The Encourager with Rebekah Scott

The Encourager with Rebekah Scott Helping faith-driven women balance home and work life with systems, confidence, and joy. In 2003, I founded Rebekah Scott Designs.

I have loved sewing since I was four years old when I would kneel next to my mom at her sewing machine and beg her to let me to cut scraps of fabric to create something of my own. Until she allowed me to belly up to her machine, I would craft things with tissues and a stapler. Eventually, Mom decided I had what it took to honor this tradition and passed the baton allowing me to sew and design with

her. My husband, Nicholas, and I wanted to start our family and I knew I wanted to stay at home, raising babies by my side. I desired to be an entrepreneur so Nicholas and I worked hard to become debt free with the Dave Ramsey program. Nick soon saw the itch I had for sewing and said, “Ok! Launch your business!” and LAUNCH I did! That night, I stayed up until 2am sewing in my happy place with my sewing machine humming and I thanked God for the opportunity to see my seeds grow. In the beginning, I did have a bit of a dry spell so I improvised. I was in need of fabric to create purses but didn’t have the cash flow. I paced around thinking of possible solutions and it hit me, “I have really cute curtains!” So there I was, cutting my curtains into adorable handbags and thanking the good Lord for making it rain! Sales were one by one to start but I have the best customers! Word of mouth and raving reviews from women who just had to share with their friends and family, I was along for the ride! Each ride granted me permission to continue sewing and designing for women all over the country! With every sale, each customer inspired me to try harder. I can always work to improve and be more creative with meeting the needs of my customers for design, originality and purpose. Every customer has the ability to design their own bag and tell their own story by selecting the fabric and purpose that appeals to them. I love hearing the various stories women tell about how their bag welcomed their baby home, watched a sister move away or landed their first job and needed a professional bag to stand out in the crowd. I love to be part of their story! Each year, my seeds grew new sprouts! I hired new employees to become more efficient and have the ability to harvest more fruit with different varieties for new customers. We employ South Dakota women who are eager to work and sew good seeds in a growing America. With plenty of help and continued support from our roots, Rebekah Scott Designs is a federally trademarked sales brand. I can’t emphasize enough how much I love what I have grown over these years. We have four little ones watching that the seeds are planted, grown and harvested each year. They continue to inspire me, put smiles in my heart and remind me why I grew such a large garden. Their grace allows me to balance the roles I have been blessed with. The Encourager podcast is my way to share everything I have learned in my 10+ years of growing a family and a business side by side. I enjoy giving encouragement and motivation to other women and offering advice for finding balance and systems for working in the home, while keeping it real!

Journal Prompts: Finish Well at 80%
As the year winds down, pause for a heart check. You don’t have to sprint to the finish line. Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is slow down, breathe, and realign.

2. How can I realign with what matters most?
3. What one small step can I take to finish well with gratitude?

Maybe finishing well looks like resting more, saying no to the extra, or celebrating quiet progress. Share your reflection below. What’s one thing you’re releasing before the year ends?

Feeling overwhelmed? My favorite percentage is 80%. 💛

It’s not about perfection. It’s about excellence, progress, and room to breathe. Save the remaining 20% for later if you need to. One small step can get you there.

Hey Encourages 💛, let’s pray about finishing the year well.

🙏 Father, thank You for today and for guiding us to finish well, not just strong. Help us take the steps You’ve placed before us, enjoy the journey, and leave room for You to move.

Harmony over hustle, every time.

Because peace is the real productivity. When we move with God’s rhythm instead of the world’s rush, we find rest, purpose, and joy right where we are.

What does harmony look like for you this week?

11/11/2025

Finishing well isn’t about doing more; it’s about trusting God’s rhythm. 🌿

When I catch myself striving, pushing, or forcing, I take a deep breath and step back. I ask, “What would finishing well look like instead of finishing strong?” How can I invite God to guide my steps today, instead of forcing the big leaps ahead of me?
