Abounding Faith’s Latest Designs – An Ode to Majestic Mountains

Abounding Faith Mountains

God willing, my second book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible will be on sale on Amazon next Monday. Glory! As I gear up for the launch, I wanted to share some of the newest designs added to Abounding Faith’s online store.

I created these items to match the cover of Abounding Faith. These majestic mountains are none other than the Swiss Alps! I took this picture during my Epic European vacation last year!

There is something so special about mountains! I smile whenever I see them. I’ve seen quite a few mountains in my travels starting with the Catskill and Adirondack mountains in upstate New York. I’ve been to breathtaking Pikes Peak in Colorado. I’ve seen the incredible mountains in Alaska. I’ve walked on the amazing Andes mountains in Ecuador and the marvelous mountains in Israel!

As a city girl who grew up surrounded by New York’s skyscrapers, I take great delight in getting away outdoors among God’s creation.

Perhaps I’m fascinated with mountains because they remind me of the grandeur of God! They remind me how small I am in this vast world. They inspire me. They leave me awestruck.

While I’m enthralled by looking at mountains and absolutely love being on the mountain tops, it’s a whole other story when I face issues that feel like mountains in my life.

My first reaction is usually to be intimidated by the mountain/issue instead of facing it head on and charging up to the peak. Thankfully after prayer, the Lord usually gives me the strength to keep moving forward.

What about you? How do you handle the mountains in your life? It’s ok to be honest…

Do you ever speak to those mountains?

I’d like to remind you what Jesus said to His disciples. “Jesus replied, ‘Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.’” (Matthew 21:21-22)

What an amazing promise! That issue you are facing (perhaps doubt, depression or discouragement) has to bow down to the name of Jesus!

Since we’re on the topic of mountains, I’d like to share three more Bible verses that I hope will encourage you:

  • “‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:10)
  • “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 125:1-2)
  • “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1-2)

Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat – Newest Collection Added to Abounding Faith’s Online Store

 

PDDR image USE!

I’m excited to unveil the latest collection added to Abounding Faith’s online store! My hope is that the Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat line inspires you to live your God-given dreams!

Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat is inspired by how I live my life. When I look back at all that the Lord has allowed me to accomplish and look ahead to what’s to come, I think it all boils down to lots of praying, dreaming, doing/obeying, and then repeating the process.

It’s how I live out one of my life verses. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13) that I shared about in this video. 

I hope the mugs, journals, T-Shirts, tote bags and other items in the Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat collection will encourage you to live the abundant life that Jesus mentioned in John 10:10! I hope you’ll use and wear these items as you Dream and Do all the good works that God has ordained for YOU!

As you go about following your God-given dreams, remember to:

Pray! Ask God for direction. He will give you desires, dreams, and goals. Stay connected to Jesus. With Him, we can do ALL things. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). 

Dream! Think Big. Aim High. What do you enjoy doing? What would you do for free? What do people compliment you on? How can you bring glory to God through your life? “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen” (Ephesians 3:20).

Do! Don’t just get stuck daydreaming and fantasizing. Take some steps. Do some research. Gain new skills. Get Ready and then GO for it! “With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall” (Psalm 18:29).

Repeat! Now you’ve got the hang of it. I hope you will feel the satisfaction of accomplishing your God-given dreams! Now keep at it. Dream bigger dreams! “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).

For me, writing, speaking, and even designing items that honor God for Abounding Faith’s online store are all dreams come true! I’m grateful that you’re on this faith journey with me! When you shop at Abounding Faith’s online store, you’re helping me to continue living out many of the dreams that God has placed on my heart. I look forward to continuing to encourage people to grow in their faith and love for God!

I appreciate everyone who buys items from Abounding Faith’s online store. Please send me pics of you and the items you buy! Another great way to show your support is by inviting your friends to check out the store too!

Thank you for being a part of what God is doing at Abounding Faith! Blessings to you!

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun” (Psalm 37:5-6).
