Contributing Writer for NEW Our Daily Bread VOICES Collection Devotional

I’m thrilled to share some big writing news. I’m now a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread‘s VOICES Collection! I’ve written TWO entries for this NEW lovely devotional.

Another writing longing has been fulfilled. I’ve wanted to write for Our Daily Bread since before I won their Online Writing Contest for Readers back in September 2014 … God is Good! I’m grateful for this writing breakthrough.

Rhythms of Rest launches tomorrow. You can pre-order it TODAY on Amazon or straight from Our Daily Bread here.

Thanks for your continued prayers and encouragement! If you’d like to order a signed copy from me, please message me on Facebook or Instagram.

Here’s a little more about the book:

Rhythms of Rest provides a respite for you to simply be still and spend time with the Lord. These 40 meaningful devotions from leaders in Black and multicultural communities and churches invite you to pause and reflect on Scripture as you ponder topics like soul care, sisterhood, seasons of life, and Spirit-led living.

Persevere – Monday Motivation with Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith Coaching & Consulting

It’s easy to want to quit pursuing your God-given dreams when you face various obstacles and challenges. It’s harder to press in and persevere!

Tempted to give up in your messy middle?

Take heart. If God has called you, He will make a way.

If you need help continuing to move forward by faith, I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach and to prayerfully help you gain the clarity, confidence and courage to live your God-given purpose.

Blessings on your faith journey!

A draft of Book 6 is with my early Readers now. Your prayers are appreciated!

All books are challenging to write. This one is no exception.

I started writing Book 6 before my Dear Dad went to heaven. After a brief pause, I’m so grateful that God gave me the grace to continue writing.

Please pray for all the women who will be encouraged by this book.

Please stay tuned for MORE writing news coming very soon.

Thank you again for your prayers and support of this Indie Latina Christian Author, Communicator and Creative as I share the messages that God has placed on my heart.

Register for the Abounding Faith: Choosing Faith Over Fear Online Course at the New York School of the Bible

Back when I released the Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! devotional, I had no idea that I’d be getting ready to teach a course based on it for the third straight year!

God is Good!

I’m so honored to be invited to teach this online course during the Fall I semester at the New York School of the Bible (NYSB).

I’ve taught it in the classroom on Saturday mornings and virtually on Monday nights for Summer sessions. This time we’ll be meeting online on Tuesday nights starting September 14.

I’m looking forward to meeting this semester’s students. We’re going to have a lovely time digging into God’s Word and letting our faith arise! I hope YOU will join us from anywhere in the world! Last time, we had a student in Taiwan join us.

Here’s the course description:

I hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining us. It’s going to be a blessed time.

Registration opens today. You can learn more here.

Looking Back at Three July Short-Term Missions Trips

Three of the 5 short-term missions trips I’ve been on took place in the month of July. My missions trips have taken me to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador (left pic) and the streets of Ethiopia, Honduras (right pic) and Peru (bottom pic). Missions trips weren’t on my radar when I was growing up, but when God calls, it’s best to listen. He knows what’s on the other side of our YES!

I share many miraculous and lovely testimonies from these trips and more in my book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad. By Faith will stir your heart to follow God’s plan for your life. It includes a chapter on how to live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide you can use with your small group or book club. By Faith is available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

Blessings as you move forward by faith!

P.S. All these pics were taken at such pivotal moments in those trips. That stadium experience in Honduras (top right pic) was incredible! I felt like an Olympian for Jesus. God is Good!

Celebrating My Dad – An Ode to the Olympics & Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

Being that this week marks the start of the Olympics and it’s the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing, I’d like to share more tributes to my Dear Dad.

Olympiac Daze Part 1: What do you do when your daughter is OBSESSED with the Olympics and wants to experience all the revelry? You take her and her sister to watch TWO Olympic gymnastics trials LIVE and help to send them to the Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece! And after years of your daughter dreaming about the Olympics, you drive her to the airport and help send her to Sydney as a reporter and spectator to help make her Olympic dreams come true ….THAT’S MY DAD 💖 (Note: My Mom has been equally supportive of my past Olympic fever.)

Olympiac Daze Part 2: What do you do when your daughter is OBSESSED with skating and gymnastics and mesmerized by the Olympics? You help to fuel her passion by listening to her talk about it nonstop and you buy her top-of-the-line skates, guide her as she practiced driving to the gym and help send her to a prestigious gymnastics sleepaway camp where Olympians trained and coached (even if you got so lost driving to Pennsylvania) and you cheer her on at her first skating competition and get her flowers. I can go on and on about how my Dad (and Mom) helped to support my Olympic dreams… yup, enjoying the sports I so loved and helping me to experience them firsthand…. THAT’S MY DAD 💖 (Folks, I wasn’t kidding when I said I was an Olympiac … sports helped me through my teen years…)

Over the Moon – My Connection to Apollo 11: My Dear Dad was blessed to witness and touch different moments in history throughout his life. I blogged about my Dad’s role in the Lunar Landing project back in July 2019. You can read the blog post by clicking here.

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.
