Life is Hard, But God is Good...

After 15 years of saying goodbye, one would think it would get easier. I am so very thankful for this time with my parents and the adventures we have had together these last 9 days. I’m so thankful for amazing parents & an amazing family. But, the saying goodbye? It’s really not fun. But, I will press on and be faithful to the call that Jesus has placed on my life. Look forward with joy & thanksgiving. Without regret.

Thank you, Jesus, for the blessing of family....

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 ...

A Dwelling Place

This morning I woke up to a sick baby boy. After sending Isaiah and Moriah to Sunday School, I sat down to hear from the Lord until the Radiate Service started. Consumed by the thought that we may all be sick for Christmas, I looked up "no more sickness" in my online concordance. What came up was a message of hope for me and I pray it brings you hope as well ... Revelation 21:3-8- And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them , and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them , and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Exodus 25:8 "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them . Exodus 29:45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God ....

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.
