James 1: 21-22
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
I was at my mom’s for a few days last week with Olivia and had taken my shoes off in the car for a bit when I realized I felt a draft….
I was shocked to look at my foot and realize that my sock was hardly functioning anymore!
I just had to take this picture as we were driving down the highway! (I promise the sock was clean in spite of the “holes!” and I promise I wasn’t the one behind the steering wheel….)
As I think about my spiritual life, I am saddened to say that I often reach points in my life when, like my foot, I discover that I am running on “little to no support!”
When I start to feel the “draft” of doubt, fear, insecurity, and other negative emotions, it is not unusual to discover that my “soul” is not being protected like it should be.
Maybe it’s my prayer life that has weakened.
Maybe it’s my time in the Word.
Maybe it’s just finding time to be still and simply KNOW that He is Lord!
Maybe it’s my actions not matching what I’m learning as I do read the Word.
Whatever it is, I have to make a decision to “get rid” of whatever is holding me back in my walk with Lord and in the confidence that comes from knowing Him as my personal Savior. And then I need to cover myself in His Presence……
My “holey” ness truly can hinder my “holiness.”
Determined to wear new spiritual socks tomorrow so that my walk matches my talk!
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 
Your words tonight were just what I needed to hear. Praying you and I both find our socks tomorrow.
Girl…SERIOUSLY! You amaze me at your ability to bring a lesson, and a GOOD one at that…out of a holy sock! Loved it!
