5 Bible Verses to Help You Wait on God Well!

5-bible-verses-to-boost-your-faith-3

Are you frustrated or anxious because you don’t see God moving in your life? Are you tempted to give up and walk away from all that God has promised you? Don’t quit in the middle of your journey!

Here are 5 Bible verses to help as you wait on God to move in your life:

  • “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)
  • “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. (Psalm 130:5)
  • “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
  • “We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” (Psalm 33:20)
  • “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1)

I hope you will pray over, mediate, and memorize these verses and find more in the Bible. If you’d like more encouragement, I invite you to check out my book Waiting on God Well: How to Prevent Breaking Down on Your Way to Your Breakthrough! You’ll find insightful tips, practical action steps, and plenty of inspiring Bible verses to help as you walk through whatever valley, desert, or wilderness you are in.

Letting God Lead! (Revisited)

When God opened the door for me to appear on the show “Open” on BronxNet last August to talk about my book Waiting on God Well, I prayed and went. It was a different type of mission field. But as long as God was there, I was fine. I couldn’t have asked for a more gracious host than Bob Lee! He even let me pray on air! Glory!

I hope you’re encouraged by taking another look at the interview and the original “Let God Lead” blog post from last year.

Blessings to you as you Wait on God Well!

Reflections on Speaking Up

microphone-1261793_960_720

The Lord continues to open doors for me to speak about Him, and I am excited! This is part of what I’ve been Waiting on God Well for during these last couple of years.

I didn’t know how, or when, or really even what I wanted to say. I just knew that God was calling me to write and speak for His glory.

A few weeks ago, the Lord allowed me to once again run the service at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant in Upstate, NY. What an honor! It was great to visit my college friend and the folks at her church. It’s a blessing to get to do even simple things like choosing the bulletin for that Sunday’s service. It’s a privilege to get to lead the service, bring the sermon, and fellowship with the congregation afterward.

13418891_612129078950482_8379208911097803994_n

The following Saturday, the Lord allowed me to visit my friends at Woodcrest, the nursing home where my friend, Chaplain Jamary, runs a beautiful Bible study and service. My friends at Woodcrest were the first small group to study Waiting on God Well. They are the first small group to be reading Abounding Faith. It was a bit surreal to join them as they studied my book! I was encouraged to hear their thoughts about that week’s Bible character, Paul. It was also a blessing to get to worship with them and speak to them during the service time.

I’ve also gotten to speak to Connect Group leaders from Every Nation NYC and got to run the Prayer Breakfast that my friends at Queens NY AGLOW held yesterday where Elder Barbara Chisholm of Perfecting Faith Church was the guest speaker.

13507067_617721765057880_2339641089402376491_n

I don’t take all of this lightly. Speaking about God and to His people is an honor! Now I’m starting to see why He’s been taking so much time and care preparing me for this season of my journey. I certainly didn’t get here overnight. And I still have a long way to go and lots to learn, but I’m delighted that the Lord would allow me to be His ambassador and witness through the written and spoken word.

I’ll be sure to share lessons I’m learning along the way. For now, I’d like to thank you again for being on this journey with me! God is moving! I’d like to remind you that God loves you more than you know! He loves you more than you can even imagine!

God wants to speak to you through His Word, the Bible. The Bible is God’s love letter to you and your instruction manual:

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

I hope you are taking time to soak in God’s presence. That’s where He’ll reveal His plans for you and give you the grace to make it through your day, week, and life!

I look forward to sharing more with you about my speaking journey!

If you’re having an event or gathering and would like me to come speak to your group, I’d be delighted to learn more about it! Please visit my speaking page for more information.

Blessings to you as you take steps forward in your faith journey!

Happy Halftime of the Year!

calendar-660670_1920

Happy June! It’s the month when we celebrate summer, grads, dads, and weddings. It’s also the halfway point of the year. It’s the perfect time to take stock of how the year is going.

How are you doing with your goals? Do you remember the one word you picked out for 2016 or the resolution you made in January?

Despite any trials, tests, or difficulties you may be facing, is this year shaping up to be as great as you had hoped? Are you drawing closer to Jesus? Is your faith in God increasing? I pray your answer is, “Yes!”

You may recall that my one word for this year is NEW. I’m delighted that so far my year has been filled with new experiences! You can read about the launch of my new book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible, my very first Abounding Faith Live event, and hear about my visits to the United Nations. I’m also getting to meet new people and visit new places.

Can you tell that I am grateful to God for this *new* season that I am in? I’m so thankful for those who are praying for me as I continue on my faith journey!

I pray that you are see God moving in your life and that you will accomplish all the good works God has predestined for you.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)

If you are feeling stuck, discouraged, or confused about how to live your God-given passion and purpose, I would love to help you make the rest of the year the best of your year as your Life Coach. I would be delighted to help you identify your God-given dreams, explore what’s holding you back from living those dreams, prayerfully map out a plan together so you can reach your goals, and hold you accountable and pray for you along your journey. If you’d like to learn more about having me as your Life Coach, please click here.

May you be even more fruitful in the upcoming six months! Blessings!

Reflections on Abounding Faith Live

IMG_5190 - Copy

I’m so touched by everyone who braved the stormy weather to be part of my very first Abounding Faith Live event! God placed the idea for this event in my heart awhile ago. It was so special to get to live out this part of the dream!

