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.

You can find links to Abounding Faith’s inspiring content at AboundingFaith.com

If you’d like me to come alongside you to help you SOAR in 2024, learn more about Individual Christian Life Coaching right here.

May the rest of the year be the best of the year!

May you keep the faith as you continue to love and serve the Lord.

To God be the Glory!

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16 NIV)

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 entries online right here: https://odb.org/ 
  • You can read or listen to the daily devotional on ODBM’s app
  • You can also find links to the daily devotional on Our Daily Bread Ministries’ social media

I hope my devotional entries encourage and inspire you.

Thanks for all your prayers and support as I live this long-awaited God-given dream come true!

Check out Abounding Faith’s social media to find out when my devotionals will be running.

I may also share monthly updates about my upcoming devotional articles right here and with Abounding Faith’s Email Community.

Our Daily Bread Ministries is a global ministry with staff and volunteers in over 35 offices working together to distribute more than 60 million resources in 150 countries.

Want to Show Your Support?

I’d like to share a prayer I shared on social media for last week’s World Book Day:

A Prayer for My Readers: I pray my books will help to encourage, inspire and empower you as you walk by faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams. I pray the Bible verses and insight and the anecdotes, prayer prompts and reflection questions in my books and devotionals will help you grow in your love and faith in God. I pray you’ll have a deeper revelation and understanding of God’s extravagant LOVE FOR YOU!

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NIV)

SHOWING SUPPORT

If my books, social media posts, emails, blog posts, YouTube videos and the Abounding Faith for Today podcast have encouraged and inspired you, here are some great ways to show your support for this Christian Latina Author and Content Creator:

  • Grab copies of my NEW book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress) for you and yours wherever you get your books and help spread the word about my empowering books to others. Your kind reviews on Amazon or Goodreads are greatly appreciated as they will help more Readers discover these uplifting books.
  • Show your love on Abounding Faith’s social media pages by following, liking, sharing and commenting on posts.
  • Buy me a virtual cup of coffee or two or more or join Abounding Faith’s Dream Team via Patreon.

Being a writer, content creator and a creative is not for the faint of heart.

I appreciate all your prayers, encouragement and support as I live my God-given dreams in this season.

I’m honored to get to inspire and encourage you as you live your divine purpose!
