Podcast EP 72: One Thing is Necessary

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Encouragement Homemaking Hospitality Podcast Titus 2

When we lose sight of our Savior amid our ordinary tasks, we are missing out on the good portion @mferrell

  My husband and I have been reading through Sinclair Ferguson's devotional, To Seek and To Save: Daily Reflections on the Road to the Cross. One of the past readings was quite convicting because it reflects much of my Martha personality. I desire to get things done, get them done right, and in the process find myself overwhelmed, agitated and forgetting "one thing" is necessary. Let me set the scene quickly here: We are all familiar with the Mary/Martha moment in Luke 10. Mary is ... continue reading...

Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Contentment Encouragement Homemaking Hospitality Loving Our Children Loving Our Husbands Motherhood

God is my king and I should be ready to do whatever portion He has assigned for me at any given moment with a joyful heart. @mferrell

I don't like to be interrupted. My heart is not always ready to do what God has appointed for me at the moment. I seem to forget that God appoints my portion.
