For those new to following, here are some random f For those new to following, here are some random facts about me:

I hate coffee. Blech. 

My 47th book releases this fall about reading the Bible in 90 days. 

I have three amazing adult kids, @sophiedemuth @aidandemuth & @juliademuth24 

I have (barely) climbed one fourteener. 

I overthink (ruminate) when a relationship breaks. 

I love Jesus. 

I have dreamed of opening a bakery!

I love vegetable gardening. 

I am a literary agent of 35 authors. 

I have a girl cat named Boo Radley. 

I wanted to be a singer when I grew up. (I did lead worship when we lived in France). 

I speak French-ish. 

Despite the carbs, I still really love spaghetti. 

I’ve done sprint triathlons and a half marathon (all were hard, and I was happy just to finish). 

I love to pray for others. 

I am a survivor of much, including sexual abuse, neglect, trauma, parental death, and too much to articulate. 

I make a lot of mistakes. 

I watch true crime because for whatever odd reason, I am trying to figure out the mind of my deceased father. I still haven’t had an Aha about him, though. 

Relational wounds are so hard for me to get over. 

I’m growing disillusioned about the mega church model. 

I have never taken an art class. 

I am happily married to Patrick for 32.5 years. 

I keep watching Hillsong documentaries, and I keep getting angry on behalf of the broken. 

I’m 56 years old. 

I love to preach. 

Raspberries off the vine delight me. 

I wonder if I am making a kingdom impact. I think about this often. 

I don’t like conflict, and I default to fawning (apologizing even when I didn’t do anything wrong) to keep the peace. I’ve lately learned this is a common trauma response.

I enjoy cooking for others. 

I am humbled you’ve read this weird list, and I am so grateful for you.
“Should I write that person a letter?” I aske “Should I write that person a letter?” I asked my husband.

“Why?”

“I feel bad that we are estranged. Maybe there was something else I could do.”

“You’ve done all you could,” he said. “They are unsafe. Do you really want to open yourself back up to someone who doesn’t really like you?”

He was right, of course. 

I used to measure the efficacy of my forgiveness with whether or not reconciliation happened. That made me do all sorts of emotional gymnastics, even apologizing for things I didn’t do just so there’d be “reconciliation.” Except that when I did that, I became more doormat than friend.

There are some irreconcilable relationships—even if you’ve done the hard work of forgiveness. If the other person places 100% of the blame on you, never owns what they said or did, and acted harmfully (consistently) toward you, if they continue to harm others without remorse, if they demonize you, if they relentlessly judge or demean you, it’s simply not wise to enter back in.

Choose to forgive, but in that forgiveness, don’t turn off your discernment or wisdom.

If in doubt, ask a very close friend what you should do. They see the situation more clearly, like my husband did for me.

When you choose forgiveness, you simply open the door for the possibility of reconciliation, but it is never a guarantee.
One of the practices that has kept me sane on @twi One of the practices that has kept me sane on @twitter is to spend a few minutes each month praising people for who they are and what they bring to the world. Because we can get so caught up in building a platform, we forget to acknowledge the contributions of others.

When you’re constantly asking others to look at me, you forget to serve those who may need some specific encouragement.

Today I feel prompted to write about my friend @triciagoyer . 

We have been friends many, many years, so many that we both can’t figure out exactly where we met. But we are so glad we did.

What I love about Tricia: she is productive (as am I). I feel less alone when I’m around her because of this. She is gifted, and she uses her gifts to the uttermost!

She is a beautiful human being with a great big heart. She loves her family and friends LARGE. She is pro-them. She seeks ways to encourage the people in her life.

She is real. She doesn’t gloss over pain in her life. Even recently we had a frank conversation about a difficulty in her life. Her own honesty in that space so encouraged me that I sent her a message thanking her for her vulnerability. It made me feel less alone.

She serves. She considers it a privilege to do so.

She writes and speaks to bring life change. 

She has been re-storied and restored, and she longs to see the same in you.

If you don’t follow her already, do so, and be treated to her beautiful heart and sage Jesus-wisdom. She is a woman of valor and character.
Weary? Tired of the grind of life? Broken by sin ( Weary? Tired of the grind of life? Broken by sin (yours or another’s)? Need soul rest? 

Mind if I pray for you today? 

May this prayer wash over you, bringing peace, release, and restoration. 

You are loved. You are held. You are sacrificed for. You are wanted. You are healing. You are noticed. 

Rest there, friend.
So excited to share that I have two stickers in th So excited to share that I have two stickers in the shop!

Sticker one is a painting I created for a client, and I liked it so much, I decided to make it into a sticker. Another patron here asked specifically that this print be made into a decal, so here you go! (This will also become an 8x8 print soon). 

These stickers  are 3.5 inches in diameter, vinyl, waterproof, dishwasher safe, fade resistant, UV protected, and heat & cold resistant. 

Place your sticker on a water bottle, your laptop, a folder--whatever you'd like! 

The Scripture is Psalm 126:4-6. 

New Living Translation
4 Restore our fortunes, Lord,
as streams renew the desert.
5 Those who plant in tears
will harvest with shouts of joy.
6 They weep as they go to plant their seed,
but they sing as they return with the harvest.

I'm so happy with how vibrant these turned out!

Sticker two is 3 inches by 4 inches vinyl, waterproof, dishwasher safe, fade resistant, UV protected, and heat & cold resistant. 

The Scripture is Isaiah 43:10

New Living Translation
For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

You can get these at marydemuth.Com/art. I hope they brighten your day, friend!
I thought of this truth this morning. It’s ver I thought of this truth this morning. 

It’s very difficult to edit unwritten words. 

It’s easy to overthink before you act, which can lead to paralysis and fear. 

But when you do act, you have something to move on from. 

You can edit what’s been done, but you cannot edit what’s not been done.

What is holding you back from taking the next step in your life? 

Don’t let fear prevent you from writing and living your story. 

It’s impossible to edit an unwritten story. 

So live boldly. Trust the Lord in the process, even if you’re freaked out. You can adjust as you go. 

Sometimes we overthink so much that we never, ever live. And some writers overthink so they never, ever write.
