Editor ’ s letter

Dear Readers ,
Happy New Year ! Congratulations ! You made it !
No doubt you had a very merry Christmas with your loved ones , and you are now looking forward with great expectations to the year ahead . Have you written down your goals for the year ? I find that when I write goals for the year , I am focused and distractions are minimised .
I am very excited to present you with the first issue of DOZ Magazine for the year 2017 . I am also very pleased to inform you that DOZ Network will be launched during this year . DOZ Network is a Christian fellowship and charitable organisation for women . I will be sharing the vision with you in detail as we go along . You will discover during the year that there will be some major changes to DOZ Magazine . But I won ’ t let the cat out of the bag just yet .
This issue is packed with exciting articles and stories for your edification . We have featured Joyce Dias in DOZ
Eturuvie Erebor
That Inspire You . Joyce Dias turned down an arranged marriage which is in line with Indian tradition because she was a romantic young woman who believed in prince charming and happily ever after . After being dumped for the third time , she settled for being happily single , but God showed up and wrote her perfect love story . For the single women out there who desire to be married , this is a story you want to read . Joyce has a marriage made literally in Heaven . And God can do the same for you if you let Him .
Annmarie Givans has written an article , Pursuing Love the Godly Way . It is a brilliant one and blessed me . Rebecca is in a war against mould , so if you are having mould trouble this winter team up with Rebecca . Kim Donaby has written on Renewing the Mind and Body , and from Oge Adibenma , a director with MaryKay Cosmetics , comes Face Forward Image : A Radiant Skin is an Investment . Well , tell me about it .
Marilyn Smith has shared a powerful testimony of God ’ s faithfulness in the life of her daughter . It ’ s an emotional story so grab a box of Kleenex . And from Julie Clark comes the beautiful poem , “ Come and Kneel in Peace .”
Finally , there is “ Leadership Lessons from the Life of Ruth .” And “ Don ’ t Negotiate with the Opposition .” Both from yours truly .
I look forward to seeing you same time next month . Happy New Year !
