Go Forth – Monday Motivation with Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

When it comes to daring to live your God-given dreams, there’s a time to pray and wait and prepare.

You obviously don’t want to rush ahead of God

But you also don’t want to lag behind Him.

When God says it’s time to go, it’s time to GO FORTH!

What do you hear God saying to you through your daily times of prayer and Bible reading?

Are you feeling stuck?

What may be holding you back?

I’d be happy to help you explore what may be holding you back and help you prayerfully take steps to move forward.

If you need help going from

  • frazzled to focused
  • frustrated to fruitful
  • fearful to fierce

I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach and to prayerfully help you gain the clarity, confidence and courage you need to experience breakthrough and dare to live your God-given dreams.

Blessings as you Go Forth by faith!

Coach Nancy

Debuted as a Devotional Message Team Member for My CWEN Sisters

What an honor and delight to help encourage and empower my CWEN sisters last Thursday during my debut as a member of their Devotional Message Team. I’ll be sharing inspiring messages twice a month based on entries from the Feisty Faith: Trusting God Day by Day 365-day devotional (available on Amazon).

Over the years since that spectacular September when God chased me down in Sydney, I’ve had the great honor and privilege of ministering to a diverse group of people including:

  • Christian college and Bible school students
  • Christians working at the United Nations
  • Strangers on the street during outreaches
  • Women in shelters
  • The homeless and needy on the street and in soup kitchens/shelters
  • Nursing home residents
  • Youth and adults in Brazil, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Honduras and Peru
  • My peers and church family and friends, etc…

I’m so grateful my Readers (who are located on 5 continents, in 10 countries outside of the U.S. and in 15 states) and those who have attended my events are a beautiful mix of women and men of diverse backgrounds, ages and life stages. Abounding Faith’s Bible-based books have encouraged Pastors, Pastors’ wives, missionaries, chaplains, Sunday school teachers, Christian counselors and Ministry Leaders as well as new believers.

I now have the great delight of helping to encourage and empower Christian female entrepreneurs near and far through online devotional messages.

WHY am I sharing this?

Wanna know what I’ve noticed?

Regardless of a person’s age, title, experience, background or bank account …

People are hurting. People need the Lord!

I’m honored whenever the Lord sees fit to use me to help touch even one soul, whether it’s in person, virtually or through my writing…

to God be the Glory!

I appreciate your continued prayers and support and encouragement as I live out God’s call on my life in this season.

God knows what’s on the other side of our YES!

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8 NIV)

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month

Happy (Early) Hispanic Heritage Month (9/15-10/15)

Even though Hispanics/Latinas/os are making wonderful contributions to society all throughout the year, it’s nice to have a month designated to spotlighting and celebrating the culture and accomplishments of mi gente.

If you’re looking for a Christian Latina indie/newly traditionally published author to support or collaborate with, here I am.

And to think I didn’t grow up wanting to write books …. and during the years my writing was in hiding, all I wanted to do was write encouraging postcards and notes as part of my first home church’s Adult Bible Fellowship’s Care team ….

But God had other plans!

Abounding Faith’s FIVE books are available on Amazon.

I’m honored to be a contributing writer for the NEW Rhythms of Rest devotional from Our Daily Bread’s VOICES Collection.

God is Good! Here’s a fun little snapshot of my writing career:

I STILL remember my Mom reading me my favorite bedtime stories over and over and over again … and now …

  • Pic 1: One of the earliest and only pics of me WRITING! (Ok, I’m scribbling because I’m not even two years old in the pic. LOL.)
  • Pic 2: The mini magazines I was creating in fifth grade.
  • Pic 3: Abounding Faith’s FIVE books (Book 6 is in the works) and the Rhythms of Rest devotional.

This former journalist has written for various publications over the years including The New York Times, Latina magazine and Charisma‘s website.

Thank you for your continued support as I live out the call of God on my life in this season. May Abounding Faith’s books, blog, podcast and more continue to help encourage, inspire and empower you as you walk by faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams!

