Thank you for a cool breeze on a fall evening walk. The sunset is setting in the sky. :-) Eight-month-old baby strapped to my chest. Your deep faithfulness. Your unconditional love. The joy of watching my kids learn new things and grow into amazing human beings. Lord, I recognize that I struggle to see the miracles in the mundane moments each day. You are the miracle worker. You are worthy of praise. When I am tempted to be discontented, help me to praise. Thank you for your call on our family to the ministry. Would you do something great here in Boardman Ohio with Venture Church? Help me to not quit the race early. I will be content as I praise and I focus on you. This is where I find my joy. It’s in you and You alone.HeatherLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388856300324568088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042759462844861008.post-69682594639785297782020-04-01T20:09:00.001-07:002020-04-01T20:09:45.722-07:00Wonderful Memories<img id="id_fedc_f41_3ea2_525b" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/9kgzfNI6q5FHrc4JAy92ybyDekOLbdWMVUkPFL04quFp5Rf-Mb59ZhAPUcJhyZ0" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px;

Would you give us a Holy “plan” on how to live set apart & not allow the TV & video games to have a detrimental impact on our lives & the lives of our children? You’ve been faithful in the past to give us a plan/ routine to follow in other areas in the life of our family- Jesus time, Bible memory plan, a healthy chore routine, a taking care of Bella the dog routine, an independent school routine, & I’m sure there have been others. Now, I’m realizing that if we don’t have a plan/ healthy boundaries with video games & TV, then it very quickly starts overtaking, infiltrating, influencing our family’s lives. I don’t want to live legalistic, but with grace & I know that You can help me formulate that plan! If it comes from You, it will work & will be life giving, not suffocating! </span>HeatherLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388856300324568088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042759462844861008.post-76448655352152370562020-02-29T06:51:00.000-08:002020-02-29T06:51:18.547-08:00Lent 2020As 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. <div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>The Lord actually gave me a longing to give it up, maybe even an excitement for what He would be able to do in our family if we are not focused on T.V./media. </div><div><br></div><div>Ash Wednesday night I was sitting in Bible study & asked the Lord what I should replace my TV & game time with. I had gotten to where I was watching a lot of movies & playing video games because of nursing the baby. I started thinking about all of the books I should read that are in the shelves in our basement. Parenting books, prayer books, theology books. While all of those would be beneficial I clearly got the sense that they are not the best for me right now. I felt God saying, “It’s all in my Word. Everything you need to know, ask of the answers you need right now.” My goal during Lent is to read through the Bible in 40 days. I need to be bathed in the Word of God. This is the time to do it!</div><div><br></div><div>Run With Sparkle,</div><div>Heather</div>HeatherLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388856300324568088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042759462844861008.post-65694841424042787372020-02-27T08:55:00.000-08:002020-02-27T08:55:35.411-08:00A New Van and A Scavenger Hunt<img id="id_ee2e_c591_ea0_87e0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/aD0Ie8W3jVRNlqvE1UEPpHOEACfVixHvegpC0lFKQrmqm9HgFJsdNbi9TitIhAo" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_c4f6_7ced_6d19_5745" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/sH9OqwhRBkzSouMVxC30U82wOHZ2xoZEo14jHqshA7fbAkIQLzTeiA2GwR-9x5U" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_a181_a00e_37a9_e5ae" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/bloFwzdYRgRHOXBl_QlN_l4DDkFU8h6wTnlktTbgRE5YVGczMYWMCcWwdxjMci4" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_4960_3a08_c32d_6454" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/McMgWF3DH7OPHN5md1Dm3skAODWzV4ieFNay2S3WQUOv-7Xe5kd0LtPAadIVnh8" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_b556_b37d_9347_9bbb" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/1LWBToIJVISS3wWI3tRGLKDnVbnddaJi7gC95_MArFZL6AdbnibOhc4Opp31C-U" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_ca4b_783a_133_efb" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jTF1SpNRLusf93oEqO-TIpSkSnNsZNSixTRSD3XZUH-Nh71jpfV0FuqHLIPoN1M" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_cd33_de67_31ae_d1ec" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UQKQed8vYcky-pX1zcgkILZbgSO1Cr9BGYEbpL5pk2VCePIYV-pRA9SUZvcefJQ" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_c929_c766_67fe_93b1" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/HO_IrLYEsFxquqzzoU4m8pp61x841XSxiScTS2cC_47x8yUzaPlkQgIYMQF8KPA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_8b97_5b24_3dd4_badc" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/4s_JtR2__m2z8qTY5LkuCvcmTxH1FgW9CjOze8XvsLFR7JX4xmbzopIyjQ6wZ-Q" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_e433_8427_daac_88f3" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UVxXztfEDsj5KZwV7efQPzRkNHS2z1wEysBydcKZFasHuc_Kt40ix1NO_8qkIwY" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br> <div><img id="id_f4ba_32eb_252_38a5" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/3ELx-Kfo_-SsBdDSgkFwJnRrAYJRezdbfiang7HzCq7NQuGVWvYmBjsF81nOpwI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br><img id="id_25df_2f4a_dd35_ef81" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/CRVB1LqT4ml-GtK5ESIivhISjR_e0r8Boti-lcQPhkiunauFFibfW82MxC45Tyc" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%;"><br><br>Run With Sparkle, Heather<br><br></div>HeatherLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388856300324568088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042759462844861008.post-23523051410541084542020-02-16T06:23:00.001-08:002020-02-16T06:23:25.425-08:003 Weeks Old<img id="id_63e7_5430_f4b1_8701" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/eKUaE1hMGdk-gu4fXVrGfO-6viGGqp66vZddFuyHIogH8ia3aHS9Ko8-8E4YeIM" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_80d6_aaa6_ecf4_e97f" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/JQZWxwaOO4TrJ2IBD9o5DsY5IvrgE6Odo5bjQ1lyIKECYXE8co4ozZtur39Auio" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_ee5d_b64f_cd97_fffb" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/yDe8AiVQZBl2-L4VKiBCkVOM3pNmJtaniFmVtrYNTUP7Qxyd53uJimj8eWWxg2I" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_f1a6_bf1c_b7a0_6a66" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/cO4HLYmRBlsbL-1Ndaw3BEli-WsvxvmNueqvCDdJqW-3ILB_hPUymYs96JMjM9k" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_eb05_8727_c3bb_91b8" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/T7pjSPut_SgUnY89CCYuiAQv7r4jIfcKWcCOHxWbqrLY6s_Aisnzoc7ni8uH5TA" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><br> HeatherLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388856300324568088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042759462844861008.post-33309389594889094772020-02-13T12:44:00.001-08:002020-02-13T12:44:23.006-08:00Moriah’s Love Language<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">This week I gave Moriah the online 5 Love Languages Test.

