Since many of my followers have told me they learn best by reading or have sensory processing issues, I decided to make available my notes from my podcasts and YouTube videos available.

You may notice some podcasts and videos share very similar or even almost identical information.  That is because I believe it discussing what God puts on my heart.  Sometimes what He wants people to know is a repeat of previous information because they need a reminder.  One preacher I used to watch on TV said that she learned early on God didn’t always want her to share a “new” word.  Sometimes He wanted her to share a “now” word.  I’ve experienced the same thing with my work.

All notes are in .pdf format, so you will need Adobe Reader or another .pdf viewer to read them.  Feel free to download as many as you like.  When you click on the link, the notes will open in a separate window for you to read and/or download.

If you wish to use them for any reason other than for your personal reference, please contact me for permission at CynthiaBaileyRug@aol.com   Thank you!
