Celebrating God-Given Writing Dreams Come True this Mid-Year Check-In, YouVersion News & Today’s ODB June Devotional Article

“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.”

(1 Chronicles 4:10)

By God’s GRACE, we’ve made it to the middle of 2024. That’s reason to rejoice!

If you recall, my One Word for this year is … BREAKTHROUGH!

I’m holding two major writing breakthroughs in my hands. Praise God!

This first half of the year hasn’t been perfect, of course, but it’s been a lovely whirlwind.

God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress) launched on March 5, and my first devotional articles in the Our Daily Bread devotional started appearing on May 12.

You can find my Our Daily Bread devotional article for this month TODAY, June 3rd!

If you know me, you know these milestones haven’t happened overnight.

Both of these writing breakthroughs have been more than TEN YEARS in the making.

There’s so much I could say about these major milestones. I’m going to take some time to ponder and process these moments. I’m sure I’ll have much more reflections to share down the road.

ANOTHER WRITING BREAKTHROUGH Be on the lookout for the God-Given Dreams YouVersion reading plan that should be available this Wednesday, June 5th! You might recall that I was part of the “Serving Together” Our Daily Bread Ministries’ YouVersion reading plan for Hispanic Heritage Month in 2022. I’ve been wanting to write my own YouVersion reading plan for some time now. I guess now is the time!

Another highlight from this first half of the year is that I’ll be teaching my Crossing Your River Jordan online class through the New York School of the Bible starting today, June 3.

I also had the joy of speaking at online events and being interviewed by various media outlets for my book launch, sharing a prayer and encouraging words for the online Spring Publishing in Color Conference and sharing a devotional for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ online Global Prayer Shield.

I have more updates to share, so please stay tuned here and on Abounding Faith’s social media. You can also sign up for Abounding Faith’s Email Community and get a FREE “Discovering Your God-Given Dream Checklist” PDF right here.

I’m also sharing this mid-year check-in in Episode 54 of the Abounding Faith for Today. It’s available wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you would’ve told me as a young journalist that one day I’d be writing and speaking about God and faith and the Bible, etc., I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

But God had a plot twist for me.

You can read about parts of my faith and writing journey in my previous five books as well as my new book God-Given Dreams (available wherever books are sold, see below for a special offer) and in some of my upcoming devotionals for Our Daily Bread.

Many people have come and gone from my life over the years. People have given up on these seemingly far-fetched God-given dreams I’ve had for years, but I’m so grateful that nothing stopped God’s plans for my life from coming to pass.

My Dear Dad would be so proud of these latest accomplishments. He loved celebrating my writing and God’s work in my life.

I’m so grateful to my Mom for continuing to pray me through and cheer me on.

I’m also grateful for those who have stayed on this long and winding journey with me.

Being a Christian Latina Author isn’t easy, but I’m so grateful that God has called and chosen me to honor Him through my writing and speaking gifts.

If you’re new around here, Welcome! I hope you’re encouraged and inspired by my blog, books, videos, the Abounding Faith for Today podcast, social media posts and more!

If my books have inspired you, please take a moment to leave a kind rating and review on Amazon or on Goodreads. That helps even more Readers find these edifying books.

Living your God-given dreams isn’t for the faint of heart.

How is YOUR year going?

I hope my writing and speaking encourages you as you walk by faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams.

Celebrating Our Daily Bread Devotional Writing Breakthrough & Milestone

After years of praying and preparing, my devotionals are finally being included in Our Daily Bread Ministries’ monthly devotionals!

I’m thrilled and honored that my very first devotional is appearing on Mother’s Day, May 12. What a blessing it is for me to get to honor my Mom in my very first devotional entry!

Only God could orchestrate that!

Check out a short video about this special occasion right here.

My second devotional article is appearing on May 28.

Back during my journalism days when I was writing for a major international newspaper and a national women’s magazine, I had NO idea that God would one day call me to write about Him.

This writing breakthrough certainly didn’t happen overnight.

I won Our Daily Bread‘s Online Writing Contest for Readers back in 2014.

TEN YEARS LATER, my articles are finally being published in their main devotional that’s translated into more than 55 languages around the world.

