Celebrating the 1st Anniversary of God-Given Dreams (NavPress)

What a joy it’s been to share God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress) with Readers near and far!

It’s been a blessing to hear that God-Given Dreams has inspired Readers and encouraged them as they’ve sought to discover and live God’s plan for their life.

I wrote this book for the lovely women of diverse backgrounds, ages and life stages I’ve crossed paths with over the years.

It’s so wonderful to be able to encourage my Readers.

I pray God-Given Dreams will continue inspiring my sisters in Christ across the country and around the globe.

I pray the insights, stories from various women in the Bible (Bible Beauties), personal anecdotes, reflection questions, prayer prompts and my Six Cs of Transformation framework will empower you on your faith journey.

If you’ve been inspired by reading God-Given Dreams, I’d love to know. Kind ratings and reviews on Amazon or Goodreads are always very much appreciated.

As you continue to walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live YOUR God-given dreams, remember:

  • You are God’s Beloved Daughter
  • You are Created, Called and Chosen
  • God has Good Works for You to Do
  • You and I have been Called for Such a Time as This!

May you continue to shine your light for Christ.

Be sure to grab copies of God-Given Dreams for you and the fabulous women in your life today! Be inspired as you say YES to God’s plans for your life.

God-Given Dreams is available wherever books are sold. This empowering book is available in print, as an ebook and as an audiobook.

Thanks for all your prayers and support!

To God be the Glory!

Happy New Year! My One Word for 2025

We’ve made it to 2025, Praise God!

As I look ahead to this new year, I’m ready to prayerfully continue moving forward and continue experiencing even more breakthroughs.

My One Word for this year that I’d like to share is:

FRUITFUL

I’m praying this year and beyond will be filled with much fruit.

I’ll be meditating and standing on many Bible verses including:

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” (John 15:16 NIV)

We’re CHOSEN to BEAR FRUIT!

If you’ve read my book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress) you’ll recognize that Chosen is one of the Six Cs of Transformation.

I’m praying it’ll be another year of milestones and open doors.

I’m trusting it’ll be a year of Harvest and Jubilee!

We’re to grow in the Fruit of the Spirit:

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23 NIV)

And God’s got good works for us to do as it says in Ephesians 2:10 (NIV):

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

I’ve got a few book anniversaries coming up this year. I hope you’ll celebrate with me.

I also plan to continue writing, speaking, teaching, podcasting, coaching and more.

Please stay tuned for more details.

Thanks again for staying on this faith journey with me.

If you’re new around here, WELCOME!

I’m looking forward to sharing encouragement, inspiration and updates:

  • Here on my blog
  • Abounding Faith’s social media
  • Abounding Faith’s Email Community
  • Abounding Faith for Today podcast (available wherever you listen to podcasts)
  • Abounding Faith’s YouTube channel

Be sure to subscribe and like and follow Abounding Faith so we can stay connected.

As you look ahead to this new year, I pray you’ll also be filled with hope and faith.

May these 5 truths encourage you:

  • God is with Us
  • Nothing Surprises God
  • If God is for Us, who can be against Us
  • Greater is He who is in Us than he who is in the World
  • Jesus has Overcome the World

Feel free to share your One Word on Abounding Faith’s social media.

Let’s THRIVE in 2025!

To God be the Glory!
