A Note From Deb
Hi! I’m Deb, a Sanguine CLASS trained speaker and writer. I serve in ministry with my husband and best friend, Blake, in St. Louis, Missouri. My favorite past times include sharing my love for and joy in the Lord at Retreats, Conferences, and through my writing.
In 1999, Blake and I founded Prayer Ministries International, an internet prayer ministry with more than one hundred fifty pray-ers throughout the world. Visit Pray4You to leave prayer requests and learn more about this ministry.
As a blogging fanatic I write nine posts a week for various sites. Counting My Blessings is my personal blog where I share Bible studies, devotions, and my thoughts on faith, family, and friendships. You can also find me at the HomeGoods Openhouse where we share tips and ideas for decorating on a budget; and at Woman’s Day – WD Happiness Blog where we look at how small changes make a big impact on our happiness.
My first book, Sarah’s Garden, was published in 2008, and encourages girls of all ages to flourish in their God given personalities, gifts, and abilities.
I am blessed to be the mom of three grown children, and I can’t tell you how excited I am about being a “Gram.” Grandkids are the best!!!
Sharing God’s love is my joy! What a blessing to join with all of you here at 5 Minutes for Faith!
See our Disclosure Policy for details.
