Agree? Disagree? Anything you’d like to debate (jovially of course).

I love how we are all truly unique!

Thank you @sophiedemuth for the gift of this dollh

Thank you @sophiedemuth for the gift of this dollhouse and also to @juliademuth24 for helping put it together.

I have always wanted a dollhouse, so you can imagine the childlike joy I’ve experienced in painting and decorating it.

I feel like Jesus is regifting me a carefree childhood, except that I’m experiencing it with wisdom. This is what healing feels like.

Is there something lacking from your childhood that may need a reformation? How has Jesus healed those broken parts of you?

A. GPA
B. Scripture reference
C. Distance run

I’ll give you an obvious hint: I’m training for a 5k. And I’m so grateful I exceeded the distance today, and I did it with joy. I’m counting that as a win.

Where I am today.

I am soul tired (lots of pouring out, not a lot of filling back up).

I am searching/seeking about what does a healthy, vibrant Jesus community look like.

I am struggling again with insomnia.

I am grateful for my three amazing adult children.

I am my husband’s cheerleader.

I am discouraged about certain aspects of ministry life and praying for guidance.

I am asking God to show us what’s next, as he seems to be pushing us out of what is comfortable.

I am wondering if my gifts are needed in the body of Christ. (Ever wonder that?)

I am working hard on not being enslaved to food rules and diet culture.

I am oddly grateful for my little black cat, Boo Radley.

I am coming to the end of myself when it comes to certain aspects of control, particularly in my career, my daily lifestyle, and some relationships.

I am grateful for a reconciled relationship.

I am utterly thankful for a longstanding answer to prayer—still astounded, really.

I am constantly decluttering, hoping for less to manage.

I am loving my time in the Bible.

I am humbled to have some amazing, longstanding friends.

I am tired of marketing and PR and platform building.

I am longing for revival in the Christian publishing space, back to really great content created by deep, wise, theologically adept writers.

I am hopeful for the church, though I struggle with iterations of it.

I am still a missionary at heart.

I am one who loves beauty and order in my home.

I am an artist (still hard to say out loud).

Who are you these days? What are you struggling with? What are your victories?

This is one of my paintings from the 2024 calendar

This is one of my paintings from the 2024 calendar available at 50% off (if you order 2) until November 28.

The scripture reads “The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (psalm 9:9). Do you need this reminder today? (I do.)

Stop on over to marydemuth.com/art to see the calendar (every month is a frameable print), scripture cards (great stocking stuffers), stickers (same), and Advent cards to walk through as a family. Every item is buy-one-get-one-free!

This is from one of the talks I give about abusive

This is from one of the talks I give about abusive relationships and environments. (dm me if your group is looking for a speaker!)

If you’ve experienced either, sometimes you become so flummoxed in the midst of that situation that you can’t discern between safe and unsafe people.

Perhaps this little list will help. Safe people are FOR you. They want your growth. They believe your heart is worthy of tenderness and protection.

I pray you find someone like this in your life. And I pray you will BE this for a struggling friend.

Tag a safe friend in the comments to thank them for their kindhearted safety.
