Reflections on Abounding Faith’s SOAR Women’s Conference!

God did it again! He gave me a dream/desire and then let me live that dream! He placed the word SOAR in my heart as a theme for this year, and He gave me the desire to have a women’s conference. After much praying and planning, the day finally arrived.

I’m so grateful to all the women who came to my very first women’s conference on Saturday! They were all so gracious and encouraging. We had a lovely time of fellowship, learning about God-given dreams, and praying and sharing some of those dreams.

I’m so touched by the feedback the ladies shared with me!  Here’s what one of the guests said was the best part of the conference for her:

“I was encouraged to pray and seek God for my life’s purpose.”

Wow, that statement alone is priceless and means my mission for this conference was accomplished!

Here’s a quick video from another guest. Priscilla is one of the leaders of Queens, NY AGLOW.

Here are a few pics with highlights from Saturday’s conference held at Open Bible Church International:

Here are some of the audacious dreamers & doers who wrote their dreams on our Dream Wall. (Inspired by Missions.Me and the Dream Walls our teams got to do with school kids on missions trips to Honduras and Peru).

The ladies were already asking about my next conference. Praise God!

I’m already praying about possibly having a co-ed conference in the fall. I hope you’re getting my monthly updates so you won’t miss any news.  If you’d like to be added to my mailing list, please email me at info@aboundingfaith.com.

I’d also love to come speak at your event! You can learn more about inviting me to come speak to your group here.

I’m grateful to my loving family, my fabulous volunteers, and my generous sponsors for all their support and encouragement.

A special thank you to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for providing prizes and giveaways for my guests.

 

Here is a short video recap I shot after the conference:God is moving. I’m excited! Thanks for staying on this faith journey with me!

I pray you will be inspired to live your God-given dreams! God is Good and God loves YOU! Blessings!

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” (Luke 1:45)

Let’s SOAR Together at Abounding Faith’s Women’s Conference this Saturday!

It’s kind of surreal to know that my very first women’s conference is this Saturday!

I count it a privilege and honor to speak about my Lord and to encourage others to believe God and to live out their God-given dreams! I’m so grateful for every audacious dreamer and doer who is setting aside time in her busy schedule to be at Abounding Faith’s SOAR Women’s Conference! I have been praying and preparing for this event. I’m trusting that God will bless and meet each lady right where they are in their faith journey!

I believe God wants to birth new dreams and resurrect a few dreams for the women who are there on Saturday!

I’m delighted that the ladies attending the event are of different ages, life stages, backgrounds, and churches. The women are going to be a lovely mosaic and reflection of the beauty found in NYC!

I’m so thankful for all my volunteers and those individuals who have generously sponsored this event. I couldn’t hold these events without them! I’m also grateful to my friends at Our Daily Bread and TBN NY for providing prizes for the fun raffles we will be having.

I’ll be sure to share photos and reflections with you! Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.  To learn more about this Saturday’s conference, click here. Friday is the last day to register. Blessings!

Reflections on Crossing Your Jordan River’s Book Launch Event

After all the writing, editing, and production deadlines are done, it’s always a blessing to get to celebrate the launch of a new book with family and friends!

I’m so grateful to everyone who helped me celebrate the release of Crossing Your Jordan River: How to Possess and Prosper in Your Promised Land (available on Amazon).

Looking at these pictures makes me smile!

I’m so touched that these friends would come and support what God is doing in and through my life! Many of them have come to several of my events. I appreciate all their encouragement!

I’m grateful to my wonderful volunteers and to Open Bible Church International for once again opening their doors for one of my events!

Here are a few more pics from Saturday’s event. The third shot is of some of the mugs, journals, and tote bags found exclusively at Abounding Faith’s online store.

I pray that those who attend my events (including my upcoming women’s conference)  and those who read my books are inspired and encouraged to follow God with their whole hearts and to trust Him to lead and guide them.

I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback about my third book.

If Crossing Your Jordan River blesses you, I hope you will take a moment to leave a short and kind review on Amazon.

Blessings to you as you face the walls of Jericho in your life and cross your Jordan River into your Promised Land!

Crossing Your Jordan River Book On Sale Now!

I’m excited to announce that Crossing Your Jordan River: How to Possess and Prosper in Your Promised Land is now available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

I pray you’ll be blessed by reading my latest book! If you are blessed, please leave a kind and short review on Amazon and tell your friends, family, and small group members about it as well.

Crossing Your Jordan River picks up where Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith leave off. It includes Power Verses, Reflection Questions, Prayer Starters, and has blank lines for you to journal your thoughts just as Books 1 and 2 do.

Would you believe I didn’t set out to write this “trilogy” of books? God just worked it out this way.

I may have grown up writing in my journals and gone on to get a master’s degree in journalism from NYU and write for The New York Times, but I didn’t think about writing books until much later. I think that’s why I’m in awe when I see this picture of my author page on Amazon.

Only God could do this! I’m humbled that God would allow me to write another book that honors Him.

I’ll have plenty of thoughts to share after my upcoming book launch event.

For now, I’ll share this description of Crossing Your Jordan River:

Do you ever feel like you’re never going to make it to your Promised Land? Be encouraged—God wants you to get there even more than you do! Crossing Your Jordan River will take you on a journey with Joshua from the Bible so you can learn how he went from being Moses’ aide and living in the wilderness for forty years to leading the children of Israel triumphantly into the Promised Land. Be inspired as you prepare, pursue, and possess God’s promises for your life!

Thanks again for your prayers and support! To God be the Glory!

Abounding Faith Books Update

As I gear up to release my third book in April, I’d like to take a moment to share a few updates about my first two books. I’m honored and humbled to see how the Lord is opening doors and allowing my books to reach even more readers!

I’m delighted that Bible study groups have started studying Waiting on God Well and that it is on the approved reading list for The Bowery Mission Women’s Center.

I’m excited that Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith will also be sold in a new bookstore opening in California in May! I will be sure to share more details soon!

It’s a blessing to hear from readers and to know that they are being touched by my books. It helps to spur me on to keep writing! It’s lovely words like these that help to encourage me to keep going:

  • Waiting on God Well was quite insightful and encouraging. It gave some very practical tools that can help us continue waiting on the Lord and not give up,”       Pastor Lillian Gutierrez, Love Gospel Assembly
  • Waiting on God Well is a good and simple read with excellent scriptural references/meditation and (my favorite), the action steps. They’re so HELPFUL! I feel that women, men or anyone who’s willing to seek God’s guidance can benefit from you book,” Manni Lee, Associate Executive Director, Women of Wonder (WOW)

For more reader reviews, click here.

I am grateful for all my readers and for every opportunity I get to speak and encourage folks as they wait on God to fulfill His promises to them and as they believe God for the impossible!

If you have been blessed by my books, I would love to hear from you. Kind reviews of Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith are always welcome. Please feel free to leave a short review on Amazon or to email Info@AboundingFaith.com. I’d also appreciate your help spreading the word about both books to your friends, family, small groups, and book clubs!

I’m looking forward to sharing more news about my third book and the other doors the Lord is opening. Please stay tuned.

Blessings to you as you continue on your faith journey! I hope you are seeing God’s fingerprints in your life!
