Happy 5 Anniversary to Waiting on God Well Book

It’s the 5th Anniversary of my very first book Waiting on God Well 🎉

I’m grateful to all my wonderful Readers! I love hearing how this book has blessed ministry leaders and men and women waiting for breakthrough in their personal and professional lives. Waiting on God Well has encouraged those waiting to find a new job, waiting to meet their spouse, waiting for healing and waiting to launch their ministry, etc.

It’s an honor and privilege to get to inspire my Readers.

Thanks for helping me celebrate this milestone!

Waiting on God Well gave me time to address a deep prayer request of my heart I had sort of ‘buried.” I took your book on a plane trip, underlined and prayed my way thru, even journaling some. Thank you for your encouragement!” – Reader

God is Good!

Who knew that now I’d be working on Book 5 … God knew! And He knows what else He has in store … thanks for staying on this faith adventure with me.

If you haven’t read this uplifting book, here is an excerpt from the Foreword of Waiting on God Well:

“Waiting is not passive. It’s not for the weak but for the strong. It takes strength and courage to wait for God to give you the green light. It’s not about having a blasé attitude.

Instead, it’s about expecting God to come through in His perfect timing and open doors that no man can shut. It’s taking God at His Word and believing that He will do exactly what He promised to do!

My prayer is that you won’t despise the process you are going through, but that you will look for Jesus, even in the tight places, because He is right there with you. He is leading, guiding, and loving you. He has not forsaken you! He will bring you through.”

I’m sharing more excerpts and insights from Waiting on God Well in Season 4 of the “Abounding Faith for Today” podcast. You can check out the short and inspiring episodes on:

Happy New Year – My “One Word” for 2020

Happy and Blessed New Year! I pray this year will be the best and brightest year yet! I pray it will be filled with much love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), goodness, faithfulness and self-control that is the Fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23.

I’ve been praying about my “One Word” for this year.  I’m delighted to share that my word for 2020 is:

SHINE

The verse that comes to mind when I think about the word Shine is:

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)

I’m looking forward to sharing how the Lord brings the word Shine to life in my life this year.

And I encourage you to Shine where God has placed you. May you Shine for Jesus and be a beacon of light and hope at home, work, school and in your community and beyond.

It’s tempting to want to shrink back and sit on the sidelines these days, but God is calling His people to arise and Shine for His glory.

If you are being blessed by Abounding Faith’s books, events, podcast and more and you’d like to Shine together this year, here are 5 wonderful ways to do so:

Blessings to you as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and live your God-given dreams! Feel free to share your “One Word” for this year in the comments below or on Abounding Faith’s Facebook page.

Highlights From 2019 – My Year of “Surprises”

My “One Word” for this year has been “Surprise.” I have delighted in the big and little surprises the Lord has had for me this year.

I’d like to take a look back at some of the lovely surprises sprinkled throughout 2019. I hope you enjoy taking this trip down memory lane with me.

What a blessing to be invited back to speak at Chapel at Nyack College in February and to be part of two Meet the Author events in their library this year! You can read more about my visits in this blog post and this one.

What an honor it was to teach a class based on my Abounding Faith book at the New York School of the Bible this past June! You can read more about my lovely experience teaching the Abounding Faith: Believing God for the Impossible class here.

What a privilege it was to lead the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant for the fifth straight year. You can read more about that blessed time here.

What a treat to get to teach Life Skills classes for my friends at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center! The two sessions were based on my book, By Faith.  You can read more about my visit here. It was also a delight to get to speak at Chapel for the women and at The Bowery’s Tribeca site.

The Lord showed up in such a beautiful way at Abounding Faith’s BELOVED Women’s Conference, presented by Nyack College.  And what a delightful surprise that the church was decorated for a wedding! You can read more about my third women’s conference and Abounding Faith’s 10th event here.

It’s wonderful to see how Abounding Faith’s books are blessing Readers near and far. These uplifting books have been encouraging young and older, women and men and ministry leaders and new believers.  I hope you enjoy the super short video above. I’m thrilled that I’m already getting great feedback about Book 5 from my early readers! Stay tuned for more details.

What a joy to get to minister with my friend Pastor Gary Fishman four times this year. You can read about my visits to AGLOW Queens Lighthouse here and Eternal Hope Ministries here.

Other surprises this year included celebrating my connection to Apollo 11 and getting to meet Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle at a gathering for Pastors and Leaders. For the first time, I also got to hear Ravi Zacharias and Anne Graham Lotz speak in person at my home church, Times Square Church.

Other notable moments from this year included producing my 15th episode of the “Abounding Faith for Today” podcast, marking the 1 st Anniversary of By Faith and writing my seventh article for Charisma‘s website.

God is so Good!

 

Was the year perfect? Nope. Not by a long shot. But was it filled with surprises? Absolutely!
