September Reflections & Our Daily Bread Writing Update

Welcome to fall! I enjoy this weather and entering a new season.

I also tend to start getting nostalgic around this time of the year. September is the anniversary of when God chased me down in Sydney Australia. I’ve written about Sydney in my books and a few articles. I’m also writing about it in my upcoming book God-Given Dreams (NavPress/Tyndale Alliance, releasing March 5, 2024).

This September marks my 7th year attending Times Square Church in person and online. What a blessing!

This month also marks nine years since I won Our Daily Bread‘s Writing Contest for Readers in September 2014. You can read more about my connection to Our Daily Bread in this blog post.

As I look back and reflect, I’m grateful for how God has blessed me and seen me through.

As I look ahead, I’d like to share an update to my announcement in this blog post about becoming an author for Our Daily Bread‘s main devotional.

I’m rejoicing (my One Word for this year) that this past summer included a lot of writing including many articles for Our Daily Bread’s main devotional booklet. God willing, my first articles for Our Daily Bread‘s devotional will be published in May 2024. Please mark your calendars.

I’ll definitely share more updates as we get closer to next May, but I wanted to share the great news now.

You can usually find the printed Our Daily Bread devotionals in churches, Christian schools, hospitals, etc. You can also sign up to have the devotionals mailed to you or find the entries online and on their app. You can learn more about all the different ways you can access the devotionals and all the different languages and countries they’re available in on their website ODB.org.

I appreciate your prayers and support as I live out this God-given dream!

Please stay tuned for more writing updates.
