Living Abundantly: Embrace Your Best Life

“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10b

Welcome! I’m Amy Nelson, and I believe God calls us to live with fullness, joy, and victory — even when life feels messy or hard.

My Story

I grew up in northern New Jersey (and no, Jersey girls aren’t like what you see on TV!). After raising our family there, my husband, Chip, and I recently moved to South Florida where he serves in ministry.

Like many of you, I’ve faced my share of challenges. Life has handed me seasons of loss, disappointment, and questions. My strong-willed, stubborn personality has often been what kept me moving forward — searching for growth, healing, and hope.

Discovering Abundant Life

Over the years, my curiosity about John 10:10 — the abundant life Jesus promises — has driven me to dig deeper. I devoured books, teachings, and scripture, always seeking to become better, stronger, and more faith-filled.

I haven’t “arrived” by any means, but I have learned some life-changing lessons along the way. Those lessons continue to shape me — and now, I want to share them with you.
