I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
Psalm 119:147
In the hustle and the bustle of this world,
In the midst of wars man cannot stop and illnesses man cannot cure,
With broken hearts and empty arms,
And demands that push us up against unyielding walls,
Rising up and facing it all can often be the biggest challenge.
The opening of our eyes to another day of who-knows-what.
The walking of our feet towards the unknown and often scary.
And yet,
even on the most difficult day,
even when where we go is the last place we want to be or the place that causes us to tremble,
He is there.
He’s in the bad news.
He’s in the hospital room.
He’s in the cemetery.
He’s in the board room.
He’s in the office.
He’s in the classroom.
He’s in the empty house.
He’s in the hectic schedule.
He’s in the unanswered questions.
He is there.
And rising up and crying out is enough to remind you that you don’t face today alone.
Rise up.
Cry out.
Put your hope in Him,
the Living Word.
He is there.
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!
