Red Surprises





These two pictures represent some major answers to prayer in my life right now. The first one is the beautiful red car in the picture above. Ever since I said “Yes!” to God and decided to have another baby, the faith walk has begun. 

Again, we are at a place in our lives where we need another vehicle, but can’t really afford it on paper.  I know God will provide the right vehicle in the right way, His way, different than He’s done it before. 

Bill & Marge showed up with this vehicle on September 25th this year and gave it to us. They said we could sell it and use the money to go towards a new van. God is beginning to answer our prayers! I have faith and will not waiver. “I will put my hope in God!” Psalm 42

The second picture is an answer to prayer that came on Wednesday this week. Last Saturday I was outside sweeping the front porch and I realized that Nate hadn’t bought flowers for our flower pots in a very long time. As I pondered this, I felt like the Holy Spirit showed me that it was a sign of depression. As I continued sweeping, I used the time to pray for Nate & for His spirit to be uplifted, for joy. I also got out my Psalm again and started praying over his Psalm for him in the morning(without him knowing of course). Then, on Wednesday afternoon, he came home with two beautiful Mums. An answer to prayer! I love flowers, but it wasn’t about the flowers. My joy increased at the realization that God was hearing my prayers for my hubby & he answered me in such a concrete way. 

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for being so attentive to my prayers & for the awareness that you are answering & pleased with my requests for others.

Run With Sparkle, 
Heather

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 ....
