“God loves it when we take Him at His Word. The more we consider the greatness of our God, the more our faith in Him will arise and abound.” – Nancy Gavilanes, God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress)

How has it already been almost a month since the release of my NEW book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose?

What a joy and honor it’s been to release this book into the world!

I shared a quick recap of book launch week in this blog post.

I’ve got a few more updates to share to round out my book launch month festivities.

What a delight it was to join author Pam Farrel and her “Seasoned Sisters” online book club to talk about God-Given Dreams! It was so lovely to speak, pray and worship with sisters in different states including California, Arizona and Idaho.

What a blessing it was to be interviewed LIVE on the “Mornings with Carmen LaBerge” radio show on Faith Radio about God-Given Dreams! It’s wonderful to know Billy Graham founded this radio station 75 years ago. The replay of the interview is now on the Mornings with Carmen LaBerge podcast and right here. My segment starts at around minute 22.

I was also delighted to share an excerpt from God-Given Dreams with the Hispanic Theological Initiative’s Open Plaza. Check it out right here and be encouraged.

I’m so grateful to everyone who is helping to spread the word about this inspiring and encouraging book!

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!

You’re Invited to join me for a special Facebook Live on Abounding Faith’s Facebook page tomorrow, March 5 at 12 pm (EST) to celebrate the release of God-Given Dreams! Come and hear an excerpt from God-Given Dreams and find out how ONE winner will receive a free copy of God-Given Dreams.

All Glory to God for allowing me to experience this long-awaited breakthrough and God-given dream come true.

It’s been a long and painstaking journey to get here.

Back when I was a journalist, I was experiencing lots of success in a short timeframe. I was pursuing my dreams and accomplishing many of my career goals, but still feeling empty. I had been running from God.

But God had a plan and plot twist for my life.

After years of being trained and prepared in the wilderness and obscurity, I’m now living many of my God-given dreams.

What a difference that’s made!

Throughout the pages of this empowering book, I share some of my story and lessons and insights I’ve learned along the way and Bible figures who have encouraged me.

I wrote God-Given Dreams because over the years I’ve met women of different backgrounds and ages and ethnicities and life stages and races who have a desire to live their God-given dreams and purpose but they feel insecure and inadequate.

Many feel misunderstood or underestimated or even marginalized.

I wrote God-Given Dreams to empower, encourage and inspire God’s beloved daughters.

God loves you.

Your God-given dreams matter!

Here are the words from the back cover of God-Given Dreams:

Are you struggling to find your purpose? Do you battle with feelings of insecurity, doubt, or fear of being unqualified or unworthy? Are you looking for inspiration and empowerment to live out your God-given dreams? God has given you strengths and a divine purpose, but sometimes life has a way of beating us down and robbing us of our confidence.

If you’re struggling with feelings of unworthiness, inadequacy, or invisibility, God-Given Dreams offers hope and encouragement through six transformative truths—that you are Created, Called, Chosen, Conformed, Clothed, and Commissioned—which will help you break free from the chains of doubt and fear.

Uncover just how precious you are to your heavenly Father and become the fabulous, fierce, and fruitful woman God has called you to be.

You can still preorder God-Given Dreams today at various sites including:

I’m so excited that in about ONE WEEK God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress, March 5) will be released into the world!

My prayer is that God’s beloved daughters near and far will find the encouragement they need to have the courage to say yes to God’s plan for their lives.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this book.

I’m thrilled that I can share an excerpt from this inspiring book below and a few lovely endorsements.

May you be encouraged by this excerpt from God-Given Dreams:

“We’re to bear good fruit for the Kingdom, and that includes growing in the fruit of the Spirit. Living your God-given dreams is acknowledging that God has chosen you to collaborate with Him.

God chose us to be His loving hands, feet, mouth, and more in this world. God has ordained us to fulfill certain Kingdom assignments. If you’ve ever thought you didn’t have any special gifts or talents, think again.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

God may have given you the ability to sing, dance, write, lead, speak, or teach. Ask God to show you how He’d like you to use those gifts to serve Him.

It’s easy to be tempted to compare with, compete with, or copy someone else’s gift, but let’s instead remember that God is creative and generous. He has plenty of gifts and talents for all His children.

When I first started meeting people at church, I would hear them talk about their “ministries,” and it made me wonder how they were assigned their ministries. I wondered if I had missed a meeting where ministries were handed out. I gradually learned that God has given each of us different Kingdom assignments, or ministries. When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, He blesses us with at least one spiritual gift to carry out those assignments.

Scripture offers a window into what kinds of spiritual gifts are available to believers. For example, take 1 Corinthians 12:7-11:

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

We don’t earn our spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit distributes them as He determines.

