25 Reasons to Thank God Today and Every Day! (Revisited)

25 Reasons

This is still one of my most popular posts. It originally ran on November 2013. It’s still true today. Many blessings to you on this Thanksgiving and beyond. God is Good! Let’s never get tired of counting our blessings!

I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now let’s join David in proclaiming the following reasons to be grateful (I’ve bolded the 25 reasons for emphasis):

“Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—
with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts.
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules over all.
Praise the Lord, you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his bidding,
    who obey his word.
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
    you his servants who do his will.
Praise the Lord, all his works
    everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.”

Thank You, Readers & Survey Reminder

thank-you-490607_1920

This week I’m reflecting on the lovely time I had with the family and friends who attended my recent Waiting on God Well Book Talk and Signing event. I’m blessed that my parents were there. I’m touched by those who came and those who were praying for the success of the event. I’m delighted to hear how the book is touching lives. I’m grateful to my volunteers.

Here’s a pic from the event!

I’m encouraged to know that you are being blessed by my writing. I’m inspired to continue on this journey and follow as the Lord leads me. It makes me want to continue using my gifts to bring Glory to God!

A writer can write her heart out. There’s a joy in that, but it’s also sweet when someone actually reads your work and tells you that your writing has made a difference in his or her life!

If Waiting on God Well has blessed you, please let me know and tell others so they can be encouraged as they wait on God to move in their lives!

Thank you for connecting with me here on my blog, reading my book, and connecting with me on social media!

As I gear up for the upcoming year, I’d love to hear your feedback! If you haven’t taken my quick Reader Survey, please take a moment to fill it out before this Friday, November 20th. There’s only 10 questions in it. Click here, to check it out.

Many blessing to you! I’ll leave you with a quick video clip of me reading from the Foreword of Waiting on God Well from my recent book event:

God’s Princess Diaries (Part 1)

I’ve had such a lovely time celebrating my birthday this month. One of the highlights was the night I spent in a castle! I was so blessed soaking in all the sights inside and surrounding the castle. The Lord sure did spoil me this birthday! I was so inspired that I shot quite a few videos while there. I pray you are blessed and encouraged by the three short videos below. I’ll share three more next Monday. Blessings!

Waiting on God Well Book Update

11070525_437335273096531_2024640487754152317_n

It’s been awhile since my book Waiting on God Well launched. As I gear up for my latest Book Talk and Signing this Saturday, I’d like to share a bit about how things with the book are going! A Big Thank You to all my readers! 

I’m so encouraged to hear how people are being touched by Waiting on God Well! As a writer, the biggest feat for me was simply getting all the words down. Sharing it with others and hearing their feedback has been such a blessing!

Readers are saying that they can’t put it down and that it’s speaking right into their situations. It’s resonating with women and men, young and older, and folks from all different backgrounds. Some are buying copies for their friends. They are being inspired as they wait on God for their promises. Glory!

To know that one small group is already studying my book is amazing. To be able to sit with them and hear what they had to share was an honor!

Getting to speak with the lovely ladies at The Bowery Mission Women’s Center was also a delight. I’m so touched to hear that Waiting on God Well has been added to their reading list and that two women are going to be writing book reports about it! Oh my!

Add to that, I got to lead a Connecting session at the recent Hope Gathering women’s conference. It was so special to gather with other women to talk, listen to each other, pray, and remind each other that Jesus is our Hope!

And I was interviewed for the podcast “Living At My Best With Donna Woolam” and the TV show “Open”.

Whoa, this is all part of what I’ve been waiting to do!

To just be free to talk to groups, large and small. To encourage folks one at a time and at gatherings. To me, this really does feel like living in the Promised Land!

Only God knows what else He has in store for this book and who else will be touched! If you would like me to come speak at your event or small group, please feel free to contact me. You can learn more here. God is moving! I’m so excited to be in the center of God’s will for my life, and I hope to inspire you as you continue on your journey!

If you’ve read Waiting on God Well and have been blessed by it, please leave your thoughts below or post a kind review on Amazon.

If you haven’t read it yet, you can grab your copy on Amazon.

I’ll leave you with a reader review from Amazon. Many blessings to you!

“Waiting on God Well is a thought provoking quick read! It can be used as a daily devotional or a bible study guide. It is so versatile that small groups could use it as a weekly guide. The author has a lot of insight and gives good guidance on waiting on the Lord. I highly recommend it.”

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” (Luke 1:45)

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)
