Simple Steps in Stocking a Natural Medicine Cabinet

by Marci Ferrell
Natural Living

  In the Midwest, winter has arrived and with it always seems to come cold and flu season.  This year I am better equipped to handle the common cold and flu with natural alternatives to aid our body's own immune system in healing.  Just a few years ago my way of dealing with a cold usually was a trip to the local drugstore to stock up on over-the-counter remedies. I am not an expert but have enjoyed casually learning more about the benefits of natural remedies using items such ... continue reading...


How I Got Over a Cold in Two Days

by Marci Ferrell
Natural Living

    Yep, I'm serious - two days.  My colds usually linger forever - well okay, maybe a week but it feels like forever.  This time I was determined to be consistent in helping my body's immune system to kick in and fight this cold off asap.  Most times when I'm sick I get lazy and tired and don't keep up with my supplements and healthy eating so the illness lingers. I determined what would be to my benefit and to make sure I was taking regularly throughout the ... continue reading...


Getting Controversial – Vaccines, Real Food, Choices with Your Children and The Gospel

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Motherhood Natural Living

I'm not normally a controversial blogger but I'm stepping out for a moment and getting bold—sorta.   I'm writing to express my frustration that I see so many times in our Christian circles of mommies who get all fired up over whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate.  Debates over how we should be feeding our families.  The cloth versus paper diaper debate is another one and how about sharing online that you actually ate a meal at McDonald's —horrid—just horrid! What boggles my mind is how ... continue reading...

If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we m If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we must look first at the Cross, where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God’s love for us.⁣
~ Jerry Bridges
Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly deli Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly delighted in the law of the Lord and meditated on it day and night. Jesus is like the tree planted by streams of water. His life was abundantly fruitful, and all that He did, He prospered. His life, death, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of sinners—all those who can’t live up to the demands of Psalm 1 but put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.⁣

Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied several of the Psalms together. My Psalm to share a message and put together some study questions was Psalm 1, and I wanted to share my time from that study with you today. ⁣
⁣
Psalm 1 is one I memorized years ago, and I thought I was pretty familiar with it until I studied through it. So I hope when you listen to the podcast below or read the post, it will open up Psalm 1 to you a bit more. ⁣
⁣
I’m including in the links a PDF download of the study questions I shared with my ladies group if you’d like to do a mini-study on Psalm 1 in your own time.⁣

Treating your husband with respect is not somethin Treating your husband with respect is not something that your husband must first earn; it is something that you choose to show him.  It is an underlying heart’s attitude that is to be prevalent regardless of your circumstances and in spite of your feelings. ⁣
⁣
How respectful are you to your husband?  The way you talk to him? About him? We’re going to tear apart Ephesians 5:33, in which we as wives are not suggested to but commanded to show respect to our husbands whether or not we feel he deserves it.⁣
