“God is the bull’s eye of life,” Noah said with a grin as we wrapped up the devotion time at archery camp on Saturday.
“And the devil is all the white stuff,” another boy quickly added.
It was a precious moment.
A moment when I saw with fresh eyes just how easily kids “get it.”
Why do adults make God’s plan so complicated?
Why do we add “what ifs” and “whys” to His very simple plan?
Focus.
Shoot straight.
Watch your form.
Keep Him the main thing.
Your center.
It’s so easy to get distracted by the “white stuff” of life,
but there’s nothing more freeing than regaining a view of life that is totally focused on Him.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,
let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
fixing our eyes on Jesus,
the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
I’m praying for a focused day today.
Love you all!
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!