In Romans 12:3-8, the apostle Paul reminds us that all spiritual gifts are necessary. We all belong to the same body of Christ. We’re to use our gifts according to our faith, and with generosity and diligence and cheerfulness:

By the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Ephesians 4:11-13 says Jesus placed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in the church to help build up His body so we can mature in our faith, become more Christlike, and minister to others as He did.

Serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leading, and showing mercy are just some of the gifts available to believers.

I found it so helpful and affirming to discover my spiritual gifts by taking a class and filling out spiritual gifts surveys. These things confirmed that I was already using some of my gifts and helped me understand how God had wired me to serve Him. You may want to take a spiritual-gifts class at your church or speak with your pastor or a trusted ministry leader to learn more. There are also books about the different spiritual gifts. You might even want to take a free spiritual-gifts survey online.

Our gifts don’t belong to us. Our gifts and talents are to be shared with others. We truly are blessed to be a blessing.”

“Our gifts don’t belong to us. Our gifts and talents are to be shared with others. We truly are blessed to be a blessing.” – Nancy Gavilanes, God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose

I’m thrilled that the launch of God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress, March 5) is just 2 WEEKS AWAY!

My early copies of God-Given Dreams have arrived and they look SO LOVELY!

I’m looking forward to sharing photos and more info with you.

What a journey it’s been to get this close to launch day…

All the praying, planning, preparing, writing, editing, revising and so much more …

I’m now in the thick of scheduling and preparing for upcoming interviews about my new book. More info on the way. Please stay tuned.

As I’ve mentioned before, writing a book can be a solitary journey. So much goes on behind the scenes.

But we’ve gotten to the part where I can share more images, quotes, endorsements, and info about my new book. I hope you’re Following Abounding Faith on social media and Liking and Sharing posts.

I’m also going to be sharing a special promo code with Abounding Faith’s Email Community. Are you signed up? Be sure to sign up for my email Community right here.

It’s been a long and winding road to get to this breakthrough. Thanks for staying on this journey with me!

When God called me out of my successful journalism career years ago, I didn’t have a plan B. Writing books was definitely NOT on my radar. My writing went into hiding for YEARS.

But God had a plot twist for me.

I went from living my dreams to living my God-given dreams.

What’s the difference? I write about it my new book

I wrote God-Given Dreams because I know how frustrating and confusing it can be to try to figure out what God’s calling you to do and how daunting it can feel when it looks like all the odds are stacked against you.

It can feel discouraging, disappointing, and downright disheartening.

It can even make you wonder if you misheard God.

Thankfully, I also know the joy of answering God’s call.

My prayer is that you will also know the joy of being God’s beloved daughter and will be able to flourish in all that God is calling you to do.

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

I’ve included personal anecdotes of my own faith and writing journey in God-Given Dreams. I share how I went from being a young Latina writer to a successful journalist to how God called me to become a Christian author, speaker, podcaster, life coach, Bible school instructor and more.

I’ve learned many lessons and insights along the way that I’m looking forward to sharing with my readers

I’m sharing Bible stories and Bible characters who have inspired me. I’m also sharing the Six Cs of Transformation framework that I created for my Bible school students and coaching clients. The feedback that I’ve gotten about this material is that women feel affirmed and accepted and loved and joy and so I pray that these Six Cs of Transformation will also encourage and inspire you. I’ve also included reflection questions activity ideas and prayer starters.

“The woman who stares back at you in the mirror each morning is dearly loved by God and is His masterpiece. Let that truth silence any lies you may have believed, and let it change the way you see yourself.” – Nancy Gavilanes, God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose

I’m thrilled that there’s only 1 MONTH until the launch day for my upcoming book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress, March 5)

I’m excited to be able to start sharing quotes and more details about God-Given Dreams and can continue sharing some behind-the-scenes updates with you.

I wrote God-Given Dreams for women who desire to have more courage, confidence, and clarity as they discover and dare to live God’s call on their life. This book is designed to inspire and encourage and empower Christian women of diverse backgrounds as they live for Jesus and walk by abounding faith, hope, and love.

God-Given Dreams is for the woman struggling to find her purpose and battling with feelings of insecurity, doubt, or fear of being unqualified or unworthy. God-Given Dreams offers hope and encouragement through six transformative truths—that we are Created, Called, Chosen, Conformed, Clothed, and Commissioned—which will help women break free from the chains of doubt and fear. God-Given Dreams is filled with Scripture and includes reflection questions to help readers dig deeper, activity ideas to help readers take actionable steps, and prayer prompts to help readers connect with God.

I’m praying that women near and far are inspired by God-Given Dreams. My hope is that this book is not just read in solitude but that women read it together with others—their friends and family, small group members, or Women’s Ministry members.    

As we get closer and closer to the launch day, I’m honored to be getting interviewed on a podcast by a well-known author and on different sites, getting invited to speak to a few wonderful groups, and planning my launch events.

I’m delighted to see many getting excited about the upcoming release of God-Given Dreams and agreeing to share the news with their friends, family and network.
