Celebrating Writing Breakthrough

I’ve wanted to write for Our Daily Bread since before I won their Online Writing Contest for Readers in 2014. After years of praying and preparing … I’m thrilled to be a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread‘s VOICES Collection’s popular Rhythms of Rest and On the Shoulders of Giants devotionals. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Let’s see what the Lord does next … to God be the Glory!

I’ve got great news to share about the special On the Shoulders of Giants devotional. It’s already their most successful Black History devotional! They’ve distributed more than 50,000 copies already and have back orders for more. God is Good!

You can still order FREE printed booklets here.

You can now also sign up for the online version here.

If you’re already reading through the devotional this month, let me know in the comments. And if you find my entry, I hope you’re blessed. P.S. My entry is on Wednesday, February 9.

Celebrating My Dear Dad, Year Anniversary Edition

How in the world does this month mark one year since my Dear Dad moved to Heaven? It’s only by God’s GRACE that I’ve gotten here … your prayers and friendship have also helped. Gracias!

I FINALLY found the song that’s been playing in the back of my mind as I see photos of my Dad and try to sum up all that he experienced … my Dear Dad was far from perfect, but he loved deeply and loved life and lived with GUSTO! He loved his family, his native Ecuador AND the U.S. where he was a proud citizen for all his adult life., he gave generously, fought for immigrants’ rights worldwide, met Popes at the Vatican, traveled Europe, helped earthquake victims in Ecuador, was an earthquake survivor as a child, climbed the ANDES Mountains and a few volcanoes for FUN, attended a World’s Fair, worked on the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing project, helped 9/11 families in the wake of the disaster, was interviewed by the press countless times over the years, hobknobbed with elected officials, wrote a book that’s in libraries in Ecuador and on and on and of course, loved God … I finally read the lyrics of this song and although I DOUBT my Dad ever heard this song, I can’t help but think this is one of the things he’d say:

“I, I did it all

I owned every second that this world could give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived” (“Lived” by OneRepublic)

Although, to my knowledge, he never broke a bone. LOL Still, I’ve obviously inherited some of his zest for travel and adventure … God must’ve wired us that way and we must’ve gotten some of it from our adventurous ancestors… lol .. my Dear Dad never ceased to surprise me … that’s why people who really KNOW me have probably heard me say what I write at the end of these tributes … YUP, THAT’S MY DAD 💖 Enjoy this short tribute video (above).

This month also marks the celebration of the famous parade in my Dad’s beloved Ecuador that’s like their Rose Parade. My Dear Dad LOVED going to this parade. It was started years ago to celebrate the town’s first harvest after a devastating earthquake. My Dad and one of my uncles were young survivors of that earthquake. It’s a fascinating story that I got to ask my Dad all about while interviewing him. I had the extreme pleasure of going to the parade with my Dad one year and actually walked in the parade. It was so much bigger and brighter than I had imagined. I’m still so grateful I got to enjoy it with him (even though I got a major sunburn that day! I forgot how close we were to the equator!) Here are a few pics of some of the beautiful memories I cherish and treasure. Knowing how to have a good time and being proud of his roots … That’s My Dad 💖

If you’d like to learn a little more about my Dear Dad and some of our travels, check out, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad.

If you’d like to read some of my tributes and learn about some of what’s helped me through this grief journey, check out the blog post links below or Season 6 of the Abounding Faith for Today podcast. I pray you’ll be encouraged on your own grief journey.

Happy New Year & My “One Word” for 2022

“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13 NIV)

Happy and Blessed New Year to You and Yours!

I pray this year will be filled with grace upon grace and favor upon favor! I pray you will experience God’s love in a deeper and more profound way and that you will sense God’s Miraculous and Lovely presence all throughout your days!

It’s nice to turn the page and start a brand-new year.

My “One Word” for 2022 is ABIDE!

It’s by abiding in Christ’s love that we can draw the strength, grace and courage we need to live by faith day by day.

As we abide in Christ, we’ll become more like Him and that’s the most important transformation and breakthrough we can experience in our lives.

So as we face challenges this year (and beyond), let’s remember to ABIDE:

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1 KJV)

And as we dare to live our God-given dreams, let’s remember to ABIDE:

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” (John 15:4 KJV)

Let’s remember, we’re meant to SOAR!

Abounding Faith is here to spur you on in your faith!

If you feel God calling you to step out in faith in 2022, I’d be delighted to help you on your journey to experiencing your breakthrough and living your God-given dreams.

Here are three ways I can support you on your journey:

  • Abounding Faith’s FIVE Christian living books and devotionals have Bible verses, insights and practical tips to encourage and inspire you as you walk by faith. You can find these uplifting books on Amazon.
  • If you’d like help discerning God’s call on your life, the “Discovering Your God-Given Purpose” online course is perfect for you. It’s simple and easy to follow and a great way to prepare for your breakthrough. Learn more here.
  • If you’re looking for personalized help to gain the clarity, confidence and courage to live your God-given dreams, then one-on-one life coaching is for you. Learn more here.

Let’s SOAR together in 2022!

May it be our best year yet!

If you’re looking for ways to ring in the New Year with Abounding Faith, here’s a great 2022 Starter Kit:

Treat yourself to Abounding Faith’s FIVE inspiring books available on Amazon and find encouraging journals, mugs, magnets and more at Abounding Faith’s Online Store.

Let your faith ARISE!

As we enter this new year, I’d also like to take a moment to share this pic and thoughts:

Celebrating My Dear Dad, New Year’s Edition: My Dad took his sweet time carving this a few years ago. He told us he used to carve like that when mountain climbing along the Andes … the other day when I found some of those pics I saw some that included those carvings. Leaving his mark here and in Ecuador all throughout the years… that’s My Dear Dad! He lives on in our hearts, memories, hundreds of other ways and most importantly in heaven…
