Every time I watch “extreme” sports, I find myself closing my eyes and peeking through my fingers to see if the athletes land safely…
The thought of seeing them plummet to the ground in pain is just more than I can stand to watch.
But I admire people who are willing to take risks. Live on the edge. Try things that have never been tried before.
They amaze me! They inspire me!!
I want to be a risk-taker for God.
How?
I’m not quite sure yet.
But I want to be bold. I don’t want to be afraid of standing up for what is right. I don’t want to “hide” my Christianity from a hurting world.
And yet I find myself in situations where I hear a little voice almost whispering out loud, “Share Him now,” and I simply move on with the conversation in a very nonreligious way. Not that I’m saying bad things. I’m just not saying GOOD things. Things about Jesus. About hope. About eternity.
I hate walking away from these opportunities and wondering if I’ll ever have a chance to share with that person again.
Lord, give me the strength to take risks for you.
Help me be an EXTREME CHRISTIAN. Yes, sometimes I will fall. But help me get up and try again.
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 
I know exactly how you feel here. There are moments in my life I have chosen not to follow the voice of God. There are also moments I have been bold.
I have made some friends and I have lost some friends all in the name of Christ.
Look at it this way…what’s the worst that could happen? They walk away from you. No, they are walking away from Jesus. So they think you are crazy…yip, crazy for Jesus, right? :0)
