I’m delighted to present the newest collection to Abounding Faith’s online store. This collection is inspired by my upcoming fourth book By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking with God Here and Abroad, which is being released next month.

Be encouraged as you drink your favorite hot beverage in the sturdy mug, record your personal reflections in the lovely journal and carry your essentials in the roomy tote bag pictured above. And travel in style with the passport cover pictured below.

It’s a treat for me to be able to create uplifting items that hopefully bless you and can serve as great gifts for any occasion.

Your support of Abounding Faith’s books and online store are so appreciated! It helps to encourage me on my own faith journey!

Book 4 Cover Reveal!

I’m thrilled to share Book 4’s title and cover with you! Presenting By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad.

I’m praying this book inspires you to trust God in a deeper way and encourages you to live your God-given dreams!

The book includes stories of how God chased me down in Australia, how I felt His call on my life in Israel and how I’ve seen His fingerprints during short-term missions trips to five countries as well as on the streets of New York City. It also includes some favorite blog posts, a chapter on how you can live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide.

I’ll be sharing plenty more about the book as the October release gets closer.

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! God is Good!

Book 4 Update – Production Time!

“God will write your story, and you will tell it.” Those were some of the final words my dear Pastor Johansson said to me during our last meeting before he got ill.

It’s a bit surreal to be in the production phase for my fourth book. All Glory to God!  It’s been a long journey to get to this point…. This book has taken me most of my life to live and hours and hours to write and edit.

Writing another book is no joke, but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! God is Good!

I’m praying Book 4 will bless and inspire you.

Stay tuned for lots more details as the fall release gets closer.

If you’d like to be among the first to see the cover and more, I invite you to become a member of Abounding Faith’s Dream Team by clicking here.

Let’s encourage people on their faith journey together! Blessings!

Book 4 Update!

I’m delighted to share that my editor had such lovely feedback about Book 4!

She said I did a wonderful job on the book and that my manuscript was a huge blessing. She loved learning about me and traveling with me to different countries. She said my testimony of how God did a miracle in me and then used me to spread His Good News around NYC and the globe was a true inspiration. All glory to God!

After a few tweaks and edits on my end, the manuscript is now back with my editor for her final look.

The editing phase is one of most challenging parts of the writing process. I appreciate your prayers as I near the end of this part of the journey. There’s still much more to come before the fall release.

No worries if you haven’t made as much progress as you would have liked. There’s still the rest of the year to Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!

With my second women’s conference a sweet memory, new gear added to Abounding Faith’s online store and the launch of Abounding Faith’s Dream Team all during the first half of this year, my main focus now is releasing Book 4 this fall. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my editor’s thoughts with you soon.

Beauty is my “One Word” for this year. I continue to look for beauty in my everyday life.  It’s been a delight to share some Miraculous and Lovely shots on Instagram.

If you need some accountability, encouragement and prayers as you live your God-Given dreams, I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach. I’d be honored to help you navigate transitions in your career, ministry or personal life.

Reflections on Speaking at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center’s Chapel

It was such a delight to get to visit the lovely ladies at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center and to encourage them during a recent chapel service! We had such a sweet time, as usual.

It’s beautiful to see how God is working in the lives of the ladies who participate in this wonderful program that helps to bring healing and hope to women in crisis.

The women are always so welcoming and thankfully receptive to what I share with them. It’s truly an honor whenever I get to speak an encouraging word to groups of people. The Bowery Women have a special place in my heart. Can you tell I was having a blessed time speaking to them by the following pic?

It’s a privilege to get to pour into the women and inspire them during this time in their lives. And they help to encourage me!

Their feedback was so kind. They thanked me for the words I shared. And one of the staffers said chapel service was fantastic and that she could listen to me all day because of the impartation and examples I shared and the timely message I spoke. Glory to God!

I first spoke at chapel a few years ago when my mom and I were doing internship hours to become volunteer chaplains. It’s been great to stay connected with The Bowery over the years.

I pray all the best for the women and staff at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center as well as for their programs for men and kids.

I plan to keep speaking to groups as long as God keeps giving me something to say.

Reflections on Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference Sponsored by Nyack College

“The best part of this conference was the connecting, reconnecting, teaching of the Word and practical fellowship,” Conference Attendee

Something special happens when God’s daughters get together. We had such a blessed time at Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference presented by Nyack College! It was beautiful to see familiar and new faces at my second women’s conference. There was laughter, a few tears, fellowship and prayer throughout the conference. All glory to God!

I love getting to encourage and empower people through Bible-based messages! I love the diversity of ages, backgrounds and churches represented at my events.

This conference included recent college grads as well as senior saints. We had women from the different boroughs join us as well as one lady who is in town visiting a friend and is going back home to an African country! At my last event there was a lady visiting from the Philippines, so I’m slowly starting to reach the nations. Praise God!

I’m so grateful to Nyack College, the Presenting Sponsor of Abounding Faith’s Mighty Women of Valor Women’s Conference! It was a delight to have Nyack join us at the event.

Congratulations to Paula for winning the Nyack scholarship! It was such an honor to be able to give her this award on behalf of Nyack College and Abounding Faith!

I’m so grateful to Open Bible Church International, the gracious host church for this conference. I’m also grateful to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for offering these lovely prizes for our guests!

A huge Thank You to my amazing volunteers (including my Mom) who prayed for the guests leading up to the event and served with love and kindness in the areas of set up/decorations, tech/photos, book sales/registration, etc! Many blessings to you Team Abounding Faith a.k.a. Gideons’ Army! It takes a village to host these events, and I’m grateful that you’re part of this village.

“The best part of this conference was that it was a spiritual uplift to move ahead and obey God’s plan for our lives,” Conference Attendee

Amen! That’s why I do what I do. I’ll keep speaking as long as God keeps giving me something to say.

I’m already praying about next year’s conference… ladies, don’t miss it!!!

If you’re interested in inviting me to speak at your event, please click here.

Thank you to all of you who were praying for the success of this conference! Many blessings to you!
