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,

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...

My Votive Offering: 1st Grade Curriculum

On Sunday my husband was telling about an ancient Hebrew tradition called Votive Offering . Votive offerings "refers to those things that are vowed or dedicated to God...as an expression of reverence or thanksgiving."- Thanks, Orthodoxy Wiki This is my Votive offering or Thank offering: I have been searching for curriculum for a few months now, researching what will be best for my children. I knew I wanted something that followed the principles of Charlotte Mason and Leadership Education . I didn't care much for My Father's World curriculum a year ago when I was searching out a Kindergarten program, but my philosophy of education has changed so much in a year! I had settled on their 1st grade curriculum for Isaiah with just a couple supplements for Moriah. I needed reassurance from the Lord that this was the right curriculum for us so that when we get into the thick of it all I can rest in that assurance. So, I laid a fleece out for the Lord.....
