Do you ever get to a place in life where you feel a little like you’re near this kind-of sign? I felt guilty even stopping to take the picture!
I’ve been in a long stretch of what I feel like has been a “no parking, stopping, standing…anytime” season.
Partly due to my own desires to see Nick’s foundation get up and running successfully and partly because I’ve sensed the need to keep pressing on in my spite of my grief.
Well, I’ve reached some sort of new place in my journey.
A place where the sign above has been figuratively yanked out of the ground and replaced by a sign more like the one below:
Trying hard to read and obey….
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!

Tammy, I am at a similar crossroads. I know how you feel! Sometimes we aren’t always sure of God’s will for us, it isn’t until we look back that we can see we were on the right path all along. I think as long as we are seeking, we will find! I really love coming here and reading your posts. Prayers for you for this weekend as you venture into unknown territory. That is always scary, but you know who you have on your side, you can’t go wrong. No matter what. Love you Tammy.
Absolutely love that verse….if I was a cross-stitchin’ girl, I’d have it on signs and pillows everywhere! 🙂 Actually a wonderful place to be – will be wonderful to hear from Him in all those quiet moments. I will be praying that this weekend’s conference will just one of those times! Be sure to tell us all about it – I was so inspired and encouraged by my speaking group last year! I pray yours is a blessing as well. Say hello to MaryBeth for me (she probably does not remember me…but that’s okay!)
Have a wonderful time!
