GOOD NEWS FOR MODERN WOMEN
“The Lord gave the command; a great company of women brought the good news; “The kings of the armies flee—they flee!” She who stays at home divides the spoil.”
Psalm 68:11-12
*evangeline comes from euangelion meaning GOOD NEWS!

the life of abiding
this is part of a letter i wrote to a friend, longing to be led by the Spirit, but struggling through the practical daily life. how do we abide when we have legitimate decisions to make, work to do, children and husband to care for?

hello!
i’m michelle, or “mumsy” as i’m called here at little phlox farm, and this is my discipleship journal. thanks for stopping by!
i have a heart for discipleship of mothers & children, but mostly, for the mothers, as a help & support to you as you disciple your own children, & experience, together, the good news of the kingdom in your own homes!
many of us will never go on the foreign field to disciple the nations, but here in our homes we get to make disciples of our children—proclaiming the gospel of pardon for sin & restored fellowship with the Father through Jesus’ sacrifice (the good news), and righteousness, peace, & joy in the Holy Spirit (the kingdom)!
i hope you find encouragement here as you preach the gospel to your own children. may the Lord work with you to confirm the message by the signs that accompany it (mark 16:20)!
