No Higher Calling

The Lord has given me a passion for motherhood and homemaking. From that passion, a ministry has birthed- No Higher Calling. There is no higher calling on my life than to be wife to Simeon and Mama to my littles. I still have so much to learn, but as I continue to grow, it is my desire to share the truths God is teaching me.

    Hymns for the Heart: God Leads Us Along

    In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along; As we continue through our book study of Great Hymns for Growing Hearts, we come to the hymn God Leads Us Along. This is a beautiful hymn that reminds us of truths we learn about our great Shepherd in Psalm 23. Whether we go through the waters, floods, or fire, God promises to lead us. We can find peace and rest in Him through all the seasons life brings.   Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 23 Daniel 3:17-18 Acts 5:29 Romans 8:28 II Corinthians 2:9   Resources Referenced: Great Hymns for Growing Hearts by Brettnay Brazzell Great Hymns for Growing Hearts Book and CD Bundle New Mercies Music Peaceful Hymns CD Mother's Day Special: Use code MAMA to save 20% at www.nohighercalling.org/shop    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.
