Life's an Adventure, Embrace the Detours!

Welcome to "Life's an Adventure."

Debi Irene Wahl is the mother of three, wife of one, caretaker to a needy black lab and expectant grandmother to be.

Add a couple of sweet sons in law and you get the picture.

A child of God since the age of 9, Debi’s walk with Jesus has been the one constant all her life.

Her life verse is Isaiah 40:31 “They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength…” And so it has been through all the life’s lessons.

With the onslaught of middle age, her singing, acting and writing career has begun to take off. Fortunately her husband, Rodney, is good about leftovers and digging through dirty laundry baskets for socks.

Everyday is a joyful walk with Jesus, whether the day is sunny and full or hope or dark, sad and dreary with hurts. Jesus means all the world to me.

I hope you'll journey along with me. I love hearing from you so don't be shy.
