Healing

“Heal me, Lord and I will be healed. Save me and I will be saved, for you are the one that I praise.” 
Jeremiah 17:14


     My little Ury boy has struggled with warts for as long as I can remember. I took him to the Dr. last winter and got berated for not bringing him in sooner. He has so many warts that the doctor said it would take months of visits to remove the warts. I didn’t go back after the first wart the doctor “removed” didn’t go away. I tried everything I could find. Every over the counter medicine, every oil, every vitamin. I would try it long enough to see if ANY of the warts would go away, but when none of them did, and more would grow, I’d stop the treatment. I was at my wits end. This past May I was very consistent with Oregano Oil and Lysine for about a month and then stopped because of our busy schedule and summer trips, etc. In August, I had gone to the Poconos to teach at a youth camp, leaving Ury, Zeke, & Elijah with Daddy.  I had been studying the book of James and in 1:5 & 6 James states, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.” I was overcome to really pray for the warts to go away. I asked for forgiveness for not being consistent with putting the treatments on, or for really asking Him for healing sooner and I asked God to give me the answer. Then, the peace that “passes all understanding” (Phil. 4:7) flooded my heart and I knew that Ury was going to be okay.  I didn’t know how God would heal him, but I knew that he would. That was Thursday.  I got home from camp on Saturday and didn’t think to look at Ury’s hands until Monday when I was washing his hands.  his warts were gone. All gone. Not a single wart. He told me that he had counted 36 warts at one point.  He said, “Mommy, when I was hiking with Daddy I washed my hands in the fountain and I realized all of my warts were gone.” God healed Him. There is no other explanation. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Ury now knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is his Father, his provider, & his healer. Amen! 
     What do you need to ask God for today? Believe and don’t doubt! Trust your generous God!

Run with Sparkle,

Your Life Verse

With each of our children we prayed over what we would name them. Nate gave me very specific guidelines for the names of our children- biblical, Hebrew, Old Testament. Yikes! It seemed like such a huge task, but, I believe that God led us to the perfect name for each child. I have asked that the Lord would give me life verses to pray for my kids that go along with each of their names. Isaiah- Jehovah has saved Isaiah 6:6-8- Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”  Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah at PMBC this summer throwing a ratchet Moriah-  God is my teacher, the place where God is worshiped.  “This is what the Lord says: Because you have...

Lola Comes to Visit

Color coordinating girls A close up :) Jaime came to visit, too! Emma's 7th Birthday Party at the Y! Face painting Mom worked hard while she was here! Elijah pondering life at the Discipleship Summit in Wilmot, Ohio Look at that face! Elijah enjoyed Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood while Mommy worked on Venture Kids planning! What a blessing it was to be able to go to the Summit this year!  I tried to get out of it because of all of the sickness at home, but I am so glad God didn't let me.  He met me, even though I spent most of the time out of the sessions and in the room with Eli.   Once again, He reminded me that He is enough...for joyful mothering, sacrifical marriage, victorious living.   His Spirit is in me...what more could I need?  I am Holy because of this fact.   So, I go home in confidence...and with great peace!

His Presence, My Hope...

Joshua 1:3- “I will give you every place you set your foot, as I promised Moses.” Exodus 3:14- “My presence will go with you & I will give you rest.” For 2020, there is one thing that brings such a tremendous amount of hope to me...God is here and His presence goes with me. That is my hope, my security. As I walk into the unknown & so many changes, His promise to never leave me or forsake me (Joshua 1:5) resonates with my heart.   As I walk into the new year, Father, I lift my eyes to see you & trust in you. You have never failed me. You have seen me through many dark winters in my life & I trust in you. You have never failed me, You have always come through at the right time. You know what’s best. I just want to live for You...completely sold out to you! New Year’s Resolutions? I return to my manifesto: Love Jesus. Love family. Love the Church. Love the world. Run with sparkle. Jesus In. Jesus out.  Be thankful always. No complaining. Ever. Seek Out Adventure....
