This coming Wednesday, Tim and I will be pulling out of Grayson and heading to Rhode Island where I will be speaking at a women’s event that is being held at Northpointe Christian Church…….
This will be our first “real” road trip with no children since our honeymoon..25 years ago…
Mom is coming to spend some much-needed “mamaw-time” with the kids, and I know they will have so much more fun than they would ever have barreling down the interstate in a car for 13 hours……
But it’s still hard to leave them…..
Even when I know they won’t miss us that much at all.
There’s just something about teenagers and their parents being gone that seems to be a good thing from their perspective.
Please whisper a prayer if you think of us.
A prayer for safety as we travel.
A prayer that the trip will be a wonderful memory in our marriage journey. (We are hoping to see the Liberty Bell along the way and take the ferry around the Statue of Liberty……..I’ve never experienced either one! I will take lots of pictures!)
A prayer that our kids will be safe while we are away.
And especially a prayer that the words God gives me to share at the conference will be words He will use to transform lives, revive hearts, and ignite deep, passionate purpose and love in the lives of women I have never even met!
Only God can do all of that!!
Thank you so much.

Love,
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 
I have been on the ferry to the Statue….and I cannot wait to see what GOD will impress upon your heart as you go on this adventure…I loved it….Have a wonderful time!!!!
Oh, Judy, thanks for telling me! It is hard to imagine what it will feel like to see the Statue of Liberty up close, but I am so excited! Love you, neighbor!!
