Celebrating Writing Breakthrough

I’ve wanted to write for Our Daily Bread since before I won their Online Writing Contest for Readers in 2014. After years of praying and preparing … I’m thrilled to be a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread‘s VOICES Collection’s popular Rhythms of Rest and On the Shoulders of Giants devotionals. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Let’s see what the Lord does next … to God be the Glory!

I’ve got great news to share about the special On the Shoulders of Giants devotional. It’s already their most successful Black History devotional! They’ve distributed more than 50,000 copies already and have back orders for more. God is Good!

You can still order FREE printed booklets here.

You can now also sign up for the online version here.

If you’re already reading through the devotional this month, let me know in the comments. And if you find my entry, I hope you’re blessed. P.S. My entry is on Wednesday, February 9.

Musing on Writing and Season 2 of “The Chosen” TV Series

I finally started watching Season 2 of “The Chosen” the other day. It’s so great how they showed John feeling compelled to interview the others and to write, record, journal and document their memories and experiences and insights and thoughts after having been with Jesus .. I can sooo relate…. that’s what compels me to communicate the love of God through books and blog posts and social media posts and podcast episodes and YouTube videos and at in-person and virtual events and here and abroad, etc … (including pre-pandemic on street corners, subways and plazas in other countries, sometimes even in broken Spanish)… Oh my…

And over the years to family, friends, strangers, Bible college and Bible school students, United Nations workers, women in shelters, nursing home residents, the homeless, those young and older, men and women and children and teens …

WHY???

Because I’m called to tell others …

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8 NIV)

On a related note, I guess it’s also why I’ve enjoyed documenting and sharing stories and memories about my Dear Dad …

Writers WRITE. Communicators SPEAK. Reporters REPORT.

They also record & document and share memories… it’s what I do and how I’m wired. Thanks for staying on this faith journey with me!

Looking forward to sharing some updates with you soon about different projects I’m working on. In the meantime, you can read about some of my past experiences in By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad available on Amazon.

You can also check out the NEW and short Abounding Faith Books video right below.

3 Ways to Make the Rest of the Year the Best of Your Year

God’s plan for your life hasn’t changed. Even in 2020, the rest of your year can be the best of your year. If you need help moving forward by faith, here are three great options for you:

Keep Learning

If you’re yearning to live with passion and purpose, you’re invited to take the “Discovering Your God-Given Purpose” online course. This short and easy-to-follow online course will help empower, equip and encourage you as you discover and live out the call of God on your life. You can take the inspiring course at your own pace and from the comfort of your home. Learn more here.

Don’t Go it Alone

Feel stuck in a rut or confused about your next steps?  If you need help going from:

  • frazzled to focused
  • frustrated to fruitful
  • fearful to fierce

I’d be delighted to be your life coach to prayerfully help bring breakthrough, transformation and change to your life as well as:

  • Confidence
  • Confirmation
  • Clarity
  • Courage

You can learn more about personalized life coaching here.

Get Writing

Are you feeling called to honor God through writing a book but have gotten stuck along the way? As I gear up to release Book 5, there are lots of lessons I’ve learned over the years. I’d like to help you advance in your writing journey. If you’ve hit a brick wall with your work in progress and need some guidance from someone who has been down those roads before, I’d be delighted to answer your burning questions. For a limited time, I’m offering a “Write that Book” 1-hour strategy call so we can work together to uncover what is hindering and keeping you stuck with your current book project and map out a way for you to continue moving forward.

Mid-Year Check In for 2019

My year of “Surprises” continues to be a blessing, thank God!

It was an honor to be invited back by Nyack College to speak at Chapel and to be back at the pulpit leading the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant for the fifth year in a row!

It was also an honor to teach the Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible summer class at the New York School of the Bible based on one of my books!

It was a delight to have my 8th article appear on Charisma‘s website.

I’m now working on Book 5 and gearing up for my third women’s conference.  Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference will be in October. I’m thrilled to welcome back Nyack College as the Presenting Sponsor.

I’m looking forward to the surprises God has in store for the rest of 2019.

How is your year going?

Do you remember the “One Word” you chose at the beginning of the year? Are you remembering to Pray, Dream, Do & Repeat?

Are you seeing God’s faithfulness in your daily life? I sure hope so!

As we look ahead to the second half of 2019, I hope you will continue the year on fire for the Lord!

If you need a boost in your faith, Abounding Faith’s uplifting books, podcast, blog and YouTube channel are here to help spur you on as you live your God-given dreams.

I’d also be delighted to share a Bible-based message with your group and share the love and hope found in Jesus at your next retreat, chapel service, outreach or other event. Here’s a super short video that highlights some of the speaking and writing I’ve been called to do in this season of my life. You can also learn more here.

If you’re still feeling called to write a book, I’d be happy to help make that dream a reality. For a limited time, I’m offering a “Write that Book” Strategy Call to help guide you in your book writing journey. You can learn more here.

May the latter half of your year be even better than the first!

I hope to continue sharing more good news with you. Thanks for your encouragement and for staying on this journey with me.

Let’s make the rest of the year the best of our year!

Blessings!

Book 4 Update!

I’m delighted to share that my editor had such lovely feedback about Book 4!

She said I did a wonderful job on the book and that my manuscript was a huge blessing. She loved learning about me and traveling with me to different countries. She said my testimony of how God did a miracle in me and then used me to spread His Good News around NYC and the globe was a true inspiration. All glory to God!

After a few tweaks and edits on my end, the manuscript is now back with my editor for her final look.

The editing phase is one of most challenging parts of the writing process. I appreciate your prayers as I near the end of this part of the journey. There’s still much more to come before the fall release.
