Giving Honor Where Honor is Due

Countdown to Book 5: I’d like to take a moment to give honor where honor is due. I’m so grateful for these and other giants of faith God has allowed me to meet along my faith journey (pictured above). Their ministry helps to inspire me to keep fighting the fight of faith!

I’d also like to take a moment to honor the diverse group of ministers pictured below. I’m so grateful for the Pastors and leaders the Lord has surrounded me with, including the late and great Pastor Johansson (top left). Each of these leaders in the following pic have prayed for me, encouraged me and have cheered me on at pivotal times in my life. Walking by faith ain’t easy, but it helps to have godly men and women by your side.

May God continue blessing their ministries. God is Good!

I’m looking forward to sharing more news about Book 5. Please stay tuned. Blessings!

Your Voice Matters

“Latinos don’t buy books.” I recently heard a legendary Latina author say she still hears this statement from major publishers. As a Latina indie author and former journalist, I find that quote upsetting. I’m so grateful that my diverse Readers include Latinas and Latinos.

As I gear up to release Book 5, I’d like to remind mi gente that your voice matters. Your purchases matter. Your Amazon reviews matter!

To all my Readers, I appreciate all of you who are encouraging me and praying for me as I live out the call God has placed on my life in this season and for such a time as this. If my books have encouraged you, please tell others about them and take a moment to leave a 1 – 2 sentence review on Amazon. It makes a huge difference in the book publishing world.

And please stay tuned for more info about the fall release of Book 5.

Blessings to you as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and live your God-given dreams!

Abounding Faith’s books are available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

Celebrating My Readers

Looking at these pics of my Readers makes me smile.

Working on books can seem glamorous sometimes, but there’s some painstaking work that goes on behind the scenes long before the book is released. I’m in the thick of the process right now with Book 5 and covet your prayers.

Why go through this arduous process again and again? Many times it can feel like an endless uphill climb.

But I write on!

Mainly because this is God’s call on my life in this season. He created me to create with words. He designed me to be a writer. And writers write. I’ve been writing since I was a child, eventually became a successful journalist and then God called me to lay down journalism and finally to pick up the pen to write for His glory. There’s a joy that comes from stringing words together that honor God.

The second reason I continue writing is because God has called me to encourage and exhort others. I’ve been walking with the Lord for quite some time now. I’ve learned a few things along my journey. God is asking me to share those insights with you, my Reader.

It’s a joy to encourage women and men of diverse backgrounds and ages. I love how my Readers represent different nationalities. This pic is just a snapshot of the lovely women and men who read Abounding Faith’s books and have attended various events over the years. I’m so touched that my books have blessed ministry leaders, Bible school students, those newer on their faith journey and women in shelters and nursing home residents, etc.

As I gear up to launch Book 5, I’m already praying and looking forward to all those who will read this latest book.

Will you pray for me as well? As Book 5 enters the production phase, I could use extra prayer support in this leg of the journey.

I look forward to sharing more news as the release date gets closer.

If you’d like to get sneak peeks at the cover and be among the first to know the title and other Book 5 news, you’re invited to become an Abounding Faith Dream Team member. You can learn more here.

Thanks for your continued support and prayers. Blessings!

Reflecting on Past July Missions Trips

Three of the 5 short-term missions trips I’ve been on took place in the month of July. My missions trips have taken me to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador (left pic) and the streets of Ethiopia, Honduras (right pic) and Peru (bottom pic). Missions trips weren’t on my radar when I was growing up, but when God calls, it’s best to listen. He knows what’s on the other side of our YES!

I share many miraculous and lovely testimonies from these trips and more in my book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad. By Faith will stir your heart to follow God’s plan for your life. It includes a chapter on how to live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide you can use with your small group or book club. By Faith is available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

Here’s a short excerpt from By Faith:

“I must say I am an accidental short-term missionary. At least in my eyes. I never grew up wanting to go on missions trips. I certainly didn’t know any missionaries. Over the years, I did discover that I enjoyed traveling. My goal years ago was to travel to the cities that hosted a certain major sporting event. And God allowed me to go to stadiums in Athens, Greece, Sydney, Australia, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Los Angeles, California. Not bad! I am so grateful for all the wonderful places I’ve gotten to travel to over the years.

But God had different plans for me. After years of traveling for vacation and for work and after my amazing time in Israel, I knew it was time to give back.

All this talk about traveling can sound kind of glamorous to some, but it’s not always easy to get on a plane, leave all your loved ones behind, and go to some foreign country. There are shots to take beforehand (and sometimes gigantic malaria pills to swallow during the trip!), money to raise, vacation time to be used. There’s also lots of prayer and fasting to get ready for the spiritual battles that will take place.

Surprisingly enough, sometimes the toughest battles are fought long before even setting foot on the plane!”

May you be encouraged, empowered and inspired by reading By Faith. Blessings!

P.S. – All these pics were taken at such pivotal moments in those trips. That stadium experience in Honduras (top right pic) was incredible! I felt like an Olympian for Jesus. God is Good!

Happy 5 Anniversary to Waiting on God Well Book

It’s the 5th Anniversary of my very first book Waiting on God Well 🎉

I’m grateful to all my wonderful Readers! I love hearing how this book has blessed ministry leaders and men and women waiting for breakthrough in their personal and professional lives. Waiting on God Well has encouraged those waiting to find a new job, waiting to meet their spouse, waiting for healing and waiting to launch their ministry, etc.

It’s an honor and privilege to get to inspire my Readers.

Thanks for helping me celebrate this milestone!

Waiting on God Well gave me time to address a deep prayer request of my heart I had sort of ‘buried.” I took your book on a plane trip, underlined and prayed my way thru, even journaling some. Thank you for your encouragement!” – Reader

God is Good!

Who knew that now I’d be working on Book 5 … God knew! And He knows what else He has in store … thanks for staying on this faith adventure with me.

If you haven’t read this uplifting book, here is an excerpt from the Foreword of Waiting on God Well:

“Waiting is not passive. It’s not for the weak but for the strong. It takes strength and courage to wait for God to give you the green light. It’s not about having a blasé attitude.

Instead, it’s about expecting God to come through in His perfect timing and open doors that no man can shut. It’s taking God at His Word and believing that He will do exactly what He promised to do!

My prayer is that you won’t despise the process you are going through, but that you will look for Jesus, even in the tight places, because He is right there with you. He is leading, guiding, and loving you. He has not forsaken you! He will bring you through.”

I’m sharing more excerpts and insights from Waiting on God Well in Season 4 of the “Abounding Faith for Today” podcast. You can check out the short and inspiring episodes on:
