Reflections and Highlights from 2018

My “One Word” for this year has been “Beauty.”  I’m grateful for this beautiful year that started with hosting my second women’s conference! What a blessing it was to be among all the lovely women who attended. What a delight to welcome Nyack College as the Presenting Sponsor! They generously offered a partial scholarship to one guest and my friends at Our Daily Bread Ministries and TBN NY also offered great prizes to my guests.

This year also included the launch of my fourth book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad. What a joy to get to share how I’ve seen God’s miraculous and lovely fingerprints during my travels to 6 continents! By Faith is a book that has been stirring inside of me for years. I’m so grateful that God allowed me to release it this fall and that it’s been endorsed by Our Daily Bread Ministries, the President of Nyack College and a Regional Director of the Christian Women in Media Association!

And after years of thinking and praying about it, the Lord also saw it fit for me to launch the “Abounding Faith for Today Podcast.” I’m thrilled that Season 1 of the “Abounding Faith for Today Podcast” is on iTunesSpotifyGoogle Podcasts or Stitcher and more!

Another delight was to have excerpts from By Faith published on SpiritLed Woman‘s website and Charisma’s social media! You can read excerpts about how God chased me down in Australia, how the Holy Spirit showed up during my short-term missions trip to Peru, how the Lord spoke to me during my trip to Israel and more. You can find links to all 6 six inspiring articles at AboundingFaith.com.

It was also a blessing to get to speak at Chapel at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center and The Bowery Mission’s Tribeca site and to help kick of the Christmas celebrations for my friends at Woodcrest Nursing Home and Rehab Center. What an honor it was to lead the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant on the last Sunday of the year! It was my fourth year in a row visiting them.

Other highlights from this year include getting to celebrate another birthday in my bday castle. Here’s a pic from one of my fave rooms, the library!

Here’s a short video greeting I shot in the library.

This year I also launched the Living by Abounding Faith collection on Abounding Faith’s online store. God is Good!

As I look back at some of the faces and places from this year, I smile and can see God’s hand in all of it. It hasn’t been a perfect year, but it has been filled with lots of beauty!

It helps to encourage me to continue inspiring and encouraging you and others through the words I write and speak and through the events I host and the items I create.

Walking by faith isn’t easy, but it’s worth it! I’m grateful that you’re on this journey with me.

As I look ahead to 2019 and beyond, I rest in knowing that God is in control and His beautiful plan for me and for you is already written and will continue to unfold in His perfect timing.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith! If you find yourself growing weary, as we all do at times, remember to keep reading your Bible and Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!

If you’re being blessed by Abounding Faith’s books, events, podcast, articles, etc. and you’d like to join this faith journey I’m on, I’d be thrilled to have you become a member of Abounding Faith’s Dream Team! Let’s live our God-given dreams together!

As a Dream Team member, you get early access to Abounding Faith’s inspiring content to help encourage you on your faith journey, exclusive updates and info and you have the opportunity to be mentioned in shout outs on Abounding Faith’s growing social media and more (or you can remain anonymous if you prefer).

God willing, I plan to continue inspiring men and women, young and older and those of diverse backgrounds to grow in their faith and love for God and live their God-given dreams. Will you join me? You can learn more about Abounding Faith’s Dream Team by clicking here.

I look forward to what God has in store for 2019. Stay tuned! The best is yet to come! To God be the Glory! Blessings!

Reflections on My Year to SOAR!

As 2017 is winding down, I’m reflecting on some of the highlights that God allowed me to experience. My “one word” for this year was SOAR! What a year it’s been!

It started out with launching my third book Crossing Your Jordan River: How to Possess and Prosper in Your Promised Land in March. What a blessing it was to release that book!

The following month, I got to host my very first women’s conference. Glory! I’m so grateful to all the women who came to Abounding Faith’s SOAR Women’s Conference.

In the fall, I got to host my very first Abounding Faith Book Social where we had a group discussion about how to wait on God well.

I also had the pleasure of leading the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant for the third straight year.

The Lord allowed me to speak at Nyack College’s Chapel service. What an honor! I had felt drawn to Nyack for about two years.

This was also the year that my books started being sold at Pipe and Thimble bookstore in Lomita, California, and I was even part of a small group that studied Crossing Your Jordan River.

Some of my designs were featured in a Christian women’s magazine in France.

I got to celebrate my birthday in a castle for the third straight year. And I got to visit Carnegie Hall and the offices of Simon and Schuster twice and connected with more of my Times Square Church family throughout the year.

God is Good!

It wasn’t a perfect year, but God did allow me to SOAR! And the year isn’t over just yet!

