5 Unique Christmas Gifts to Grow Your Friend’s Faith

Do not forget the presence of Christ today. He is

Do not forget the presence of Christ today. He is ever near, ever in the Christian - ever with anyone who believes. Christ is with you, Christ goes before you, Christ has you in His hands, and by His Spirit Christ is at work around you and for you.

When we moved into our current apartment the family who lived here before thoughtfully left for us a framed sheet of George Mueller quotes. This hero of the faith has been remembered for his determination to prayerfully trust God to provide every single need as he cared for hundreds of orphans.

I left that sheet of quotes in the corner of the kitchen where they had left it, and it frequently catches my eye.

At the top of it, the first quote says, “I know that worry and I must part forever.” Conviction hits. I know that must be said of myself, because I know the Lord Jesus.

But how did Mueller do such a thing - how did he banish worry everyday with so many little ones under his watch? He says elsewhere in his writings: it is a man’s first duty to be happy in the Lord.

Before tackling his extensive ministry to the needy, he filled his own needy soul with joy in Christ. He delighted in Jesus, loved Jesus, so much so that he found Lord Jesus to be his dearest friend. A friend who would never forsake him and was more real than any other comfort in this world.

2020 has been a year for worry. But may we say farewell to our anxiety each day and instead walk arm in arm with our beloved Christ through His Word and prayer. ❤️🙏🏼

A new Friday tradition - #poetryteatime. Amariah’s eyes light up when I bring out our little tea pot and finger foods, and turn on classical music or instrumental hymns.

She and I feel fancy as we sip lavender tea, munch, and ponder a story or poetic verses. But in case this seems too idyllic, not pictured is Nehemiah being burped and Ezra downing a granola bar. 😂 It doesn’t stay pretty as this picture for long, but I pray such intentional moments build for them a joyful, warm concept of home.

I hope you are able to carve out time to rest and rejoice in the Lord with those you love this weekend!

“And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 8:15

I’ve never done a “Friday introduction” before, mainly because I never imagined or desired my IG account to be more than photos of my kids 😂 But here I am, according to God’s working, hoping to share with you about the infinite goodness of Jesus.

I’ve struggled with Instagram because I don’t want this to be about myself at all - but many new followers may be wondering who is behind the blog called Free Indeed. And even some family and close friends may not know why I started a blog at all.

A few months after my daughter Amariah was born I realized I could reach women beyond the walls of my home by writing during nap time. I had an old website with random (and somewhat comical 😅) musings from high school and college, and decided to transform it into a place where maybe, just maybe, God could hand truth from His Word to sisters around the globe, truth that could set them free from sin and shame.

Fast forward, and He has answered that prayer so wonderfully by enabling Free Indeed blog posts, printable Bible studies, email newsletters, and this IG world. I’m truly amazed how this fledgling ministry has grown by His purpose and grace and with the encouragement and wisdom of my dear husband @isaiasnmunoz. Now we have 3 babies, including our little girl fighting leukemia, and I barely have time to type exhortations to my sweet subscribers once a week. . .

BUT no matter where this blog goes as life keeps changing, I know God is in the lead, and that the verse I based this blog on will always remain beautifully real to anyone who believes:
“So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.” John 8:36

Thank you for walking by faith with me.

Our Nehemiah boy is ☝🏼 month already! We adore his poofy, sandy colored hair and wide-eyed attention when we talk to him. He’s just starting to smile and it melts my heart. He’s a decent sleeper at night and generally calm, but when he does cry he screams. No build up at all 😂

Poor guy has his big sister in his face all day snuggling him and saying baby talk, but as you can see he loves it ☺️ Ezra likes his new brother too but so far just says a quick “hi!” to Nehemiah before running away (hence no brother photo quite yet) or is the first to notify us “he’s cryingggg!” 😁

I didn’t quite get the right angle on his month blanket (swipe to see) but I’ll try better next time!

And they said to me, "The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire."

4 As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
5 And I said, "O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments. . .

O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cupbearer to the king.

Nehemiah 1:3-5,11

In case you’re wondering right now, in case your

In case you’re wondering right now, in case your heart is a little shaky or anxious or weathered by the road you’re on. . . Yes, you can trust Him. His way is perfect.

Accept that truth, believe it with all your being, and your heart will find so much peace. To fight against such truth is futile and leads nowhere but bitterness. But to believe is a balm of hope, because He is true to His Word.

Today is not the end of the story. Today is only a step toward seeing His love, glory, and redemption. It may be far from perfect, but your Lord is not. His good Will will stand, His promises will be here in a blink of an eye compared to eternity.

In the meantime, He is your shield in the midst of the hard, your ever present help in trouble.

Starting “school” with this curly-haired cutie! Praying for a wonder-filled, worshipful year as we explore God’s Word, theology, art, music, nature, and the beginnings of math and reading with @gentle_classical_press ❤️ What a blessing this girlie is, and I thank the Lord we are happy and healthy to learn about Him and His ways 🙌🏼🎗And baby brothers are along for the ride! 😄

I’ve been on a little blogging maternity leave, but this nugget was too gold not to share.

👶🏻 One of the worst AND best parts of the newborn stage is it reminds you just how weak you are. But that’s always a good place to be. You are pushed to remember how much you need Jesus body and soul.

📖 Hebrews 4:15-16 has been bracing my heart during this treasured season of becoming a mommy of 3:

👑 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

👉🏼 Christ is not unfamiliar or uncomfortable with our weakness. He’s been there. . .beyond what we’re experiencing to the point of the cross. And He did not sin. What a Savior we can turn to.

He’s ever ready to give grace. So let us allow our “wants” to take us to His throne. ❤️🙏🏼
