Tag: God’s Faithfulness

My “One Word” for this year has been “Beauty.”  I’m grateful for this beautiful year that started with hosting my second women’s conference! What a blessing it was to be among all the lovely women who attended. What a delight to welcome Nyack College as the Presenting Sponsor! They generously offered a partial scholarship to one guest and my friends at Our Daily Bread Ministries and TBN NY also offered great prizes to my guests.

This year also included the launch of my fourth book, By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad. What a joy to get to share how I’ve seen God’s miraculous and lovely fingerprints during my travels to 6 continents! By Faith is a book that has been stirring inside of me for years. I’m so grateful that God allowed me to release it this fall and that it’s been endorsed by Our Daily Bread Ministries, the President of Nyack College and a Regional Director of the Christian Women in Media Association!

And after years of thinking and praying about it, the Lord also saw it fit for me to launch the “Abounding Faith for Today Podcast.” I’m thrilled that Season 1 of the “Abounding Faith for Today Podcast” is on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts or Stitcher and more!

Another delight was to have excerpts from By Faith published on SpiritLed Woman‘s website and Charisma’s social media! You can read excerpts about how God chased me down in Australia, how the Holy Spirit showed up during my short-term missions trip to Peru, how the Lord spoke to me during my trip to Israel and more. You can find links to all 6 six inspiring articles at AboundingFaith.com.

It was also a blessing to get to speak at Chapel at The Bowery Mission’s Women’s Center and The Bowery Mission’s Tribeca site and to help kick of the Christmas celebrations for my friends at Woodcrest Nursing Home and Rehab Center. What an honor it was to lead the service for my friends at Central Delaware Trinity Covenant on the last Sunday of the year! It was my fourth year in a row visiting them.

Other highlights from this year include getting to celebrate another birthday in my bday castle. Here’s a pic from one of my fave rooms, the library!

Here’s a short video greeting I shot in the library.

This year I also launched the Living by Abounding Faith collection on Abounding Faith’s online store. God is Good!

As I look back at some of the faces and places from this year, I smile and can see God’s hand in all of it. It hasn’t been a perfect year, but it has been filled with lots of beauty!

It helps to encourage me to continue inspiring and encouraging you and others through the words I write and speak and through the events I host and the items I create.

Walking by faith isn’t easy, but it’s worth it! I’m grateful that you’re on this journey with me.

As I look ahead to 2019 and beyond, I rest in knowing that God is in control and His beautiful plan for me and for you is already written and will continue to unfold in His perfect timing.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith! If you find yourself growing weary, as we all do at times, remember to keep reading your Bible and Pray, Dream, Do and Repeat!
