Book 6 Update!

My favorite “Writer’s Den” café where I’ve edited all my books may be gone now, but the work continues. I took advantage of this lovely mild weather we’ve been having and had a delightful time reading through a printed rough draft copy of Book 6 outdoors.

It’s been refreshing to read through Book 6 after a short break. It’s all new to me again and also convicting, as all my books are. LOL That’s what happens when you prayerfully write as the Lord leads and you share insights from what He’s taught you along the way.

I’m pleasantly pleased with how Book 6 is coming along. Thank God!

I’m so grateful I get to share from the overflow from my years of walking with the Lord. Ladies, I’m praying you’re blessed and empowered by this Bible study. Please stay tuned!

I appreciate your prayers and encouragement as I go through the editing phase with Book 6. I’ll continue to keep you posted along the way.

In the meantime, if you find your faith levels dipping or you know someone who could use a boost of faith and hope, you can find Bible-based encouragement and inspiration in Abounding Faith’s FIVE uplifting Christian living books and devotionals. Feisty Faith, By Faith, Waiting on God Well, Crossing Your Jordan River and the Abounding Faith devotional will help to fuel your faith, ignite your hope and set your heart ablaze with the love of God! Abounding Faith’s books are available on Amazon.

May your faith arise!

“3 Ways You Can Include Faith in Your Career Switch” -Career Switch Podcast Interview

What a delight to be interviewed for Episode 17 of the Career Switch Podcast. I pray you’re blessed and encouraged by this episode. If so, please leave a kind rating and review. Here’s more info:

NEW EPISODE!

When Christian author and speaker Nancy Gavilanes posted on LinkedIn offering her services as a life coach, it got me thinking, what role can faith play in making a career switch? After all, doesn’t a career switch require faith—in ourselves, in the steps we’re taking, and perhaps even in something bigger than us? I invited Nancy to be a guest on Career Switch Podcast and asked her these questions. In Episode 17, Nancy explains how your faith —whatever it may be—can definitely play an important part in your career switch. “We need faith to dream big, and to believe that God has a plan and purpose for us,” she says. Listen to 3 ways you can include faith in your career switch: Episode 17.

Happy National Author’s Day

During my journalism days, I had the honor of writing for various publications including The New York Times and Latina magazine.

Writing for newspapers and national magazines was a thrill for this NYU grad with a master’s degree in journalism, but I gotta say the writing I do these days is a different kind of honor and delight.

I didn’t grow up wanting to write books. That idea never crossed my mind when I was a little girl scribbling in my journal, a high school and college newspaper reporter or even as a journalist.

That idea seemed even more outrageous after the Lord asked me to lay down my successful journalism career.

If you would’ve told me years ago that I would become a Christian author, I would have laughed at you.

But God!

On this National Author’s Day, I’m reflecting and rejoicing at how surreal it is for me to have written five Christian living books and devotionals, to be working on Book 6 and to now be a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread‘s VOICES Collection.

As a journalist, I would never write about my own story or faith or God.

But when God calls, He equips.

I’m grateful for God’s call on my life.

It’s still so rare to see Latina Christian authors writing Christian books in English.

I so appreciate your support and prayers.

Being a writer can seem glamourous. Maybe it is for some.

For me, it’s more of a call and a responsibility.

It’s also a great joy. The exhorter and evangelist in me delights in inspiring and uplifting Readers as they walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live their God-given dreams.

I pray my books will continue to encourage and empower and edify Readers near and far. I pray that your faith is fueled, your hope ignited and your heart set ablaze with the love of God!

Feisty Faith, By Faith, Crossing Your Jordan River, Abounding Faith and Waiting on God Well have inspired Pastors, Pastor’s wives, missionaries, chaplains, ministry leaders, Bible school and Christian college students, Christian counselors, women in shelters, nursing home residents and people just starting out on their Christian walk. Abounding Faith’s books are filled with inspiring Bible verses, action steps, prayer prompts, space to journal and more. Readers are located in 15 states, 10 countries (outside of the United States) and on 5 continents.

All glory to God!

If my books and blog are inspiring you, I would love to hear from you and would greatly appreciate you telling others about Abounding Faith’s books.

Here are a few ways you can show your support for Abounding Faith’s books on National Author’s Day and beyond:

  • Order copies of Abounding Faith’s books, in print or on Kindle, on Amazon.
  • Bless your friends, loved ones, your local library, church or your favorite nonprofit with copies of Abounding Faith’s books.
  • Leave a kind review and rating on Amazon.

I look forward to sharing more writing news with you soon. A great way to stay tuned to all that’s going on at Abounding Faith is by signing up for the mailing list. Blessings!
