Everyday Relationship with God
When you have a relationship with God, and you know you’re one of His kids. We can rest and be certain of His faithfulness.
Thursday Matters
Everyday Serving
Honestly, I think the best way to help yourself is by serving others.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Gentle Answer
Sometimes I talk too much. Even if I’m talking about good things, it’s still better if I follow the advice of Proverbs 10:19; “Don’t talk too much, for it fosters sin. Be sensible and turn off the flow!”
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Strong Will
I have a strong will. I’m sure someone listening right now can totally relate to the fact that while our spirits may be strong and willing our flesh fails us time and time again.
Monday Matters
Everyday Power Ranger
I met a Power Ranger, the blue one, and he’s name is Michael Copon. I met him at a conference I attended in North Carolina for actors in faith-based movies and television.

Everyday Confess for Forgiveness
Do you feel rejected by a friend or family member? Let me tell you...YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Thursday Matters
Everyday Waiting
I wait on: words. I wait for emails. I wait on texts. I wait on calls. And I wait for conversations. I find myself waiting on others’ words and what they have to say, even if they’re words from Jesus.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Depression Valley
I had a season of depression and anxiety that I walked in for over three months in 2009, and it was so wretched that I actually had thoughts of, “Maybe I should end this pain.”
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Is Anything Too Hard for God
On our chalk board I have written Genesis 18:14, “Is anything too hard for God?" I pass by this chalkboard on the way to our bedroom and on the way to the outdoor world.
Monday Matters
Everyday Anxiety
I hate it. Anxiety. And especially when it seems to consume me and I become frozen and unfocused and I can't move from the couch. So..... I thought I'd share what does help me. You're not alone here.
Friday Matters
Everyday Surrender
It’s an everyday surrender to God to let go of people, places and problems that hurt us. He's a Promise Keeper. He will bring us through the hardest trial AND there will be something redemptive and good that comes out of it.
Thursday Matters
Everyday Fishing
It’s hard when you see a mess in someone’s life, and you know exactly how they should clean up their act. But it’s not our job.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Future Walking
The devil wants each of us to concentrate on how far we have fallen rather than how far we have risen through Christ.
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Walking Through
Isaiah 43:2 is truly a comfort from God, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, and the flame will not burn you.
Monday Matters
Everyday Peace
There have been seasons in my life when peace felt impossible. And that’s because I kept waiting for a FEELING of peace
Friday Matters
Everyday Cancer
“My husband has cancer” I wrote that in the subject line of an email announcement that I sent to over 100 family and friends in 2010. My brother responded, “Wow, Deb that’s powerfully blunt to write in the subject line.”
Thursday Matters
Everyday Nagging
Sometimes it’s hard not to get my way. Hey, who am I kidding, it’s always hard not to get my way.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Genie in a Bible
How do you view yourself? Do you think about what God sees or what others see?
Tuesday Matters
Everyday God is a Shelter
When feeling lonely or afraid I go to the Psalms for comfort. Psalm 91:4 really hit me the other day; “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He will shield you with His wings. He will shelter you with His feathers. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
Monday Matters
Everyday Parenting Boys
My husband and I had four sons who are now adults. I thank God I was a mom of boys (too many hormones and hair products with a girl).
