My friend, Michelle, shared; “These waves of trials and circumstances are very real and overwhelming to me right now. But Debbie, the question is not whether or not I see them; the question is whether or not I see ONLY them.

Everyday God: I AM
Think about how crazy it was for Moses to hear God speaking from a burning bush. It seems a little weird too. God speaks in love but He’s direct when He tells Moses, “Get to Egypt, get my people and GO!”

Everyday Return Home
Jesus welcomes ALL of us to Him. He is our Home. He pursues us, loves us. The prodigal son returned home, and the father ran to Him, unconditional love with no condemnation.

Have you ever found yourself reading the Bible entirely through the lens of what you want and what you feel?

Everyday Need Grace
Okay there’s this kind of Christians who is “stuck” outside the tension between law and grace – and specifically I’m talking about those who don’t know they need grace. I have been that girl at various times myself.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Red Sea
The same God that parted the Red Sea for Moses is the same God for you and me. He never changes. He can make a way when there seems to be no way.

Everyday Kissing
“Debbie, do you think God is okay with a couple just kissing without anything physical going on? I need to know the difference between something being culturally prohibited, and something that God is angered by?

Everyday Buzz Cut
It's not my husband’s fault. I should have taken our long-haired teen Joey to get a haircut before swimming practice, myself.

Everyday Walk of Faith
The walk of faith really comes down to releasing our attempts to control our life because the opposite of faith isn't doubt but control.

Everyday Love Journey
I am Debbie with a slight curve of scoliosis made less noticeable with the surgery I had as an adult. I am Debbie who needs to look everyday in the mirror and wonder what else I can do to my hair that will change my life.

Everyday Blood of Christ
We’ve all made mistakes because we’re all sinners. Our sins hurt us and others on some level. God loves us and will use our messes to help ministry to others, but Satan will always try and condemn us, and he also works in others with his lies.

Everyday Sacrifice
How do you know when you’ve given enough to get to God? You don’t. Yet many people believe that there are many roads to God and that true spirituality is just to love your neighbor and help the poor.

Everyday Life Changing
When I’m travelling alone at a hotel, I often surf the channels on TV. Inevitably I will come upon a shopping network or paid product advertisement where I sit mesmerized and convinced that if I order in the next ten minutes this product will change my life.

I’ve never met Billy, but he subscribes to the email of Everyday Matters and often sends poems from the verses I share. He is confined to a wheelchair and has a head injury.

Everyday Susan Prayer
Susan was the coordinator of speakers for a conference in New York City. I was one of them. We developed a friendship of email praying, and this was way back in the day, in 2006, before texting and the smart phone took over our lives.

Everyday Substitute Teacher
I still remember the day of substitute teaching 11th graders with 15 minutes of free chat time before the bell rang and literally, out of the blue, Ryan shouts out; “I want to know if God’s real?”
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Oh God
We hear it all the time, the phrase “Oh, my God!” to express a thought or idea that is incredible or unbelievable. But as we grow in a relationship with Christ, we need to realize that when we say, “Oh, my God” we’re, in fact, violating one of God’s Ten Commandments;
