8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
From Isaiah to Philippians the message doesn’t change. God offers perfect peace to those whose minds are fixed on Him and on those whose trust is in Him and Him alone.
So, I learned today (again!) that God can take our weakest daybreaks and turn them into our strongest sunsets! That’s what He did for me today.
I woke up this morning feeling fear, dread, uncertainty, anxiety, and the list goes on and on. After a couple of hours of Bible reading, I decided to lay back down only to find myself having nightmares about Nick’s illness until the minute Olivia woke me up! I had allowed the devil to get a foothold before going to sleep, and he took advantage of the situation by sneaking in and messing with my dreams.
You can imagine how horrible I felt when I got up to get ready for Sunday school. Needless to say, I didn’t even bother wearing my contacts. I knew tears would be coming from time to time, so I decided to be prepared. However, I was amazed at the strength God gave me to keep pressing on all day long.
I made it to Sunday school. I came home with Nick during church. I took Olivia and three of her friends to see a movie this afternoon. Nick had an enjoyable day of watching football with Tim, Evan, and Todd. The Titans are now 10 and 0!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of my early morning fears seemed to fade away as the day progressed.
Thank you for praying for me! Thank you for praying for Nick!
Thank you, Lord, for giving me a peace that transcends my understanding. Thank you for guarding my heart and my mind.
Faithfully Serving Him,
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 
Tammy,
I added Nick’s picture on my sidebar with a link to your page. We are praying every day for him, and for your entire family. To see the results of all the prayers going up for you is amazing.
I continue to pray for Nick and your family as you struggle with the acceptance of God’s will in your lives..
