Donna Otto remembers a very stressful time in her life.

I was involved in too many programs, too many Bible studies, too many, too many's.

And it had robbed me of any fun spirit at home.

And every day, day in and day out, I was too busy getting done, everything that needed to be done so that I could be fun to the outside world and be a drag to my man.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorn.

For July 21st, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

Well, we've been talking this week with a real live mentor, a woman who's not afraid to say I'm an older woman.

She has been faithful to the Lord, and God

has given her the joy of seeing the dysfunctional home background that she came out of

has given her the chance of starting a new family line of building a home that is based on

holy ground, a home for the Lord. Now she's challenging and training younger women about how to do this.

She's written a terrific book called Finding Your Purpose as a Mom,

how to build your home on Holy Ground.

And Donna Otto, thank you for being with us and revive our hearts.

You've been with us before, and we've got in the room today a group of younger moms who are just, we're kind of sitting at your feet and being challenged and blessed

and encouraged. And we've been having fun too.

We have. And you know how to laugh, and that's one of the things I appreciate about you.

And I enjoyed reading in your book the emphasis that you placed in your family and that you think families need a place on this whole thing of enjoyment, rejoicing, having fun.

And I'm thinking we have some listeners and I hear from moms who are very serious and intentional about their families, about doing it right.

But sometimes I read their letters and I think, I'm not sure they're

having any fun doing this.

That's not a good thing, is it?
