Sometimes we need courage to believe that God is for us. We might know what the word says but forget that it applies to our current situation. Today, no matter what you are going through, trust God with every detail. Lift your head and walk out with courage the truth that God is for you. His plans for you are good even if you can't see good right this very moment. Turn up the praise music, declare truth over your tired heart and do the next thing right in front of you.

I have enjoyed teaching these past 5 weeks, via zoom over in a FB Group to women scattered in different states. I love speaking and teaching but not much of a chance locally as our new church @sunvalleycc doesn't have womens ministry to serve in. But God keeps providing ways to continue walking in my calling since moving to Arizona. I've shown up each Tuesday for these new friends, ones I will most likely will never meet in person. But the impact has been so exciting .

I'm booked for speaking through end of the year but now beginning to book 2023. If you know a group who is looking for a Bible teacher, retreat or event speaker, check out debbiealsdorf.com

It's important that we remember God's promise to b

It's important that we remember God's promise to be with us and to help us. If you are facing something hard today keep turning your thoughts back to faith in God.

When we do this our worries quiet down and we begin to find confidence and strength. Stay in the word of God… You can't trust without faith, and faith comes from the message of the truth found in God's word. Find verses, like today's verse, to sit with, meditate on, memorize or jot down on a card to carry with you.

When tempted to doubt, refer to the truth in the verse that you have chosen.

Trouble finding verses? Google Gods promises, purchase a Bible promise book or you can also find a month worth of focus and help in my book. A Woman Who Trusts God which has an entire back section filled with biblical promises by catagory. @amazon @revellbooks

Revive means to bring back to life and strength. R

Revive means to bring back to life and strength. Restore means to bring back to an original state by repairing or rebuilding.

When we are in relationship with God, we have the freedom to be real with ourselves and with others, and unashamed of our weaknesses, embracing his healing and strength. We have all been wounded in real life and have at times traveled far from that original state of close personal fellowship with God.

When away from God we become afraid and try desperately to cover ourselves. We hide behind masks while covering up the beauty God created in us. When we come back into relationship with him, he heals our wounds and brings us back to spiritual life again.

Returning to relationship is something we can do each day when we wake up, returning again to the Lord… Day by day.
(taken from a Bible study I wrote, He is my all: Living in the truth of God's love for me. @david.c.cook)

Dinner at @thehenryrestaurant with one of my favorites @beckyharling who was in from Colorado for a few hours. Loved our time with Steve and Becky. Grateful for friendship over the years. ❤️

I often get asked what I do. It was easy to understand the scope of ministry when I worked most of my adult life at churches leading large women's ministries. But now, I wear several different hats. An author, writer, conference and retreat speaker, certified coach and now also a literary agent.

Here's a little glimpse of some of what I do… This is my front living room set up as a home studio in order to teach an online Bible study. What the pandemic gave us was the ability to realize that we could reach people all over the country right from our own homes. I am continuing to do this and I appreciate all the opportunity.

This week I taught for @bayfarmchurch in Alameda.Ca . It is run just like a regular women's ministry but online and reached women from many states. It starts with worship ( sound on) followed by teaching from my book A Woman Who Trusts God: Finding the Peace you Long for. @revellbooks @amazon

He qualifies... Hey friend I am not sure what you

He qualifies...
Hey friend I am not sure what you feel you have been called to in this season, but I do know that even if you feel it's too big for you ...if God has called you, he will provide all that you need. He is not looking for the qualified but instead for those who have surrendered their hearts over to his purposes. He qualifies those that he calls. Be encouraged today if you are following after a call on your heart from God. He is faithful. He is enough. You are enough in Him❤️

In every situation....
This isn't saying in some situations, in desirable situations, or in times we fully understand. It says ALL.

If I am to be honest I often have to stop myself and ask, Debbie what don't you understand about all… All means in everything!

So if you have a situation today and you don't know what to do with it… Take some advice from the apostle Paul right out of Philippians. Listen to wisdom from a man who has been through more than we would ever think of going through in a lifetime. He knew hardship and he knew how to rejoice and find joy in the middle of every situation. If you are in the middle today… This is for you! And guess what? It's for me too!

