Co-founder at Help Club for Moms
My name is Deb Weakly and I helped create the Help Club for Moms with one goal in mind: to create a community in which moms help moms to know the love of Christ. My own childhood was difficult and filled with sadness. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, so when I became a Christian (and soon after, a mom), I had no idea what I was doing; I didn’t know what it meant to raise Christ-centered kids, but I so desperately wanted to learn.
I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.
If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!
Randy and I have been married for 33 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar, and Piper. Yay!

Thanks for sharing Deb. Pray for my children and me. I am a single mother with a 26 year old son Melrick Poindexter and a 6 year old daughter Aria Wilkins and I am 46. Yes Melrick went to college and I had a baby. Aria was 4 years old and sexually assaulted by my 38 year old cousin while I was caring for his mother who was my aunt/mother. It has really taken a toll on my mental health and my Aria. She is having so many issues in school however she is very smart and gifted. Thanks in advance for your prayers!! My name is Teresa Poindexter and my profession is a Clinical Counselor so I am faced with this horrendous act of violence almost daily in my work life with my clients. I know God has a plan and purpose in my life for sexual assault however I have not figured it out. My cousin has not been charged and I just want JUSTICE for ARIA!!
Dearest Teresa, I am so sorry to hear about this horrible tragedy. I am praying for you and your family right now and I am sending your request to the prayer team. YOu are not alone; God is with you, and will fight for you.
“You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.’” 2 Chronicles 20:17
I am praying for you. I am so glad you are here.
With much love,
Mama Deb
