I’m “surrounded” by people, conversations, relationships.

Yet I still know lonely.

I know this lonely, well, and I have deep and dear friends — the kind who see me weep and I’m not embarrassed afterward, the ones that sign up with me for the battle I’m fighting, the kind who know my repeated sin, my unmentionable pain, the things I’d like to keep secret.

And yet, I still know this lonely.

I’m desperate to be known, to be seen at my very worst and not just acknowledged … but held, surrounded … right there.

What I crave most in my day is the “I am with you” forever and always.

To be known by Jesus.

To be KNOWN by Him.

~ @sarahagertywrites

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

Are you KNOWN by Him?

Happy birthday, dear Cambria!! 💗💗 Twenty-th

Last month as I was pulling out my fall clothes, Emily cleared her voice and said, “Mom, you have waaay too many sweaters.”

It’s kinda true if one believes you CAN have too many sweaters. But, oh, I love all the chunky sweaters, tweeds, plaids, leather boots, and cozy scarves of this season. And, ahem… she was right. I hadn’t worn many items for several years. Some were faded, pilled, out of style, and didn’t fit well. Some things just had to go.

Did you know that the Bible talks about our Christian walk in clothing language? Put off the corrupt things of the old nature (retire the grave clothes, Warren Weirsbe would say!) because you are no longer dead spiritually. You are alive in Christ!

How do we do this?

Sheer willpower?

Nope, because:

▪ On my good days, I’d be tempted towards self-sufficiency or pride, feeling pretty good about my accomplishments. And

▪ On the bad days, when I fall flat on my face, I’d be tempted toward self-loathing or self-pity.

Both extremes have the wrong focus: ME.

What you THINK IS TRUE is far more powerful in aff

What you THINK IS TRUE is far more powerful in affecting how you live your life than the ACTUAL TRUTH.

You are what you think. 🧠

So, what are your answers to these questions:

🔸️ What do you think about sin?
🔸️ Will you always lose against temptation?

What you think about sin matters because what you believe defines who you are and how you live.

Truth #1️⃣ :: You are NOT destined to sin (Rom 6:14)
Truth #2️⃣ :: You are not a VICTIM of your sin (John 8:36)
Truth #3️⃣ :: God will never do for you what He's already given you the strength to do (1 Cor 10:13)
Truth #4️⃣ :: Being tempted is not a sin (Heb 4:15)
Truth #5️⃣ :: A little bit of sin is not okay (1 John 3:9)
Truth #6️⃣ :: You are able to stand against sin (Jude 24)
Truth #7️⃣ :: You are an overcomer (Rom 8:37)

Sin has NO 🚫 power over you. In this moment, you can be in communion with God.

Seek to walk in triumph🏆, in holiness, and in the VICTORY of the cross of Jesus Christ.

This quote was written by my husband, Matt. I'll put the link to his blog called Faithful Man in the bio.

And, I wanted to mention an important project he's been working on - the Freedom Course - where he helps men break free from sexual sin and pornography at freedom-course.com.

So much story behind those dear faces sitting on t

So much story behind those dear faces sitting on the steps. ❤️

Each one has had their own share of heartaches, hurts, and grief, as well as joys and achievements.

Their smiles are genuine, and their relationships are real.

But that doesn’t mean that life has been easy. They know what it is to care for a sister with significant disability and a grandmother with Alzheimer’s. They’ve lost family, friendships, and jobs. They seem so young to have been through so much.😢

I’ve hugged each one tight while they cried, feeling helpless in how to “fix it.” But wishing with all my might that I could. 🤗

But there are many good things too:
🔹They love the Lord
🔹They love and support one another
🔹They don’t give up
🔹They truly care about others
🔹They realize this world is not their home
🔹They want to make a difference in the Kingdom while they’re here.

So this is family – with all life’s trials and blessings mixed in there together.

A lot like your own, I’m sure.

A bunch of beautiful faces sitting on the steps who are loved more deeply than they could ever know. ❤️❤️

(With special thanks to @phyliciamasonheimer for grabbing a camera at the last minute to snap these pics! 🤗)

As moms, we carry the weight of most of the decisi

As moms, we carry the weight of most of the decisions that are made in our homes.

And that can sometimes feel as if we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders.

Your mind is always on overdrive, constantly thinking of what needs to be done in your home, for the kids, for your husband, for work, for other things you feel called to do.

Imagine what it feels like to carry the burden of the choices made by an entire nation.

That’s what God called Ezekiel to do as a watchman for the people of Israel.

The Hebrew word for watchman is 'tsaphah' and it means 'to peer into the distance, observe, look out, behold, to lean forward, wait for, keep the watch.

Why? Well, the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. Therefore – we must keep watch!

This command to 'watch' here is for all of us. This is not just for a pastor, a leader, or some specialized ministry.

To read more of Dr. Tanyi's devotional over at the @Club31Women blog, follow the link in the bio.

We also need to be reminded that this battle is not ours. We play our part, no doubt.

As moms who shoulder a lot of the decisions in our homes, let’s pray, keep watch for our homes and cast our cares on God because it’s not up to us but God.

How are you doing? Are you alert and standing firm?

Forward this to another mom on guard over her home to give her encouragement.
