I’m in awe of what God is doing in my life. I look at the picture above of the two books God has allowed me to write and the mugs and journals that He’s allowed me to create, and I’m kinda stunned that I had a part in any of it.

I look at this picture of my family and friends who attended yesterday’s book launch, and I’m so touched by all the love and support I felt last night. Writing can be so solitary, so I am grateful to get to share this moment with those who attended. It was a sweet mix of family as well as friends from different stages of my life. My friends represented more than 6 countries. I love having such a diverse group of friends! A special thank you to all the volunteers who helped make yesterday such a success!

I look at this picture and I barely recognize myself! I guess that’s a good thing. I’m being refined in this process. I’m enjoying this season that I’m in. This journey I’m on is filled with valley and mountain top experiences. It’s filled with adventure and ordinary moments. Walking by faith isn’t easy, but it is worth it! Every experience helps to conform us into the image of Christ. I had lots of fiery darts from the enemy aimed at me during the writing and release of Abounding Faith, but guess what? Greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world (1 John 4:4) and no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17)! So I can look ahead with confidence knowing that God’s got me!

Now this book is out of my hands and into the hands of readers where it belongs! I pray that you are blessed by Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! I pray that you will see God do the seemingly impossible in your life! The Bible heroes I spotlight in this devotional were regular men and women just like you and me. It’s God who did all the miracles in their lives! The Bible says Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). I pray you will have the courage to Believe!

If Abounding Faith blesses you, please take a moment to write a kind review on Amazon. Two sentences is plenty! Thank you! I look forward to sharing more thoughts and pics from the book launch, and I’m excited to hear how the book is touching you! Thanks for being on this journey with me! There’s more to come. All Glory to God!

Abounding Faith Devotional Now Available on Amazon!

Copy of Coming Soon (7)

I’m so excited to share that my second book is now available on Amazon! My prayer is that Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible will be a blessing to all who read it!

It’s been a rough road to get to this place of finally getting to share this book with others. I’m delighted that now anyone in the world can get this devotional by simply clicking on this link! All glory to God!

As Christians, we’re called to walk by faith and not by sight. Many times that’s easier said than done. As you read about some of the heroic moments in the lives of these 30 men and women from the Bible, I pray your faith will be stirred to believe God for the impossible! This devotional includes Bible verses, reflection questions, and prayer prompts to encourage you on your faith journey! It’s great to read on your own or with your small group.

A common theme in both of my books, Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith, is how important it is to trust God! My hope is that when I write and speak, you will be encouraged to read your Bible and believe God! God is Faithful! He is Trustworthy! Prayer Works! Pray and let God answer in His timing and His way!

God loves you more than you know!

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4: 9-10)

As we get ready to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, it’s a perfect time to remember that not even death could conquer Jesus! His name is above every name!

What seemingly impossible circumstances are you facing in your life? Do you believe that God will see you through? Nothing is impossible for God! Believe!

If my devotional does encourage you, please take a moment to leave a kind review on Amazon and tell your friends about this new book as well. Thank you! Blessings!

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)

I’m delighted that after such a long season of waiting, the Lord is opening doors that no man can shut!
