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...

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 ....
