Encouraging
I've enjoyed the few episodes available of this podcast... discussions of homemaking from a Christian perspective are what I need to hear! Keep up the good work--there are so few good podcasts on this important topic!
such a blessings
This pod cast just started streaming through iTunes, but I have been listening to it for well over three years and it has been SUCH a blessing to me. If you have been wishing and praying for an older woman to come along and mentor you in the Lord, then this podcast is just perfect for you. I feel like I know Donna, lol. The teachings and insite they share have challenged me and helped me grow. I listend to it for a long time before I met my husband, after I got married, and now that I have become a mother and it has been a blessings through every stage.
Thank you
This podcast have helped me so much!
