One of the signs that my life has become way too busy is when I begin to “slip” at making entries on my blog!
It’s not that I haven’t been reading and reflecting. It’s just that I find myself doing a lot more “mental” reflecting than written. This frustrates me, because I often lose some of my thoughts somewhere between carpooling, grocery shopping, having company, doing laundry, and cooking dinner!!!
On the other hand, I think that my blog sometimes needs a break from me…..if that makes sense.
I never started blogging so that I would have something to say every day.
So, when I get into those times where I begin to feel “pressured” as if I am going to get a bad grade or something for not posting a new blog entry, then I know I need to pull back and reevaluate the reason I blog.
I blog because I love Jesus and I want to share His love with you.
I blog because it helps me grow closer to God.
I blog because it gives my children, my friends, and maybe even my extended family, a little “insight” into my heart that I may not be able to share in words. My mom said I always sent notes as a little girl instead of “talking” about something that was on my heart. I would leave notes on my mom’s pillow or wherever I thought she would find them when I wasn’t around.
I blog because it helps me heal from my grief in a very personal way.
I blog because it has allowed me to make new friends as well as develop closer relationships with some people I already knew.
But, I don’t ever want to blog just because I think my words mean anything.
My words never will.
His Words are all that matter to me.
So from my heart I just wanted to say that I am thankful for all of you who visit me here and for all of who you are committed to loving and learning from HIS WORDS.
Thank you for loving me even when I am a “slipping blogger!”
Forever Falling for Him,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
DEAREST TAMMY, I LOVE YOUR BLOGS. I CHECK ALMOST EVERYDAY TO SEE IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING NEW. GOING TO YOUR SITE IS LIKE WALKING INTO A CHURCH SERVICE. I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THE JESUS YOU EXEMPLIFY SO WELL. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR HEART, EVEN IN THE GOOD AND THE HEARTACHE. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT A BLESSING YOU ARE TO ME. HAVE A BLESSED DAY. KAREN
I feel the same way about my blog. It’s been 5 days since I’ve posted. I am trying so hard not to make blogging another “scorecard” in my life. I have too many of those already that I am getting rid of, slowly but surely. Thank you Lord.
Tammy,
I too feel guilty because I haven’t responded to your blogs like I use to. I miss you. I have a million excuses why but as I sit and write to you I realize not one of them makes any sense. You have taught me so much! You have given me so much! You have help me in ways that I will NEVER be able to completely understand!! I Love You….Always..Charlotte
i never post until God tell me – sometimes it can be a week and start to think “oh no”…but like you, it’s not why i blog.
i absolutely love how you ended this post. “forever falling for Him”. oh how i want that to be me.
one of the best things about blogging is making friends like you. love ya!!
