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,

Lent 2020

As 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.  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. The Lord actually gave me a longing to give it up, maybe even an excitement for what He would be able...

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...

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...
