As a native New Yorker, Septembers can bring mixed emotions.
Today, I’m reflecting on some of the really special moments that God has allowed over the years during the month of September.
There was that life-changing September in Sydney when God called me to follow Him. My life has never been the same. Lessons Learned: God really does sees us and He will send the Holy Spirit across the world to chase us down if needed. God truly knows what’s on the other side of our Yes! You can read more about this encounter in my books God-Given Dreams (NavPress and By Faith).
There was that wonderful September I won Our Daily Bread‘s Online Writing Contest for Readers in 2014. That was such a huge confirmation to me that I was on the “write” path. My writing had been in hiding for years after the Lord asked me to lay down my journalism career. Lessons Learned: God could use my writing even though I was no longer a journalist. He really was calling me to write and speak for His glory.
There was the lovely September 10 years ago that God allowed me to start attending Times Square Church. What a blessings it’s been to be part of TSC’s in person and online community over the years! Lesson Learned: God has a remnant even at the “Crossroads of the World.”
Last September, I had the honor of sharing parts of my testimony in an article for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ website. What a blessing to get to share parts of my writing and faith journey through the ODBM site! I’m so touched to hear my devotional articles are very popular with readers worldwide. Lesson Learned: Our story can bring God’s glory near and far.
This September, my 40th devotional article ran in the global Our Daily Bread devotional! There are more to come. Stay tuned! You can read all my articles here.. Lesson Learned: God can keep pouring into as we keep pouring out to others.
Bonus: I’ve got some Book 8 news this September. Stay tuned!
It’s been a long and winding road.
There’s nothing better than being at the center of God’s will for your life.
Keep praying, preparing and persevering!
To God be the Glory!
As a Latina from New York, it’s also lovely to celebrate mi familia’s roots especially during Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15).
Gracias for staying on this faith journey with me!
