Something changes when you go into the day with a teachable heart.
Your ears become more important than your mouth.
Your questions search for deeper answers.
Your eyes scan the world for more than the “right there” kind-of sights.
You look deeply into landscapes, situations, souls.
I want to be a lifelong learner –
not just of academic-kind-of things, but of spiritual things.
I love that one of the many words that described Jesus was Teacher.
I love that when I read about His time on this planet – His very brief but life-altering 33 years –
I can learn about how to live, how to love, and how to serve.
Today, I want to be a good student.
I want to sit in the desk of life and soak up all God longs to teach me about His love, about the world, and about myself.
Teach me today, Lord.
This is my Monday prayer.
Help me remember that only when I’m teachable can I become more like You.
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 
Thank you for this! It’s exactly perfect.