In between, I’ve written for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ VOICES Collection. Two of my devotional entries were included in their Rhythms of Rest book (2021), and I’ve written for special edition devotionals for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.

I’ve also written for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ Discovery Series website and have written for their marketing department.

Will you rejoice with me that it’s finally time for my articles to be published in the main Our Daily Bread devotional?

There’s many ways you can access the Our Daily Bread devotional including;

  • Ordering an individual monthly or quarterly subscription or multiple copies or large print copies of the printed devotional right here: https://odb.org/getprint/

  • You can read or listen to the daily devotional on ODBM’s app

Rejoicing & Reflections from an Indie Author Turned Traditionally Published Author

This March I have the honor and joy of celebrating the release of God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose, my first book with NavPress and I also get to celebrate the March/April anniversaries of the release of the Trio that started my book journey years ago: Waiting on God Well, Abounding Faith and Crossing Your Jordan River.

I’m grateful that God has allowed me to write FIVE indie Christian living books and devotionals (including By Faith and Feisty Faith), my first traditionally published book with NavPress and to contribute two entries to the Rhythms of Rest devotional from Our Daily Bread’s VOICES Collection (2021).

Yes, I’m holding SEVEN books in the picture above.

I’m so honored that God created, called and chose me to be a writer and author.

Back when I was writing in the diary my Mom gave me when I was a niña, and when I was making mini-magazines out of loose leaf paper in fifth grade, and writing for my high school and college and local newspapers, I had NO thought of writing books one day.

My dream was to write for magazines, and amazingly that came true.

I also wrote for a major newspaper.

But as my journalism career flourished, I grew further and further from God.

When God called me out of my journalism career, my writing went into hiding for YEARS!

God had a plot twist for me, which I share about in my books.

I’m so grateful that God called me to be a journaler, turned journalist, turned author.

It’s been a long and winding road to get here.

I’ve known the highs and lows and challenges of launching five Christian living books and devotionals as an indie author.

Some may look down at that choice, but that was the door the Lord opened first for this Christian Latina Author.

My journalism training definitely helped me publish the books with excellence. Those books have encouraged many near and far. I see my indie books as what it must be like to be an indie filmmaker.

I used the gifts and talents the Lord blessed me with to bless others.

I’m so grateful that I’ve also known the joy of being a contributing writer for a devotional book from Our Daily Bread a few years ago.

Now it’s time to experience the breakthrough of launching my first traditionally published book with NavPress

All glory to God!

It’s been nine years since I released my first book.

The skills and experience I’ve gained during those years have helped me as I’ve worked with my wonderful team at NavPress.

During these years of writing books, I’ve learned:

  • God-given dreams take much prayer, patience and perseverance.
  • God-given dreams take TIME.
  • God was working as I prayed, praised, prepared, planned and put pen to paper.
  • God opens doors that no person can shut!
  • Our days are ordained by God and our times are in His hands.
  • When God says it’s time, it’s TIME!
  • We don’t have to just go through the process but we can grow the process.
  • God is equipping us along the journey. We can grow and stretch and learn about ourselves, God, others, our craft, etc along the way.

I may expand on these points at a later date.

I’m honored to get to share some insights and lessons I’ve learned along my faith and writing journey in God-Given Dreams.

This new books is one of my writing milestones, BREAKTHROUGHS and God-given dream come true!

It seemed so out-of-reach for years.

This definitely wasn’t an overnight breakthrough, but it’s here now.

It’s right on time according to God’s timetable.

What’s a dream God has placed on your heart?

I hope the Bible verses and prayer prompts and reflection questions in God-Given Dreams will inspire and encourage and empower you to say yes to God’s call on your life.

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

God has good works He wants you to do in your home, community, office, classroom, etc.

May you be blessed and inspired as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams.

Let’s shine and soar for Christ!

To God be the Glory!

If any of my books have encouraged or inspired you, I’d love to know. Kind reviews and ratings on Amazon or GoodReads are always appreciated or message me on social media.

I hope you’ll order your copy of God-Given Dreams at your favorite bookstore or any of these sites:
