Mid-Year Check-In for 2025

How are we halfway through 2025?

How’s the year going for you so far?

Has it been filled with blessings or bumpier than expected?

Have you been living out your “One Word” for the year?

I think it’s been a pretty Fruitful year for me so far. It’s included celebrating major book milestones such as the 1st Anniversary of my first traditionally published book, God-Given Dreams (NavPress) and the 10th Anniversary of my very first indie book, Waiting on God Well!

It’s also included having my 18th devotional article published in the Our Daily Bread devotional that’s translated into more than 50 languages and available worldwide. I was also a speaker at the Publishing in Color Spring 2025 Online Conference, and I just wrapped up my sixth summer teaching for the New York School of the Bible. I even launched the new Beloved Called Chosen collection on Abounding Faith’s online store.

Only God could make all these breakthroughs happen!

I hope you enjoy reading my updates and encouraging thoughts:

  • Here on my Miraculous Lovely blog

I’m looking forward to having more news and updates and encouragement to share as the year continues to unfold. Please stay tuned.

Has it been an easy start to the year? Of course not.

But amidst the highs and lows, I hope we’re able to see God’s fingerprints all throughout the year and beyond.
