Living by Abounding Faith – Update!

1 year collage

It’s been a year since I took the leap of faith and left my full-time job to focus on writing, speaking, life coaching, hosting events, and starting Abounding Faith’s online store.

What a year it’s been! God is Faithful!

Has the year been easy? Nope! Has it been worth it? Absolutely!

I could not have made it through this year without the support of my loving family and friends! You know who you are! Thank you for being there to listen to me, rejoice with me, and to offer guidance along the way! Thank you for believing in me and praying for me and thanks for your moral and financial support!

I am in awe of what God is doing in me and through me. My goal is to continue to live out the call God has placed on my life to communicate Christ through writing and speaking. I hope to continue to share God’s love with those who are hurting, lost, or discouraged. I want to encourage and empower men and women to grow in their faith in God and to live the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10!

I look forward to continuing to encourage you to Wait on God Well, live your God-given dreams, and believe God for the impossible!

I’m grateful to my readers and online community! I’m touched that you are being blessed by my writing and speaking and that you are telling others! I appreciate how you are helping to spread the word about my books, online store items, and events, etc.

I’m delighted by the ministry partners the Lord has connected me with in this season. They include my friends at Queens NY AGLOW, WOW! Women of Wonder, Heidi Jensen author of the Eyes to See, Ears to Hear curriculum, Chaplain Jamary of Woodcrest Nursing Home, Pastor Gary Fishman, and Pastor Luis Ortiz of Ebenezer Productions.

These women and men have been a source of great encouragement for me during this past year in particular! I’m blessed to co-labor with them to do Kingdom work!

What’s ahead for Abounding Faith? I’m praying about it, but God willing it includes more writing and events and continuing to grow my online community. I’m also looking to expand my network of partners so stay tuned!

When you think of me, please pray! Thank you in advance! I look forward to having much more wonderful news to share! All for the glory of God!

If you’re looking for ways to show your support for Abounding Faith, here are a few ideas to consider:

God bless you as you continue to walk by Abounding Faith!

Ready to Live Your God-Given Dreams?

hand-1105331_1920

Welcome 2016! What a blessing it is to enter another year of life!

There’s something so refreshing about crossing over into January! The year ahead is filled with such potential.

I’m not into making resolutions, but I do like to choose one word that will be a theme for the next 365 days. The simple word that I feel ringing in my spirit for 2016 is:

NEW

I pray and look forward to a year filled with new joy and new experiences. This year is a chance to start fresh. It’s a chance to travel roads I’ve never been down before. It’s a season to branch out, explore, and to visit places for the first time. It means interacting with people I’ve never met before. It’s an opportunity to get to see things in a new light and from a different perspective.

We can’t stay stuck in the past. We’re not meant to remain stagnant and to hide in our comfort zones. It’s a new day. It’s a new year. We need to keep moving forward.

God makes all things new!

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:19)

I pray I will have much to share with you in this NEW year! I’m looking forward to continuing to live out God’s call on my life. I invite you to continue on this journey with me!

Are you ready to step into the next chapter of your life?

If so, I’d like to invite you to join my *new* signature “Live Your God-Given Dreams” Life Coaching Group!

I am looking for a few courageous and committed women to connect with over 12 weeks. (Don’t worry fellas, I hope to have a mixed group later in the year!)

What are your goals for this *new* year? I’d like to help make them a reality as your Life Coach. I want to cheer you on, provide accountability, and help pray you through.

Interested? You can learn more about the “Live Your God-Given Dreams” Life Coaching Group here! The group starts on January 26th. I hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining. And please invite your friends, too!

I’m so grateful for all my readers! All the best to you in 2016! Let’s make every day count!

Waiting on God Well Book Update

11070525_437335273096531_2024640487754152317_n

It’s been awhile since my book Waiting on God Well launched. As I gear up for my latest Book Talk and Signing this Saturday, I’d like to share a bit about how things with the book are going! A Big Thank You to all my readers! 

I’m so encouraged to hear how people are being touched by Waiting on God Well! As a writer, the biggest feat for me was simply getting all the words down. Sharing it with others and hearing their feedback has been such a blessing!

Readers are saying that they can’t put it down and that it’s speaking right into their situations. It’s resonating with women and men, young and older, and folks from all different backgrounds. Some are buying copies for their friends. They are being inspired as they wait on God for their promises. Glory!

To know that one small group is already studying my book is amazing. To be able to sit with them and hear what they had to share was an honor!

Getting to speak with the lovely ladies at The Bowery Mission Women’s Center was also a delight. I’m so touched to hear that Waiting on God Well has been added to their reading list and that two women are going to be writing book reports about it! Oh my!

Add to that, I got to lead a Connecting session at the recent Hope Gathering women’s conference. It was so special to gather with other women to talk, listen to each other, pray, and remind each other that Jesus is our Hope!

And I was interviewed for the podcast “Living At My Best With Donna Woolam” and the TV show “Open”.

Whoa, this is all part of what I’ve been waiting to do!

To just be free to talk to groups, large and small. To encourage folks one at a time and at gatherings. To me, this really does feel like living in the Promised Land!

Only God knows what else He has in store for this book and who else will be touched! If you would like me to come speak at your event or small group, please feel free to contact me. You can learn more here. God is moving! I’m so excited to be in the center of God’s will for my life, and I hope to inspire you as you continue on your journey!

If you’ve read Waiting on God Well and have been blessed by it, please leave your thoughts below or post a kind review on Amazon.

If you haven’t read it yet, you can grab your copy on Amazon.

I’ll leave you with a reader review from Amazon. Many blessings to you!

“Waiting on God Well is a thought provoking quick read! It can be used as a daily devotional or a bible study guide. It is so versatile that small groups could use it as a weekly guide. The author has a lot of insight and gives good guidance on waiting on the Lord. I highly recommend it.”

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” (Luke 1:45)

Crossing My Jordan

The beauty of Waiting on God Well is knowing that at the right time God will step in and move in your situation.

I’m excited to announce that after much waiting, praying, dreaming, and believing, the Lord has given me the green light to move into the next chapter of my work and ministry life. I have left my fulltime job to actively pursue writing, speaking, life coaching, and hopefully more missions trips! You can learn more about it on my website www.AboundingFaith.com.

Launching out into this fulltime ministry isn’t something I take lightly. I don’t advise you to do so unless the Lord has made it clear to you that that is His next step for you at this time.

I’m thrilled because this is one of the breakthroughs I have been waiting for. And if you’ve already read my book Waiting on God Well, you know how trying this past season has been. But it was so worth it to wait on God’s timing. I have such peace about it. I can see how the Lord has used these past years at my job to help me gain skills that I could not have gotten in the newsroom or in the classroom as a teacher.

So what does this mean for you, my lovely readers? Hopefully, all good things!

It means I’ll have more time to keep encouraging you through my writing, blogging, and videos. It means I’ll be more available to speak at your events and small groups and to hopefully hold more books signings. It means I will have more time to be a Life Coach to dreamers, visionaries, and creative entreprenuers like YOU! You can learn more here.

We can also connect on Facebook and finally on Twitter.

I’m looking forward to this new chapter of my life. I’m so thankful to God and grateful that you’re on this journey with me! I hope my journey will inspire you to TRUST God no matter what!

I also hope my story will encourage you that waiting on God is worth it!

Don’t quit in the middle of your story! Persevere in prayer. Stand firm in your faith. Do what the Lord asks of you. Then wait and see how the Lord shows up and shows off in your life!

The best is yet to come, my friends!  God is Faithful. He will do everything He has promised you and more!

To God be the Glory!
