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,

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 ....
