This year marks many major milestones for my work and ministry through Abounding Faith.

As I look back on this past decade, I’m in awe of God’s faithfulness. And I’m grateful for all the breakthroughs and God-given dreams He’s allowed me to experience.

After years of preparing me through prayer, studying the Bible, serving in the local church, going on outreaches across NYC and on five short-term missions trips to five countries and going to Bible school, the Lord called me into this season of writing, speaking, teaching and more for His glory!

It’s been a long and winding journey, but God has been leading and guiding me every step of the way.

Hope you enjoy this short video with highlights from the past decade.

As you may know, I’m a journaler turned journalist turned author.

This past decade, God has allowed me to write and contribute to 7 books and host 10 events. Glory!

Here’s a timeline of some of the highlights from these 10 years of being an author, speaker and more:

• 2015 – Released Book 1 Waiting on God Well, interviewed on a local TV station and joined Instagram and X (Twitter)
• 2016 – Released Book 2 Abounding Faith, spoke to a group of Christians working at the United Nations and gave brief testimony at Times Square Church
• 2017 – Released Book 3 Crossing Your Jordan River, hosted first Women’s Conference (SOAR) and spoke at chapel for the first time at NYACK College
• 2018 – Released Book 4 By Faith and hosted second Women’s Conference (Mighty Women of Valor) and launched the Abounding Faith for Today podcast
• 2019 – Taught first Summer course (in person) for the New York School of the Bible and hosted third Women’s Conference (BELOVED)

• 2025 – 20th devotional article published in Our Daily Bread, reached 1,000 Followers on Instagram and working on different projects (stay tuned)

I couldn’t have done all of this on my own.

I’m so thankful for God’s grace as well as for the love and support from my family, my praying friends, all my Readers near and far, my Email Community, those who’ve attended my events over the years and those who’ve invited me to speak at their church and to their group, whether in person or online.

Some friends and partners along the way have included my CWEN Sisters, The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center, Queens AGLOW, local pastors, my friends at the upstate church and local nursing homes and many others.

I appreciate your continued prayers as I plan for the next decade and beyond.

This faith journey isn’t as easy or glamorous as you may think.

It takes much prayer, dedication, perseverance, hard work, creativity and FAITH!
