Roctober 2017 Reflections

What a blessing this Roctober has been! There have been some ups and downs, but overall it was another rocking October, thank God!

I’m so grateful to my family and friends who help to make this month so special! This month included a trip back to my birthday castle as well as flowers, a ferry ride around Manhattan, mariachi singers, cake and the non-alcoholic pina colada pictured above.

I also got to go back and lead the service at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant. It was sweet seeing my friends there and getting to do everything from choosing the bulletin cover, to choosing the songs, preaching the sermon and greeting folks on the way out. It’s still surreal to see my name outside one of their church buildings. God is Good!

Although this was my third time visiting this congregation, it was my first time at this particular church building so I was thrilled to see horses right across the street! This city girl loves horses! It was another special birthday gift from the Lord.

We also wrapped up the study of Crossing Your Jordan River. It’s been such a blessing to see and hear how the book encouraged this group. We celebrated with yummy food and this beautiful birthday fruit tart!

Amid the celebrations, I’ve also had some really productive meetings throughout the month and still have one very important speaking engagement. I look forward to sharing more about that soon.

In the meantime, thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I pray you are seeing God’s fingerprints in your life! If you’d like more encouragement in between blog posts, please make sure to follow Abounding Faith on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

If you’d like another look at the “God’s Princess Diaries” series that I shot during my first visit to my birthday castle, you can find the short and encouraging videos on Abounding Faith’s YouTube channel by clicking here.

Blessings!

Here’s what a few readers are saying about Waiting on God Well:

  • Waiting on God Well was quite insightful and encouraging. It gave some very practical tools that can help us continue waiting on the Lord and not give up!”  – Pastor Lillian Gutierrez, Love Gospel Assembly
  • Waiting on God Well is a good and simple read with excellent scriptural references/meditation and (my favorite), the action steps. They’re so HELPFUL! I feel that women, men or anyone who’s willing to seek God’s guidance can benefit from you book.” – Manni Lee, Associate Executive Director, Women of Wonder (WOW)
  • Waiting on God Well gave me time to address a deep prayer request of my heart I had sort of ‘buried.” I took your book on a plane trip, underlined and prayed my way thru, even journaling some. Thank you for your encouragement!” – Anonymous

First Look at Abounding Faith’s New “NY Blessings” Collection!

I’m excited to share the latest additions to Abounding Faith’s online store! I hope the new “NY Blessings” collection will inspire you as you live by Abounding Faith!

The “NY Blessings” collection includes sporty T-shirts that are great to wear on group outreaches or outings. The motivational mug and journal are perfect for your quiet times. The tote bag, magnet and keychain make great gifts for any occasion.

I’ve used the term “NY Blessings” for some time now, but the ideas for these designs only came together this summer.

It’s nice to take a break sometimes from creating with words to create with images. It’s as if the more I create and pour out, the more the Lord fills me with new ideas. Glory!

Whether I’m writing, speaking or designing, I hope whatever the Lord allows me to create inspires you to live your God-given dreams and reminds you that God is Good!

If you’d like to see your state represented in a similar design, please let me know and I will consider adding a few items to the online store. For now, I hope you like the “NY Blessings” collection. May it encourage you and your friends as you go out to be a blessing and get blessed! I’d love to see photos of you and whichever items you choose to buy.

Thanks so much for your support! Your support of Abounding Faith’s online store, books, events and more help me to continue encouraging others on their faith journey. Blessings!

What’s New at Abounding Faith?

July has been an interesting mix of enjoying the present, reflecting on the past, and preparing for what’s next.

It’s been a delight to be part of the small group of my friends who are studying Crossing Your Jordan River! It’s surreal to hear the group take turns reading the book out loud. I’m touched to hear how the book is blessing them. Some of the words used to describe the book are “powerful” and “challenging” and the questions at the end of the chapter were described as being “insightful.” At the end of our last meeting, one of the members said he couldn’t wait to read the next chapter. Glory to God!

There are currently three local groups studying my books. I hope Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith are on your summer reading list!

I’ve been so blessed by the positive feedback I’ve gotten from my current books that I’m inspired to keep writing. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve started drafting my fourth book! This book will include my testimony and stories about my adventures on five short-term missions trips, multiple outreaches in New York City, and various other travels and experiences. God is so good!

I’m also planning my next event and will be adding more inspirational items to Abounding Faith’s online store.

I’m grateful that you’re on this journey with me. I appreciate all your encouragement and support. I hope you will continue to tell others about Abounding Faith’s books, online store, YouTube channel and more. Together we can continue to encourage people to live their God-given dreams!

If you’re feeling stuck on your journey to living your God-given dreams, I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach. And if your dream is to honor God by writing a book, you can learn more about my Book Writing Coaching program and my Book Writing Strategy Call.

I look forward to sharing more updates with you soon.

I pray you have a blessed rest of the summer!

Reflections on Abounding Faith’s SOAR Women’s Conference!

God did it again! He gave me a dream/desire and then let me live that dream! He placed the word SOAR in my heart as a theme for this year, and He gave me the desire to have a women’s conference. After much praying and planning, the day finally arrived.

I’m so grateful to all the women who came to my very first women’s conference on Saturday! They were all so gracious and encouraging. We had a lovely time of fellowship, learning about God-given dreams, and praying and sharing some of those dreams.

I’m so touched by the feedback the ladies shared with me!  Here’s what one of the guests said was the best part of the conference for her:

“I was encouraged to pray and seek God for my life’s purpose.”

Wow, that statement alone is priceless and means my mission for this conference was accomplished!

Here’s a quick video from another guest. Priscilla is one of the leaders of Queens, NY AGLOW.

Here are a few pics with highlights from Saturday’s conference held at Open Bible Church International:

Here are some of the audacious dreamers & doers who wrote their dreams on our Dream Wall. (Inspired by Missions.Me and the Dream Walls our teams got to do with school kids on missions trips to Honduras and Peru).

The ladies were already asking about my next conference. Praise God!

I’m already praying about possibly having a co-ed conference in the fall. I hope you’re getting my monthly updates so you won’t miss any news.  If you’d like to be added to my mailing list, please email me at info@aboundingfaith.com.

I’d also love to come speak at your event! You can learn more about inviting me to come speak to your group here.

I’m grateful to my loving family, my fabulous volunteers, and my generous sponsors for all their support and encouragement.

A special thank you to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for providing prizes and giveaways for my guests.

 

Here is a short video recap I shot after the conference:God is moving. I’m excited! Thanks for staying on this faith journey with me!

I pray you will be inspired to live your God-given dreams! God is Good and God loves YOU! Blessings!
