Hello! Thanks for stopping by this journey of faith. I’m honored you are visiting today.
My name is Debbie. I’m a single mom blessed with an autistic son whom I adopted. We also have a four-legged family member named Riley.
I am a retired teacher and trainer with several years of experience teaching in the U.S. I had the privilege of serving overseas, where I trained special education teachers and prepared staff to work with individuals who had experienced trauma. My passion is to encourage other women by walking alongside them on their journeys and praying with them side by side.
Join me on this journey as I share joyful moments, even in the midst of complex, heartbreaking, and tragic times. I focus on looking back only to recognize God’s presence during our trials, giving God praise and waves of gratitude!

Waves and Wonder of Gratitude
Yesterday, we drove over an hour away to a research hospital where we had long awaited an appointment for a procedure to find out why my twenty-year-old, disabled son’s bladder wasn’t working properly. It had been causing him pain and discomfort. We arrived an hour early, as I didn’t know what traffic would…
