It’s afternoons like this past Sunday that remind me of “what I live for”…………
Spending time with Kathryn (my friend’s daughter and the newly-crowned Miss Grayson Outstanding Teen) and working on our spring toy drive for Basket of Hope energized me.
Evan came along to help move heavy boxes and even read to us while we resituated supplies in Nick’s Foundation’s storage unit.
Seeing the books reminded me that the bookshelf at KDMC needed to be restocked, so we stopped by the hospital and Kathryn was able to visit with a little guy who was waiting to see the doctor.
Kathryn got the shelf filled with books and we were off to deliver trash cans to various people and churches!
Of course a Basket of Hope day wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the Bush family house!! Kim is my right-hand friend in this ministry (Actually, I think I’m her right-hand friend!). I couldn’t keep Basket of Hope going without her love and support.
Our last stop was our church where we got our container ready to hold toys that will be delivered to kids with life-threatening illnesses. We are partnering with Mike Furrey’s Foundation in this ministry, and I am thankful to have them right here in our area now!
Today, I thought it might be good for all of us to stop and think about what energizes us!
In “The Me I Want to Be,” John Ortberg talks about being “in the flow” when we have discovered that place where God brings our passions and the world’s needs together.
Praying we can all find moments of being “in the flow” today as we Walk with Him on Wednesday,
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!

I’m here from Ann’s Walk With him Wednesday, it take some time to get to read the links from there – I spend the week reading thank you’s – don’t start reading these till the weekend. Glad I got here!!
And we are his hands and feet – we are the salt of the earth – we are the love – WHEN we do this. This is love. God bless you for being involved – fore being love.
Thank you for this. God bless and keep you and all of yours.