I’m grateful to my friends at Queens NY AGLOW for partnering with me and Open Bible Church Int’l for allowing us to use their beautiful church!

13240571_599864423510281_7414554666849135875_n

What a blessing it was to have this father and daughter duo of Orisi and Tabitha Rabukawaqa lead us during the worship time!

My hope is that those who attended the event were inspired to believe God for the impossible! I pray that folks were blessed during the time of worship, prayer, and fellowship afterwards!

I also pray that readers are inspired by my new book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible!

God willing, I plan to have more Abounding Faith Live events. If you are interested in hosting an Abounding Faith Live event, please email Info@AboundingFaith.com. Blessings!

Announcing Abounding Faith Live

Abounding Faith Live NO ADDRESS

I’m excited to share that I will be hosting my very first Abounding Faith Live event on May 14! I hope that everyone who comes will be inspired to believe God for the impossible!

I’m delighted to be partnering with my friends at Queens NY Aglow. I’m looking forward to sharing an encouraging word and spending time with you in prayer, praise, and fellowship! If you are in the NYC area, I hope you can join me. All are welcome! Light refreshments will be served. For more info, please email Info@AboundingFaith.com.

So why is an introvert like me hosting events? Because I believe the Lord is calling me to speak and write for His glory!

This decision is similar to hopping on a plane to go on missions trips to the Amazon in Brazil, the Andes in Ecuador, the slums of Ethiopia, and the streets of Honduras and Peru. It’s similar to leading outreaches in NYC and having the courage to share my thoughts on this blog and in my books.

When God says it’s time to go on an adventure with Him, it’s time.

I feel blessed to be in this season of sharing the Good News of the Gospel with hurting people and encouraging believers in their faith!

I’m touched by those who have come alongside of me and are supporting me with their prayers and encouraging words!

It’s a blessing to get to share some of this journey with you right here on this blog. I hope my story encourages you to Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat!

Has God placed a dream in your heart? If God is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31)

Many blessings to you as you run the race that God has for you, and keep your eyes on Jesus until you cross your finish line!

Reflections on Abounding Faith’s Book Launch

12376351_582615178568539_4737741060144194914_n - Copy

I’m in awe of what God is doing in my life. I look at the picture above of the two books God has allowed me to write and the mugs and journals that He’s allowed me to create, and I’m kinda stunned that I had a part in any of it.

12938236_582695928560464_8940400313139771783_n - Copy

I look at this picture of my family and friends who attended yesterday’s book launch, and I’m so touched by all the love and support I felt last night. Writing can be so solitary, so I am grateful to get to share this moment with those who attended. It was a sweet mix of family as well as friends from different stages of my life. My friends represented more than 6 countries. I love having such a diverse group of friends! A special thank you to all the volunteers who helped make yesterday such a success!

12923341_582698648560192_2693205401494878373_n

I look at this picture and I barely recognize myself! I guess that’s a good thing. I’m being refined in this process. I’m enjoying this season that I’m in. This journey I’m on is filled with valley and mountain top experiences. It’s filled with adventure and ordinary moments. Walking by faith isn’t easy, but it is worth it! Every experience helps to conform us into the image of Christ. I had lots of fiery darts from the enemy aimed at me during the writing and release of Abounding Faith, but guess what? Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world (1 John 4:4) and no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17)! So I can look ahead with confidence knowing that God’s got me!

IMG_4429 - Copy

Now this book is out of my hands and into the hands of readers where it belongs! I pray that you are blessed by Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! I pray that you will see God do the seemingly impossible in your life! The Bible heroes I spotlight in this devotional were regular men and women just like you and me. It’s God who did all the miracles in their lives! The Bible says Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). I pray you will have the courage to Believe!

If Abounding Faith blesses you, please take a moment to write a kind review on Amazon. Two sentences is plenty! Thank you! I look forward to sharing more thoughts and pics from the book launch, and I’m excited to hear how the book is touching you! Thanks for being on this journey with me! There’s more to come. All Glory to God!

Abounding Faith Devotional Now Available on Amazon!

Copy of Coming Soon (7)

I’m so excited to share that my second book is now available on Amazon! My prayer is that Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible will be a blessing to all who read it!

It’s been a rough road to get to this place of finally getting to share this book with others. I’m delighted that now anyone in the world can get this devotional by simply clicking on this link! All glory to God!

As Christians, we’re called to walk by faith and not by sight. Many times that’s easier said than done. As you read about some of the heroic moments in the lives of these 30 men and women from the Bible, I pray your faith will be stirred to believe God for the impossible! This devotional includes Bible verses, reflection questions, and prayer prompts to encourage you on your faith journey! It’s great to read on your own or with your small group.

A common theme in both of my books, Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith, is how important it is to trust God! My hope is that when I write and speak, you will be encouraged to read your Bible and believe God! God is Faithful! He is Trustworthy! Prayer Works! Pray and let God answer in His timing and His way!

God loves you more than you know!

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4: 9-10)

As we get ready to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, it’s a perfect time to remember that not even death could conquer Jesus! His name is above every name!

What seemingly impossible circumstances are you facing in your life? Do you believe that God will see you through? Nothing is impossible for God! Believe!

If my devotional does encourage you, please take a moment to leave a kind review on Amazon and tell your friends about this new book as well. Thank you! Blessings!
