Red Surprises





These two pictures represent some major answers to prayer in my life right now. The first one is the beautiful red car in the picture above. Ever since I said “Yes!” to God and decided to have another baby, the faith walk has begun. 

Again, we are at a place in our lives where we need another vehicle, but can’t really afford it on paper.  I know God will provide the right vehicle in the right way, His way, different than He’s done it before. 

Bill & Marge showed up with this vehicle on September 25th this year and gave it to us. They said we could sell it and use the money to go towards a new van. God is beginning to answer our prayers! I have faith and will not waiver. “I will put my hope in God!” Psalm 42

The second picture is an answer to prayer that came on Wednesday this week. Last Saturday I was outside sweeping the front porch and I realized that Nate hadn’t bought flowers for our flower pots in a very long time. As I pondered this, I felt like the Holy Spirit showed me that it was a sign of depression. As I continued sweeping, I used the time to pray for Nate & for His spirit to be uplifted, for joy. I also got out my Psalm again and started praying over his Psalm for him in the morning(without him knowing of course). Then, on Wednesday afternoon, he came home with two beautiful Mums. An answer to prayer! I love flowers, but it wasn’t about the flowers. My joy increased at the realization that God was hearing my prayers for my hubby & he answered me in such a concrete way. 

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for being so attentive to my prayers & for the awareness that you are answering & pleased with my requests for others.

Run With Sparkle, 
Heather

Happy Birthday

I turned 38 last Friday. What a special day! Nate surprised me with Orange Leaf, my favorite frozen yogurt place, & a trip to Pittsburgh for Moe’s Mexican food, a Pirates game, & fireworks.  I am so thankful for these blessings pictured, but also my amazing friends & family.  I am 23 weeks pregnant today & so very thankful that the Lord has settled this “barren woman as a happy mother of children.” Everyday I am overwhelmed at God’s goodness, how He provides and takes care of me & even chooses to give extra special gifts above and beyond like birthday adventures.   Thank you, Jesus, for these 38 years.  With you in the lead I can truly say that I love getting older! Holy Spirit, with you continually working in me, through me, reminding me, refining me, softening me, & working out your salvation through me, I can say I’m better at 38 than I was at 28. I want to look more like Jesus at 48!

Lent 2020

As the Lenten season approached, I knew I had to face off with what we were going to give up this year as a family. Let me preface this post with this: I have thoroughly been enjoying movies each night as I nursed Levi. It was something I looked forward to & I was getting to the place where I couldn’t imagine life in the nursing a newborn season without those movies.  One night, as I sat on the bed nursing the baby, I told the Lord that I really didn’t want to give up T.V., video games, or movies this year. I enjoyed playing Candy crush & watching movies to take my mind off of how tired I was. I asked God to give me the desire to give it all up. I needed a miracle! Sometime in the next 24 hours I was watching my kids on their devices & watching T.V. and I realized that it was time to regain our focus. To give it up again for the sake of putting it in its rightful place. The Lord actually gave me a longing to give it up, maybe even an excitement for what He would be able to

Praying the Promises Day 2

Right now, my praying isn’t led by tears and great pleading, like it has been in other seasons of life. And, that is okay. The Holy Spirit has to remind me of this. God still hears & is still answering. The Holy Spirit is interceding for me & I will keep claiming the promises for my kids & other people’s children.  Psalm 2:8 says,  “Only ask & I will give you the nations as your inheritance,  the whole earth as your possession!”  Lord, would give to me the children- my children, other people’s children & all of those whom You have placed a burden for on my heart...would you give them to me as my inheritance? When I get to Heaven I want to see them & see the fruit of their labor for You! That is enough, Lord, more than enough! Keep my eyes focused on this inheritance, not wavering from it!  Psalm 3- 1 O LORD, they have so many enemies; so many are against them. 2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue them!”  3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around them; you a