I’m already praying and preparing for what’s ahead in 2018. I’m getting ready to share a draft of Book 4 with my early readers to start getting feedback. I hope to release Book 4 and to host a few more events next year.  Let’s see how the Lord leads.

I appreciate your prayers, and I’m grateful that you’re on this faith journey with me! I invite you to stay connected with Abounding Faith on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I look forward to continuing to encourage you to live your God-Given Dreams!

Here’s another look at some of my lovely readers from this year:

I pray you have a blessed Christmas and that you enjoy God’s presence more than all the presents. All the best to you and yours!

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

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!

Let’s SOAR Together at Abounding Faith’s Women’s Conference this Saturday!

It’s kind of surreal to know that my very first women’s conference is this Saturday!

I count it a privilege and honor to speak about my Lord and to encourage others to believe God and to live out their God-given dreams! I’m so grateful for every audacious dreamer and doer who is setting aside time in her busy schedule to be at Abounding Faith’s SOAR Women’s Conference! I have been praying and preparing for this event. I’m trusting that God will bless and meet each lady right where they are in their faith journey!

I believe God wants to birth new dreams and resurrect a few dreams for the women who are there on Saturday!

I’m delighted that the ladies attending the event are of different ages, life stages, backgrounds, and churches. The women are going to be a lovely mosaic and reflection of the beauty found in NYC!

I’m so thankful for all my volunteers and those individuals who have generously sponsored this event. I couldn’t hold these events without them! I’m also grateful to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for providing prizes for the fun raffles we will be having.

I’ll be sure to share photos and reflections with you! Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.  To learn more about this Saturday’s conference, click here. Friday is the last day to register. Blessings!

Crossing Your Jordan River Book Cover Reveal!

I’m excited to share the cover of my upcoming third book! Crossing Your Jordan River will be available in print and Kindle on Amazon on April 3rd.

I’m in awe that the Lord would allow me to write another book that honors Him! God is Good!

Do you ever feel like you’re never going to make it to your Promised Land? Be encouraged—God wants you to get there even more than you do! Crossing Your Jordan River will take you on a journey with Joshua from the Bible so you can learn how he went from being Moses’ aide and living in the wilderness for forty years to leading the children of Israel triumphantly into the Promised Land. Be inspired as you prepare, pursue, and possess God’s promises for your life!

I pray this book is a blessing to all who read it!

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! I’ll share more info next week. Blessings!

Happy New Year & My One Word!

new-years-eve-1649755_1920

I love the start of a new year! I enjoy when the year is filled with promise! I get excited about all that God has in store for the next twelve months.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you know that I like to prayerfully choose one word to help define the upcoming year.

I’m delighted to share that my one word for this year is:

SOAR!

After many years of waiting and preparing, the Lord is releasing me and allowing me to live out many dreams that I have been hoping and praying for for a long time.

I believe God wants me to dream bigger and to reach new heights.

I’m reminded of the following Bible verses:

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:28-31)

Did you catch what happens to those who hope in the Lord? They will renew their strength and SOAR on wings like eagles. I love it!

Waiting on God is not in vain and it doesn’t last forever. There is a time and season for God’s promises to be fulfilled. Glory! As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

I’m looking forward to God surprising me and astounding me in 2017 and beyond!

What does this mean for Abounding Faith? It means you can look forward to my third book being released, God willing, in the spring! The book will encourage you on your faith journey and picks up where Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith left off. I’ll be sharing more info in the upcoming weeks and months so please stay tuned.

I also plan to host and speak at more events. If you’re interested in sponsoring one of my events, fantastic! Please email me at info@aboundingfaith.com and I’ll send you more information. If you’re interested in inviting me to come speak at your upcoming event, awesome! Please click here to learn more.

I also hope to continue blogging and adding videos to Abounding Faith’s YouTube channel and items to Abounding Faith’s online store. I want to continue encouraging you and inspiring you on your faith journey!

God is moving and I’m grateful that I get to share parts of my journey with you!

We serve an Awesome and Mighty God!

So what are you dreaming about? What desires and goals has God placed in your heart?

What’s your one word for 2017? I hope you’ll share it below!

If you’d like help reaching your God-given dreams, I’d be delighted to be your life coach. You can learn more about life coaching by clicking here. And if writing a book is on your list of goals this year, you can learn more about my Book Writing Coaching program by clicking here.

Reflections on 2016

2017-highlights-collage

You might recall that my one word for this year was NEW! As I look back on this amazing year, I am truly grateful for all the NEW experiences the Lord blessed me with in 2016!

