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,

Listen Up...

At the Discipleship Summit this year Jesus kept telling me in multiple ways to be a better listener... 1. He was a great listener! Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

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.

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 ....
