Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and blessing to each other in 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. We're chatting today about

something I think all of us struggle with from time to time. At least I do, and especially as

fellowship. So I also have a special offer just for my listeners. If you use the code G3 Homemaker,

backslash faith. So just the letter G, the number 3M-I-N-org backslash faith. I'm so bad at saying those websites,

sorry. But I'd obviously love to see you there. My husband and I'll be there. It is just such an

encouraging time. So let's dig into today's episode. Because if you're anything like me,
