I just received an email saying that tomorrow on Oprah, Lysa TerKeurst and her family will be special guests as part of Oprah’s show on “fascinating families.”
I met Lysa two years ago when I attended the She Speaks conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. Lysa featured Nick’s story on her blog in July of 2008 and encouraged women across the world to stop by my blog and encourage our family. It was amazing! I received over 100 messages in one day during a time in Nick’s journey when we needed intense love, prayer, and support.
This summer Lysa and I were able to visit while I was at the conference, and I was able to tell her how much her words meant to me! Holly (on left) is Lysa’s assistant, and I was blessed to share a lot of time with her as well.
I’m not normally a big “Oprah watcher,” but I’ll be taping tomorrow’s episode. I just love when God gets a chance to be glorified on national television…and Lysa will do just that, I am sure!
Go, Lysa!
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!
