Let’s Stay Connected

twitter-292994_1280I like to joke that I was one of the last 5 people on the planet who was not on social media. I just wasn’t into it. But now I see the beauty of staying connected, and I enjoy encouraging folks all over the world online.

My goal is to inspire you and to remind you that God is Good, God Loves You, and Nothing is Impossible for God! I pray that you will be encouraged by my words, whether you’re reading them or hearing them, and that they will point you back to Christ!

Here’s a little overview of some of the different ways we can stay connected:

  • I recently joined Twitter! You can find me at AboundInFaith. I try to post daily. I’ll usually start with a Bible verse and then tweet other updates or inspiring words throughout the day.
  • I’ve finally entered the world of Instagram. You can find me at AboundingFaith. I plan to post at least once a day for now. You can find inspiring images and other miscellaneous shots there.
  • I’m on Facebook. I’ve got my main Abounding Faith page and my Waiting on God Well Book page. I post inspirational verses and pics there throughout the day.
  • You can also find Abounding Faith on YouTube and Pinterest.

I hope to see you on some of the above platforms! And I hope you’ll like and share my posts with others. With all the negativity that is out there in the world, I pray my posts will be uplifting and will help inspire you on your faith journey! Blessings!

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

12 Free Journal Writing Prompts

manuscript-729617_1280

Over the years, quite a few people have shared with me that they enjoy writing and that they would like to write a book on day. Beautiful! One of the best things you can do is to start writing often. That includes keeping a journal. Did you know that when you sign up to receive my weekly blog posts e-mailed to you, you also get a free PDF file with 12 Journal Writing Prompts? Go ahead and sign up here. And enjoy this week’s post where I share my response to one of the journal writing prompts:

This Bible Verse has Been Speaking to Me Lately …

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

The above verse has been following me lately. It’s like the Lord is speaking to me in surround sound again. I heard it in a sermon right around the time that I was getting ready to Cross My Jordan. I’ve also been seeing it on social media.

It’s comforting to know that God is in charge of my life. He is in Control. I don’t have to fear. He is with me. And He is providing for me.

I love the reminder to not be afraid or discouraged. Why? Because God is all powerful. He is my strength. He will uphold me!

Friend, are you worried, anxious, or discouraged? Take heart knowing that God is alive and is working in your life. He will not fail you! Walking by faith may not be easy, but it is worth it!

Now it’s your turn? What Bible verse has been speaking to you lately? Feel free to share your answer in the comments below.

Here’s my response to the journal prompt “If You Could Chat With One Person From the Bible, Who Would it Be?”

Abounding Faith on YouTube

I’ve just posted my 40th short, encouraging video on the Abounding Faith YouTube Channel! Glory! This video is the welcome message for the channel. I hope you’re blessed by it. In honor of this happy milestone, I’d like to share a bit about the channel.   

I blame it on my iPhone! When I upgraded my phone a few years ago, I couldn’t resist playing with my new front-facing camera. It was around the time that I was preparing to go on a short-term missions trip to Honduras. It was going to be an historic trip with 2,000 missionaries flooding the country with the love of Jesus.

The reporter in me was excited about recording footage in Honduras. And now not only could I narrate from behind the scenes, but I could actually be part of the videos thanks to my front-facing camera!

That’s how the Abounding Faith YouTube Channel was born. I wanted to make encouraging videos as an extension of my blog.

Over the weeks, months, and now years I have shot short, encouraging videos while on missions trips to Honduras and Peru, vacation in Europe and the Caribbean, and all throughout New York.

I’ve shot during winter, spring, summer, and fall. There are videos about my favorite Bible verses, this summer’s Luis Palau Festival, and the special greeting I made for the staff at Our Daily Bread.

My goal is to remind viewers that God loves you, He is closer than you think, and that nothing is impossible for God!

I hope you enjoy the videos and that you’ll subscribe to my channel. I plan to add a few more videos so stay tuned!
