The Lord is working out all things for my good and His glory, with the end purpose, always being to mold me more into the image of Jesus. @mferrell

God’s providence at work in my life should be one of my greatest securities in this life.

Podcast EP 51: Our Mundane Moments Matter

Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Contentment Encouragement Homemaking Motherhood Podcast Titus 2

As believers, it should make us work harder, and we shouldn't desire to escape ... continue reading...
