’s shelter. We strive
to meet Jesus’ command in Mark 16:15 that says “Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all creation.”
The #ilygoxo boxes will be slightly different than the
ilybox because they’re curated for outreach, discipleship, and bringing more
people to Christ.
#ilygoxo is the heart of the ilybox.”
Each ilybox will deliver encouragement
and love. Though the contents will be different each month, this box held:
*the sweetness of Divine Chocolate (their
story is on the inside of the chocolate wrapper - that's all that's left of my milk chocolate and toffee bar.....)
*inspiration from scripture on
beautifully designed cards – ilycards
*30 challenges to spark my inspiration
*the reminder to let my light shine
with a Bright Band
*a journal
*and the joys of receiving AND giving – all packaged
beautifully – as a gift!
Go explore the ilybox website; you’ll
want to take part in sharing the love, too – Crystal has provided me my very
own unique 10% off coupon code – to share with YOU! When you place your first
order, use this discount code: VIPHW10
God bless you, Crystal - and all that you put your heart and mind and hands to!
