1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
Being type A kind of women forces me to work harder. I live by these 3 principles. I call it "The Deborah's Mantel" 1. Consistency, the key to a successful life is to be persistent in everything you do. 2. I do everything as if for the Lord, my work is to be done %100 3. Resting, the worse thing a person can do is become burnt out.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
The Perfect day for me would be to wake up with the rays of sunshine in my window, creating an atmosphere of thanksgiving. With the smell of that dark roast coffee flowing into my room. May I not forget the little footsteps running down the hall right into my room and looking over at the love of my life smiling at me. Beginning my day with a thankful heart usually predicts the perfect day.
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
Elaine Dalton once quoted "if you want to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world." The way I chose to make a difference is through serving the ones around me. Starting from working on an ambulance, serving in heavy boots, serving long hours in 90-degree emergency rooms in third world nations. Finishing off submitting to my husband and serving my two little children. Thinking of others with agape love.
4.What is the most random fact you know?
The most treasured item in my house is my Bible. Though I always need to buy more because the pages start to fall out, but this book is everything to me. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
