This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Balmay, episode number 18.

Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home.

And now your host from youngwifesguide.com, Jamie Belmay.

Hey, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of my podcast. I am really excited for this week's episode and I cannot wait to dig into it. But first I wanted to say a huge

thank you to everyone who has left a rating or a review on iTunes. It really means so much to me

when you give your honest reviews. And it also helps other homemakers be able to find my

podcast within iTunes when I have more of those reviews. So I just want to give a big shout out,

a big thank you so much to everyone who's left reviews. And I want to give a big shout out, a big thank you so much to everyone who's left reviews.

And I want to give a shout out to the few recent reviews that I've had from Amber Under Construction,

Sparta Mama, New Homemaker, and Theologian Wife.

And just a big thank you to everybody else also who has left reviews.

Those are just my most recent ones. All of those reviews really just make my day. And they

encourage me so much to keep going with all the hard work that goes into this podcast when I read

those reviews. So thank you so much.

And if you've hung around my podcast for a little while, you know that my husband Jason does a ton

of the behinds, behind the scenes work on this podcast. He does all of the editing and the uploading

and he spends a lot of time on the podcast and he always gets so excited whenever

we have a new review and he's usually the first one to tell me that we have a new review on

there and so just thank you so much you're encouraging both of us so much when you leave those

reviews so i just want to say thank you so anyway on to today to today's episode. This episode today is going to be

a little bit unique. I had an episode planned to do today on community. But then I sat down to

start writing it and I just really felt like this message I'm going to share today really just needed to be shared
