My passion for the people of India is something I could talk about all day long, so I don’t know why I was so nervous this morning as I drove to Carter Caves to share a little about the Indian culture with area 5th – 8th graders.
Once I arrived and got started I could tell that God took over and brought my thoughts together in some sort of way that I hope made a difference in the life of each child who was listening.
I just want kids to realize how different life is on the other side of the world for so many children. I want them to appreciate what God has given them, and I want them to learn to be thankful………..
We played a couple of fun games using just one sock, and I think the kids were amazed at how much fun they could have……….I really believe that kids are longing to live simpler lives.
India may be far, far away in many ways, but right this minute part of India is cuddling with me and sleeping with her arm across my arm………
Knowing how close this country is to my heart compels me to do more.
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!
