Living Your God-Given Dreams Mid-Year Check in

 

How are we almost halfway through 2018? How are you doing with the goals you prayerfully set out to accomplish at the start of this year?

No worries if you haven’t made as much progress as you would have liked. There’s still the rest of the year to Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!

With my second women’s conference a sweet memory, new gear added to Abounding Faith’s online store and the launch of Abounding Faith’s Dream Team all during the first half of this year, my main focus now is releasing Book 4 this fall. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my editor’s thoughts with you soon.

Beauty is my “One Word” for this year. I continue to look for beauty in my everyday life.  It’s been a delight to share some Miraculous and Lovely shots on Instagram.

If you need some accountability, encouragement and prayers as you live your God-Given dreams, I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach. I’d be honored to help you navigate transitions in your career, ministry or personal life.

If you’re hitting a wall when it comes to working on the book you’ve longed to write, I’d be delighted to answer your burning questions and help you break through that specific area you’re struggling with. You can learn more about a 1-hour strategy call by clicking here.

I pray you have a fruitful rest of the year! Blessings to you as you continue to walk by faith and live your God-given dreams!

Reflections on Speaking at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center’s Chapel

It was such a delight to get to visit the lovely ladies at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center and to encourage them during a recent chapel service! We had such a sweet time, as usual.

It’s beautiful to see how God is working in the lives of the ladies who participate in this wonderful program that helps to bring healing and hope to women in crisis.

The women are always so welcoming and thankfully receptive to what I share with them. It’s truly an honor whenever I get to speak an encouraging word to groups of people. The Bowery Women have a special place in my heart. Can you tell I was having a blessed time speaking to them by the following pic?

It’s a privilege to get to pour into the women and inspire them during this time in their lives. And they help to encourage me!

Their feedback was so kind. They thanked me for the words I shared. And one of the staffers said chapel service was fantastic and that she could listen to me all day because of the impartation and examples I shared and the timely message I spoke. Glory to God!

I first spoke at chapel a few years ago when my mom and I were doing internship hours to become volunteer chaplains. It’s been great to stay connected with The Bowery over the years.

I pray all the best for the women and staff at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center as well as for their programs for men and kids.

I plan to keep speaking to groups as long as God keeps giving me something to say.

I’m delighted every time I see a picture or hear from people who have ordered items from Abounding Faith’s online store.

I love hearing that one guy’s favorite morning coffee mug is the one he ordered from the Christ Loves the Nations collection. And it was wonderful seeing a pic of a little girl sporting a T-shirt from the Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat collection. It was great seeing photos of the T-shirts and tote bags someone ordered for her Bible study group and hearing from a college student about how she enjoys using her Abounding Faith mugs in her dorm room.

Designing these items has been part of my faith adventure. I’m touched that these items are blessings others. I pray that the items in Abounding Faith’s online store will inspire you.
