Small Blessings....And Not So Small Blessings

I post these pictures so that I won’t forget what God has done & continues to do in my life, in the life of our church, & in the life of our family. There are tiny blessings that happen each day & some very huge blessings, too! God is in our midst & He is working. All the time. Here are some reminders...





Ringing the bell for the Salvation Army has become such a special part of Christmas for our family!

Christmas caroling with our church family is something we look forward to every year!

Painting with my little man while listening to Christmas music...I am so thankful for him!

Messy forts & lots of fun playtime & Nerf battles has marked this winter season!


This chair & our ugly couches have threatened to make me frustrated & complains. But, these couches are worn because we spend a lot of time in the family room together, doing school, reading, watching T.V., hosting friends, & having Jesus time. 



I received a surprise text from my brother & he wants to help us pay for a new van! He sent us some money yesterday. God continues to provide. We haven’t found he right one yet, but He will lead & make a way! Bill & Marge’s donation to us, selling our van, & Cam’s donation are just a few reminders that God is parting he Red Sea for us once again! 😀

Running with Sparkle through His provision,
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...

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 ....

A Promise for Another Year

"I will certainly be with you." Exodus 3:12       It was 2 weeks before we were to start homeschooling again and dread overwhelmed me. Why? Because Isaiah didn't want to homeschool. It was painful to think of another year of trying to convince him that this is what we were called to right now, the best thing for our family.  I met with a friend and she told me about a new grant that enables low income families to go to private school. Perfect! Perhaps this was my answer...Isaiah could go to Heartland Christian School. I was sad that this may be God's answer because I would miss the time with him, but wanted the best for the kids. So, I began the application process. I had an unsettling feeling the entire time. When I stopped to hear from the Lord on the issue, I could hear Him saying, "Heather, I've told you to homeschool, given you the curriculum, answered your fears, and you're still not obeying." Ouch! "Okay, Lord, I'll listen, but ...
