One of our cars broke down half an hour from home last night.
Tim has to venture there today to figure out what’s wrong.
My hair color dripped onto one of my most favorite t-shirts.
(I knew I should have changed before starting this monthly project!)
A toilet overflowed upstairs at our house this morning……
AND
I’m in a kind-of cranky mood!
There’s something about confessing everything that’s on my mind that frees me up to face the ugly parts of “real life,”
so I decided that before I tried to move on with all of the day-before-Thanksgiving “setbacks” in our home, I would take a minute to get my ugly out.
So here it is.
And I feel better.
You might be having a fabulous day!
I hope so!!
But if your day is a little less than great,
just know you’re not alone!!
Praying your Thanksgiving is full of special memories,
cars that work,
hair color that doesn’t drip,
and toilets that flush properly!
I love you all so much!!!


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!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Tammy!
