Vacay Day 4

We woke up to pancakes & eggs. Uncle Jon had made us all breakfast. We had a lot of fun playing with the cousins, the kids enjoyed the workout room (especially the treadmill, which yielded quite a few brush burns on little arms & legs), gave out our Christmas presents, & Nate’s back cracked a few times before getting on the road (the answer to my prayers...he was almost back to 100%). 

Today we arrived in Cape Canaveral, FL and we got to spend time with Lola & Poppy, have dinner, visit the ocean & even swim a little in the pool. This is a beautiful resort and I just keep praising the Lord for the blessing of this trip.

Psalm 22-
I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.*(Hebrew says brothers, which is funny to me!)
I will praise you among your assembled people.
The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the LORD will praise him...
Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.
His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born.       
They will hear about everything he has done.
You are such a good God. No matter what, I will praise You! I will teach my children to praise You! I will tell my children about all of your wonders & Your miracles. You will always take care of us, we eat & are satisfied. I will tell even the baby in my womb about your unfailing love & Your great works. As I wait on You, I will praise You. I trust you more than I ever thought possible. You have grown my faith & caused me to rest in You. 
Now, for this next phase of trust, this stirring in my heart...I surrender to You all of my hopes, dreams, desires, questions, pondering. I rest in You & your unfailing love & goodness.

A Promise for Another Year

"I will certainly be with you." Exodus 3:12       It was 2 weeks before we were to start homeschooling again and dread overwhelmed me. Why? Because Isaiah didn't want to homeschool. It was painful to think of another year of trying to convince him that this is what we were called to right now, the best thing for our family.  I met with a friend and she told me about a new grant that enables low income families to go to private school. Perfect! Perhaps this was my answer...Isaiah could go to Heartland Christian School. I was sad that this may be God's answer because I would miss the time with him, but wanted the best for the kids. So, I began the application process. I had an unsettling feeling the entire time. When I stopped to hear from the Lord on the issue, I could hear Him saying, "Heather, I've told you to homeschool, given you the curriculum, answered your fears, and you're still not obeying." Ouch! "Okay, Lord, I'll listen, but ...

Sitting and Resting...This is How I Fight

Sitting at the feet of Jesus....this is where it all begins.  Today has the potential of a fear-filled day.  But, I have experienced a life, days, moments without fear so, with all that is in me, I am going to fight for fearlessness.  As I sit at the feet of Jesus, He gently whispers His love to me.  And, in that love, the fear is gone.  He's got our backs, He's got my kids, their schooling, their friendships, their choices, the things they see & hear. He's got it all and He cares about it all.  He loves my little family of Doyles even more than I can imagine.  In that truth and promise, I will rest today. A day that threatens fear and failure, yet in His love and power, I will rest.

Praying the Psalms

As the rain  and the snow      come down from heaven, and do not return to it      without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,      so that it yields seed  for the sower  and bread for the eater, 11  so is my word  that goes out from my mouth:       It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire      and achieve the purpose  for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:10-11 Last week with our kids was brutal.  I babysat various numbers of kids everyday, had missionaries in from out of town, took the kids to Bible school, had play dates at the park, and had 4 different nights where we had dinner with families from our church. By the end of the week I was ready to lock our children in their rooms.  They were being mean, not wanting to play together, constantly hurting the other one's feelings, saying things I have never...
