It’s hard to move on to the next day when the last day was a hard one. It’s hard to take the next step when the last few have been painful. Like a child trying to make it across a hot, sandy beach barefoot and exposed, we must walk gently into the next few...
Johnny’s mom exemplifies a parent whose priorities in life leave her with no regrets in her grief. Her words to me last night in the visitation line were precious, “He was a gift. I have no regrets.” What mom doesn’t want to have those words...
I’ve stumbled over words and thoughts this morning as I’ve moved through my daily routine. Reading in the Old Testament about God’s love for the Israelites and His desire for them to constantly draw near to Him, Then moving on to the book of James...
Everyone in our community can probably remember exactly where they were when they heard the news about the car accident this weekend. I was in my living room talking to one of Olivia’s friends, waiting for her to come downstairs to leave for a friend’s...

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!