I’m thrilled to share some big writing news. I’m now a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread‘s VOICES Collection! I’ve written TWO entries for this NEW lovely devotional.

Another writing longing has been fulfilled. I’ve wanted to write for Our Daily Bread since before I won their Online Writing Contest for Readers back in September 2014 … God is Good! I’m grateful for this writing breakthrough.

Thanks for your continued prayers and encouragement! If you’d like to order a signed copy from me, please message me on Facebook or Instagram.

Here’s a little more about the book:

Rhythms of Rest provides a respite for you to simply be still and spend time with the Lord. These 40 meaningful devotions from leaders in Black and multicultural communities and churches invite you to pause and reflect on Scripture as you ponder topics like soul care, sisterhood, seasons of life, and Spirit-led living.

Register for the Abounding Faith: Choosing Faith Over Fear Online Course at the New York School of the Bible

Back when I released the Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible! devotional, I had no idea that I’d be getting ready to teach a course based on it for the third straight year!

God is Good!

I’m so honored to be invited to teach this online course during the Fall I semester at the New York School of the Bible (NYSB).

I’ve taught it in the classroom on Saturday mornings and virtually on Monday nights for Summer sessions. This time we’ll be meeting online on Tuesday nights starting September 14.

I’m looking forward to meeting this semester’s students. We’re going to have a lovely time digging into God’s Word and letting our faith arise! I hope YOU will join us from anywhere in the world! Last time, we had a student in Taiwan join us.

Here’s the course description:

I hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining us. It’s going to be a blessed time.

Looking Back at Three July Short-Term Missions Trips

Three of the 5 short-term missions trips I’ve been on took place in the month of July. My missions trips have taken me to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador (left pic) and the streets of Ethiopia, Honduras (right pic) and Peru (bottom pic). Missions trips weren’t on my radar when I was growing up, but when God calls, it’s best to listen. He knows what’s on the other side of our YES!

I share many miraculous and lovely testimonies from these trips and more in my book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad. By Faith will stir your heart to follow God’s plan for your life. It includes a chapter on how to live your God-given dreams and a discussion guide you can use with your small group or book club. By Faith is available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

Blessings as you move forward by faith!

P.S. All these pics were taken at such pivotal moments in those trips. That stadium experience in Honduras (top right pic) was incredible! I felt like an Olympian for Jesus. God is Good!

Celebrating My Dad – An Ode to the Olympics & Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

Being that this week marks the start of the Olympics and it’s the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing, I’d like to share more tributes to my Dear Dad.

Olympiac Daze Part 1: What do you do when your daughter is OBSESSED with the Olympics and wants to experience all the revelry? You take her and her sister to watch TWO Olympic gymnastics trials LIVE and help to send them to the Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece! And after years of your daughter dreaming about the Olympics, you drive her to the airport and help send her to Sydney as a reporter and spectator to help make her Olympic dreams come true ….THAT’S MY DAD 💖 (Note: My Mom has been equally supportive of my past Olympic fever.)

Olympiac Daze Part 2: What do you do when your daughter is OBSESSED with skating and gymnastics and mesmerized by the Olympics? You help to fuel her passion by listening to her talk about it nonstop and you buy her top-of-the-line skates, guide her as she practiced driving to the gym and help send her to a prestigious gymnastics sleepaway camp where Olympians trained and coached (even if you got so lost driving to Pennsylvania) and you cheer her on at her first skating competition and get her flowers. I can go on and on about how my Dad (and Mom) helped to support my Olympic dreams… yup, enjoying the sports I so loved and helping me to experience them firsthand…. THAT’S MY DAD 💖 (Folks, I wasn’t kidding when I said I was an Olympiac … sports helped me through my teen years…)

Over the Moon – My Connection to Apollo 11: My Dear Dad was blessed to witness and touch different moments in history throughout his life. I blogged about my Dad’s role in the Lunar Landing project back in July 2019. You can read the blog post by clicking here.