Even though this is number 6, I don’t quite feel prepared to leave the hospital and venture home. But, here are some truths that go before me that I will remember when I start to feel a little dark:<div><br></div><div>1. Look up- see the One who loves you beyond measure AND is able to give you the strength to move forward...and live victoriously!</div><div><br></div><div>2. Run With Sparkle....Backwards- move backwards, step by step, into the future, your hand in your Father’s hand. But, don’t move each morning without meeting with Him somehow. Reading His Word to you, Listening to His gentle whisper, surrendering the day to the One who knows what’s about to happen, remembering that He’s never forsaken you, in fact He causes you to run with sparkle because of His provision and love for you!</div><div><br></div><div>3. One day at a time- manna for today. Do not worry what tomorrow looks like. Jesus is enough for the unknowns tomorrow and He’ll prepare you today! Don’t focus on tomorrow, focus on how He’s provided in the past!</div><div><br></div><div>4. Your house will get cleaned up in minutes, no matter how dirty & disorganized it is. You have 5 wonderful helpers at home and they are willing to help, in fact, it’s good for them to help! </div><div><br></div><div>5. Enjoy your kids. Be present in the moment & love on them, focus on their strengths & tell them what you see in them.</div><div><br></div><div>6. No Mom guilt- you are the mother that God has chosen for these kids. You. Are. The. Best. Mom...For. Them. You have been hand chosen. So, in spite of your mess ups, God will see them through, teach them, reveal Himself to them. Do not lay in bed at night and feel guilty about anything. Just praise Jesus that He is enough for your children and He is able to cover your mistakes.</div><div><br></div><div>7.

Rest in the truth that God knows exactly when this baby needs to come and will make it clear when I need to go to the hospital. Knowing that I have the Group B Strep virus makes it a little tricky because I have to go in four hours before giving birth so that I can have the antibiotics. But, God knows this! He will lead, my only job is to listen to Him!<div><br></div><div>I read in Dr. Kinlaw’s devotional this morning that the Hebrews’ idea of the future was that it was behind them. They walked backwards into the future. Walking into the future with a remembrance of the past. Remembering God’s provision along the way. I want to live like that! That is my word for the year. BACKWARDS. Such a funny word, but it says exactly how I want to live. My hand in God’s, with my eyes on him, not on the future, but how He’s taken care of me in the past! There are so many things I can point to as I ponder the provision of God. As I wait for baby and this next season to begin, I will wait with my eyes on the past, praising the One who has never failed me and has promised to never fail me! I am grateful for your provision, Father. </div><div><div><br></div><div>1. The provision of the Van money, the gift card shower</div><div><br></div><div>2.
