Welcome to Bread and Water

First things First, this was NOT my idea! For the past 12 years I have been doing a little sharing by the leading of the Holy Spirit on social media. My husband thought it was time I start a BLOG, though I have NO clue what I am doing, funny thing, neither does he. Get ready for lots of humor, life lessons, inspirational thoughts and the Word of God, again by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

A little about who I am. First, I am a child of God, daughter of the One and ONLY Father God. As you can tell, I am rather proud to be His kid. I am a wife, mother, grandmother and now great-grandmother. I live in rural Arkansas yep you guessed it with that hilarious husband of mine and three doodles. For extra circular activities I enjoy 4-wheeling, hiking, reading and most of all spending time with my many grandchildren. I attend as many churches as possible that will have me, and I’m being for real. In all seriousness now, I enjoy many different churches and their mission fields. I have a passion for the broken, unlovely, challenged and the obvious, unsaved. Without going much further into me, I would just like to thank each of you for reading this and giving me the opportunity to speak what the Lord has put on my heart today and the days to come.

God Bless,

Debbie Simmons/Mother of Many

I am a Northerner by birth, a Southerner by choice. I moved from Michigan directly after High School to Texas, I currently live in Arkansas. I am married to the man that changed my whole outlook on relationships, together we share 4 children, 12 grandchildren and recently a great-grandchild, as well as many other children we call our own. I have been raising children all my adult life in one form or another, from my own, to fostering, to teaching at school & church and any that were just in need of a mom. l received salvation when I was 12 years old at vacation Bible school with my grandfather who was a Minister. I didn't find out what a Christian was until I was 33, that's when my life began to change. I have been studying the Word of God ever since, but more importantly I have come to know Him. I never had the daddy/daughter relationship with my earthly father, but I certainly do now with my heavenly Father. I can't even tell you how blessed I am to have come to the understanding of who I am because of what He has done. I know I am a sinner saved by grace and grateful for it. I am not where I want to be, but I also know I'm not where I used to be, Praise be to God! Currently I am retired and by the direction of the Holy Spirit I have been given an assignment to write, with great intention. That He, my Father might be glorified. View all posts by Debbie Simmons
