Hey moms. Welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Durenda, wife to one,

0:21.4

The Unhurried Homestchooler, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart, the four-hour school day, and my most

0:33.2

you to do that. I am just getting such great responses from moms who are feeling so much more

1:50.6

prayer at the end of this episode to hear about an opportunity you will not want to miss.
