Moriah’s Love Language

This week I gave Moriah the online 5 Love Languages Test. Her answers surprised me at first. She was filtering everything through what she would like to hear from her friends and this was the outcome:

But when I told her to add “from Mom and Dad” to each question the outcome changed:

Moriah LOVES giving gifts and receiving gifts. This past Christmas she spent her own money and bought gifts for her Dad & me, her teachers, & friends. She loves to give! How can I bless her without breaking my bank account?

* I can let her choose the dessert to bring home to everyone

* Gum & mints are Moriah’s favorite

* When I see something that she needs, present it to her like a special gift

* Write her notes on her mirror or around her room

Because she feels loved through quality time:

* Sit down and watch a show with her

* Take her to the store with me

* Play a game with her

Father, help me to love Moriah in the way she needs love. You know her inside and out. Thank you that you’re the one leading, guiding, and teaching my beautiful daughter!

A Mama who wants to 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...
