There are times in life where we have to cling to the goodness of the Lord lest we drown under the waves of sorrow and loss. Our family has recently been in that season as we walked through our second miscarriage. I share the story of our grief, but my prayer is that hope shines brightly through all the darkness. God is always, only good- even when our hearts are breaking. "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

Scriptures Referenced:

Psalm 27:13

Lamentations 3:19-24

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along;

As we continue through our book study of Great Hymns for Growing Hearts, we come to the hymn God Leads Us Along. This is a beautiful hymn that reminds us of truths we learn about our great Shepherd in Psalm 23. Whether we go through the waters, floods, or fire, God promises to lead us. We can find peace and rest in Him through all the seasons life brings.

Being a homemaker and a homeschool mama leaves a woman with quite a bit to juggle. How can we get through academic tasks while also keeping up with the laundry and getting a healthy dinner on the table? I've been asked that question (and similar versions of that question) before, and I get it! I've asked the same thing during different stages of life. 

Join me as I share lessons God has taught me in a busy season of homemaking and homeschooling!

Missionary Jessica Curtis shares about her life serving the Lord in Malawi, Africa. God has had the Curtis family on a unique journey as they've given their lives in service to Him. From Ukraine, to the US, to Africa, they have followed God as He's led them. You will be encouraged to hear how God is working through their ministry and how God has used their time in Africa to remind Jessica to encourage herself in the Lord.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." -Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard

It is no secret that I love books! Reading is a huge part of the atmosphere of our home and our family culture. In this episode, we chat about why it is so important to develop a love for reading in your home. One of the best ways to do this is to collect a home library. I share where to find books worth buying and how to build a home library on a budget.

Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

Jesus Christ is sufficient to be the payment for our sins! Though our sin left a crimson stain, He can wash us white as snow. It is good for us to reflect on the gift we have in salvation. Join me as we discuss truths learned in the hymn, "Jesus Paid It All." May it remind us that we owe our all to Him!
