As we sat in a circle with the inmates last night in our county jail, I was reminded once again of how much hurt and pain are in this world Tears, regrets, fears, questions, failures. Every negative emotion the devil can stir up moves through the stale air in a jail...
Recently, Tim and I had a big argument. Looking back, I can’t put my finger on the exact cause. It was a series of unfortunate events. (By the way, I’m pretty sure the author of the book series by that same title was inspired by our family.) Anyway, Tim...
We’ve all asked a similar question while shopping, haven’t we? We see something we like and we really want to buy it, but the price tag determines whether or not it goes in our cart or not. How much does it cost? Is it worth the price? Sometimes, in a...
I can’t imagine waking up in enemy territory and placing my feet on the ground in a land where the people are against me. I can’t imagine wearing special protection and carrying a weapon in order to protect myself. Why do I feel as if I would be in a...
No matter what today holds, know that God is holding you. Lean back and rest in this promise. Close your eyes and imagine the Creator of the Universe cradling you in His hands. He feels your pulse. He knows when your heart is breaking. He knows when your heart is...
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!