I started the year by launching my second book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! It was surreal to release one book, let alone a second. And what a joy it was to host my very first Abounding Faith Live event in the spring!

Entering the world of Periscope and shooting a few “Abounding Faith Today” videos was fun.

In the summer, I got to appear on a local TV station thanks to Ebenezer Productions.

In the fall, I made the transition to my new home church. I have felt so welcome at Times Square Church and already feel God’s favor upon me there! Praise God!

During Roctober, the Lord allowed me to realize a long-awaited dream of speaking to a group of Christians working at the United Nations! And then a few days later I got to briefly share my testimony at the evening service at Times Square Church. Glory to God!

God knew my dear Senior Pastor of more than a decade was getting promoted to Heaven in October, so I’m grateful that the Lord graciously has connected me with many new wonderful men and women of God to walk with me and help guide me during this next season of my faith journey.

The Lord saw it fit to allow me to work on my third book, which should be released next spring. I also launched my Book Writing Coaching program and added many new items to Abounding Faith’s online store including the Pray, Dream, Do, Repeat collection.

Has it been a perfect year? No way! But God is Faithful! I’m thankful that this year was another one filled with adventure!

I pray you had a blessed year! I hope you got to realize many of your goals and are reaching even higher and further in 2017. The Lord really does take us from glory to glory!

If this year was a bit rough for you, I pray that you will leave all your cares and worries at the feet of Jesus and trust Him to get you through your trial or storm. I pray you will expect great things in 2017! If you’d like help reaching your God-given dreams, you can learn more about having me as your life coach by clicking here!

As this year draws to a close, I plan to rest and recharge for all that awaits in 2017 and beyond! I keep hearing the Lord saying to dream bigger and that more is coming. Amen! I receive it!

I’m in praying and planning mode for next year. I hope to share more info with you in the upcoming weeks.

Many blessings to you and thanks for staying on this faith journey with me! To God be the Glory!

God is on the Move!

use-fb-1-copy

Sometimes God seems silent and it feels like He’s not really working. Other times, God breaks His silence and He shows up and shows off for His glory. That is the kind of season I’m in. Thank you, Jesus!

Within the span of two weeks, the Lord swung the door wide open so that I could speak to a group of Christians at the United Nations and then He allowed me to briefly share my testimony at Times Square Church at the 6pm service last Sunday!

I’m still in awe that the Lord would allow me to speak at all! To get to speak at the UN and Times Square Church is just incredibly wonderful to me!

Those who know me well know that I don’t need the spotlight. I’m happy chatting one-on-one with folks or being anonymous behind my computer. But when God opens up a door for me to speak about Him to groups (including on street corners here and abroad), I’m delighted to do so for my Heavenly Father.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, there is no better place to be than in the center of God’s will for your life!

Last Sunday evening, God saw it fit for me to speak in front of my new church family. It was a rainy, Sunday evening. I would have been content if just 20 people showed up. From this screenshot below, you can see that the church was packed on the main floor and balcony!

img_1225-copy

What a thrill to get to speak to this beautiful and diverse group of people and to all those who were watching at the North Jersey campus and online! It was truly an honor and privilege.

I’m touched by how warm, friendly, and engaged the people were as I spoke. And from the beautiful comments I received from the Pastors, leaders, and others afterward, it seems like folks were blessed by what I shared. Praise God!

I’m looking forward to all that God has in store for me in this season. As I’ve said in the past, I’ll keep speaking as long as God keeps giving me something to say! If you’d like me to come speak to your church, school, conference, retreat, or outreach event, you can learn more by clicking here.

I hope my story encourages you that waiting on God and obeying Him is not in vain. I pray that God will give you the strength, grace, patience, endurance, courage, and faith to live out the unique plan He has for your life! Blessings!

Greetings After Speaking at the United Nations!

I have felt drawn to the United Nations since at least 2008. This past Wednesday, the Lord allowed me to speak at one of the United Nations buildings to a lovely group of Christians who work there! All Glory to God!

I pray you’re blessed by the short video above!

Speaking to the nations about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was a true honor and privilege! A few precious people asked me for prayer afterwards and shared that God had spoken to them through my message. I’m so honored and humbled when anyone says that. God is so Good!

Waiting on God is not in vain. God is moving and I’m excited! Here’s a snapshot of that milestone day for me.

united-nations-collage-10-19-16

Thanks for being on this faith journey with me! I’m looking forward to what’s ahead in this new season!

Please note that next week I plan to share some thoughts about my Senior Pastor of more than a decade who passed away that same day. I will miss Pastor Johansson dearly, but I am rejoicing that he is now in Heaven with Jesus!