Hard to believe it's May and we just did Mothers Day...

Mother's Day morning began with FaceTime calls from all the out of Area kids. My heart was so full. So grateful for each of them.

For Mother's Day we went out Saturday night with our Arizona kids. They got babysitter and we did wine tasting and yummy dinner. Such a fun adult night and we've never done that with them before.

Sunday was church and great message by @meganfate @sunvalleycc followed by pool time and a yummy dinner prepared by son @justinbrier for the mamas.

I went to bed with a smile on my face. Motherhood has lots of sacrifices, sleepless nights
Mama fears, etc....but they grow up so it's important to enjoy every season... it truly goes by so fast.

Cleaning my dressing table counter today and as I

Cleaning my dressing table counter today and as I moved everything for dusting/cleaning ... these two frames. My mother and my two sons. @justinbrier @cameronjaymes .
Typing both makes me emotional. My mother was not perfect but she was mine and I loved her. A lot. My boys were true gifts as I had trouble getting pregnant and had miscarriages. When each was born they were indescribable answers to prayers. We went through a lot together when they were little, holding on to each other for survival through a hard upheaval of our lives. They will always be my heart, part of me, no matter how far they are or how old they are. Whether near or far, I am their imperfect mother too. And I love them more than words.... just a Mother's Day pause, while cleaning this morning. Irene Kenzie, you are always with me and I'm remembering you this Mother's Day. I always long for one more hug, to share a Carl's Jr. or wheel you through the mall. Wish you were here. For those missing moms, I understand❤️
More tomorrow because I'm also a bonus mama...lots of mom thoughts🌹

Let us approach God... to find grace and help... in our current need.

How do we approach a God?
A God we cannot see? We stop and pray. How do we pray? We talk to God the way we would talk to a friend. We ask for help because he cares. We ask for grace because he desires to give it. We come to him with every need from the smallest thing to the larger hardships. He cares and he invites us to approach him, the God of comfort, the God of strength, and The God who makes a difference in the lives of people who put their trust in him.

There's so much to being a woman. And much involve

There's so much to being a woman. And much involved to being a woman facing age with gratefulness. From the time we are about 35 we begin to see the tell-tale signs of life lived. From lines around our eyes to stretch marks on our belly, being a woman is a gift and a challenge wrapped into one. As we age we face different challenges at different stages. But one by one we can face them gratefully. Age doesn't define us, it just keeps track of the days lived ... and that's a gift.

So today whether you are 65 or 35 face the season with a sparkle of joy. Because your one and only life is a gift. And spread the sparkle to all you know because they too are gifts along the path in the measure of your days.❤️

Hey friends… I have been teaching a class on ...living in the meantime ...using my book, a woman who trust God. @revellbooks

Living in the meantime comes down to a practicing of trust. Who am I trusting?

It has been so good for my soul to sit in the pages of that book again. Does that surprise you? Being I wrote the book? Lol.

I want to encourage everyone out there who write and create content. It is often the things you write and create that come back to you and touch your heart in very deep ways. Keep moving forward, keep pressing into the words in the messages that God is placing on your heart… They are for someone and most possibly they might especially be for you.

I love what I get to do as a writer and speaker but I am loving just as much what I now get to do as a literary agent. It is a joy to be a champion for other people, helping them reach their dreams of becoming published so that their words can bring hope, life and enjoyment to others.

We all get to choose. No one can steal your attitude, you have to give it away. Preserve it, hold to Hope, resist offense, live loved.

Have a great Thursday friends!!!

With Mother's Day coming up, there are many women

With Mother's Day coming up, there are many women with mixed emotions.

I wrote a book with my friend and therapist @joan.edwards.kay that is for all women, because every woman is a daughter. And all of us as daughters have unique experiences growing up and because home is where our story began and where we learned things about life, ourselves or womanhood ... that could use a fresh look now that we are adults. This book is about the complicated relationship that can exist between a mother and daughter and the God who can heal our hurts, change our hearts and help us move to a better place in all our relationships.
@tyndalehouse

This book is available @amazon @barnesandnoble or wherever books are sold
