Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and blessing to each other and the role God has called us to as women.

I'm so thankful you've stopped by.

So grab yourself a coffee or tea and sit with me a bit as we talk about how God's

word impacts every area of our lives as Christian women. Hello, friend. I'm Marcy Farrell

from Thankful Homemaker, and I'm so glad to be with you today. Today's episode, it's a special

some for just a season, but all have encouraged me deeply. And I'm so thankful for their willingness

to share these glimpses and to their walk with the Lord. I've asked each one to just share a short

bio so we can have a little bit of context for their season of life and just a few

sentences. Some of them get me a few longer sentences describing how they spend time in the word.

So I'm just going to dig in. We're going to hear from these sweet sisters and we're going to glean

from their real life practices and wisdom. So I'm going to start with my friend Timmy. So Timmy is single. She's in
