FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:
In high school I won State in high jump and it wasn’t even my sport. The gal that had trained all year was sick; they put me in as her replacement and I hurdled the 4’7″ bar, not knowing how to roll over a bar! My long legs came in handy that day, and I came home with a gold trophy in a sport I had never tried or even trained for! (FYI: That’s encouragement for beginning writers!)
I had a double wedding! Yes, that is correct. I became the bride of Christ the day I asked our Pastor to marry my husband of now 34 years. I have two adult children that I am so proud of and love so much! We also have three grandbabies and one on the way! Those sweet babies are the loves of my life!
The biggest fish I ever caught was a 185-pound tuna off the coast of Hawaii. That is no fisherwoman’s tall tale! My earthly father was an avid fisherman, so I grew up fishing. My Heavenly Father has given me the calling of helping women fish for souls through their words. This is why I love fishing, both physically and spiritually.
My name, Deborah, is found in the book of Judges. The Deborah in the Bible sat under a palm tree and helped people with their problems. That’s called life coaching! I love helping women writers get their stories from their heart to their computer to the pages of a book, without confusion, but with a clear plan to engage and impact their readers.
My gifts are teaching, leadership, and wisdom. I love coaching writers because I can use my insight, discernment, and 25 plus years of experience to bring you from frustrated to the finish line. My coaching will help you write your story with a unique twist that is all your own.
I was born on Easter Sunday! Death, burial, and resurrection are foundational to my coaching. To find out what that means to you and the writing of your book, you will have to embark on that journey with me. The difference between a best seller and one that sits on a shelf collecting dust is how your story impacts the hearts of your readers. My coaching will bring inspiration to the writing process that seems dead—even buried in frustration or an overwhelming task at hand, to life springing off the pages of your book that will have an eternal impact on your readers all for the glory of God!
I care about your calling and desire to help you connect the dots to make it happen! Why? I believe that some day Bibles will be scarce. I believe women are searching for their voices to be heard in a noisy world, and many are saying, “Here am I. Send me!” Our governments cannot heal broken hearts but the Lord has called His people to do it. We are the anointed women of God, with a purpose and a calling. Our words may be the ones that give life to the thirsty, or be someone’s bible of survival if we will only step up, arise, and shine! You CAN jump this hurdle as the bride of Christ, and fish for souls using your words combined with His Words, the Living Water. Will you join me?
“Oh yes, Judgement Day is coming!” These are the words of my Master God. “I’ll send a famine through the whole country. It won’t be food or water that’s lacking, but my Word.”
