Dream & Do – Monday Motivation with Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith

I was the little girl who used to create mini-magazines at home out of loose leaf paper. I was the editor in chief of my high school newspaper my senior year and an editor of my college newspaper. I got my master’s in journalism from NYU and went on to write for The New York Times and worked at a national women’s magazine.

Still, if you would’ve told me back then that I’d write Christian living books and devotionals one day, I would’ve laughed at you and run the other way. That was never my goal …

BUT GOD!

After I surrendered my life to the Lord, He soon called me out of my successful secular journalism career and my faith journey really began. It’s been a painstaking journey requiring lots of patience, perseverance and prayer, but now I’m so grateful God has allowed me to write 5 Christian living books and more.

What Kingdom dream do you have burning in your heart? Do you need help and prayerful accountability to reach those dreams? If so, I’d be delighted to help you gain the clarity, confidence and courage you need to live your God-given dreams.. You can learn more about Christian Life Coaching here.

And if you dream of honoring God by writing a book, you can learn more about the “Write that Book” strategy call and about Book Writing Coaching.

Blessings as you keep Dreaming and Doing!

Coach Nancy

Pray and Dream – Motivation Monday With Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

I used to go about my life making my plans and then asking God to bless those plans.

Seems harmless enough, right?

Um, do you see what’s wrong with that order?

Once I learned the importance of prayerfully following God’s plan for my life, it helped me gain the courage and confidence I needed to begin fulfilling His unique purpose for me.

If you’re frustrated or fretting about what God is calling you to do, I’d be delighted to prayerfully help you go from:

✅ frazzled to focused
✅ frustrated to fruitful
✅ fearful to fierce

so you can live you God-given dreams. Learn about personal Christian Life Coaching by clicking here.

You can do this! Don’t quit in the messy middle of your faith journey. Keep moving forward by feisty faith.

Blessings,
Coach Nancy

By Faith – Motivation Monday With Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

Ever wonder how introverted INFJ me has had the courage, audacity and grit to go on 5 short-term missions trips over the years (including to the Amazon Jungle, Andes Mountains & AFRICA – Ethiopia) as well as to write 5 Christian Living books, host conferences and a podcast and speak to a group of Christians at the United Nations, students at Nyack Christian College and give my brief testimony at my home church, Times Square Church, etc …

Can I tell you a pretty obvious secret? None of it was my idea. It was all …

BY FAITH!


When God called me to lay down my successful journalism career years ago, I had NO idea what He had in store for me. He’s been leading and guiding me all along the way. Has it been easy. NO! Has it been worth it? YES!


God knows what’s on the other side of our yes.


If you’ve got some kingdom dreams burning inside of you and you’re unsure about your next steps, I’d love to prayerfully help you gain the:

  • Clarity
  • Confidence
  • Courage

to live your God-given dreams. You can learn more about having me be your personal Christian Life Coach by clicking here.

Keep moving forward by feisty faith!

Blessings on your faith journey,

– Coach Nancy, Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

Happy Halftime of the Year!

calendar-660670_1920

Happy June! It’s the month when we celebrate summer, grads, dads, and weddings. It’s also the halfway point of the year. It’s the perfect time to take stock of how the year is going.

How are you doing with your goals? Do you remember the one word you picked out for 2016 or the resolution you made in January?

Despite any trials, tests, or difficulties you may be facing, is this year shaping up to be as great as you had hoped? Are you drawing closer to Jesus? Is your faith in God increasing? I pray your answer is, “Yes!”

You may recall that my one word for this year is NEW. I’m delighted that so far my year has been filled with new experiences! You can read about the launch of my new book Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible, my very first Abounding Faith Live event, and hear about my visits to the United Nations. I’m also getting to meet new people and visit new places.

Can you tell that I am grateful to God for this *new* season that I am in? I’m so thankful for those who are praying for me as I continue on my faith journey!

I pray that you are see God moving in your life and that you will accomplish all the good works God has predestined for you.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)

If you are feeling stuck, discouraged, or confused about how to live your God-given passion and purpose, I would love to help you make the rest of the year the best of your year as your Life Coach. I would be delighted to help you identify your God-given dreams, explore what’s holding you back from living those dreams, prayerfully map out a plan together so you can reach your goals, and hold you accountable and pray for you along your journey.

May you be even more fruitful in the upcoming six months! Blessings!

Dream and Do!

Calling Courageous and Committed Women!

If you’ve been following my journey these past few years and if you’ve read my book Waiting on God Well: How to Prevent Breaking Down on Your Way to Your Breakthrough! you know I’ve been in a time of transition.

After much prayer, waiting, and obeying God, I was blessed with an Epic Year last year filled with many breakthroughs. And I’ve entered into a *new* season in 2016.

I’m enjoying writing and speaking for God’s glory. This didn’t happen overnight. It was a long process. There’s more to come. My story is still unfolding.

Your story is still being written, too! Did you know that there are good works that God has ordained for you to do?

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)

I love that God placed gifts and talents inside of us and that He empowers us and guides us so that we can fulfill all that He’s called us to do.

What dreams and desires has God placed in your heart? What steps are you taking toward your goals?

I would like to help you as you live out your God-given purpose and passion through my *new* “Live Your God-Given Dreams” Life Coaching Group that starts on January 26th.

I am looking for a group of motivated women who are dreamers, visionaries, and creative entrepreneurs to work with for the next 12 weeks. As your Life Coach, I will help you:

  • Discover what’s blocking you from moving forward in God’s plan for your life.
  • Gain clarity on how to live out your God-given passion and purpose.
  • Prayerfully map out a plan to help you stay focused as you transition into the next chapter of your life.
  • I will also give you short assignments and help to hold you accountable as you reach for your goals.

This group is perfect for women who are ready to make positive changes in their lives, are looking for some extra motivation during their transition time, and who value the power of prayer and reading God’s Word!

You can learn more about it here.

I know what it’s like to live some amazing God-given dreams! I also know what it’s like to feel frustrated and stuck and wondering what to do next.

Here’s what a few people have shared about speaking with me:

  • “I found it very reflective getting to discuss with Nancy my inner thoughts about myself and my outlook on life.” – Mikki
  • “I am a person who is in the habit of consistently reevaluating my life in the pursuit of becoming more self-aware. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to learn even more about myself while speaking my thoughts out loud with Nancy.” – Lauren

I hope you will consider joining my “Live Your God-Given Dreams” Life Coaching Group and will tell your friends about it. Private Coaching is also available.

I pray that you will continue to keep Jesus at the center of your life and will surrender to His plan for your life and to His timing. May you know the joy of accomplishing those good works that God has especially for you! Blessings!
