Thankfully, my teacher’s meeting ended in time for me to say bye to Olivia and her friends as they left for the BETA Convention!!
This refrigerator box is going to be open and used as a replica of Olivia’s school locker during the skit! See the Scripture on the front!! 🙂![]()
One of Olivia’s teachers was even telling me that the students decided that Joshua 1:9 had to be on the locker too…..see the heart in the corner?!?
That was Nick’s favorite verse!
During the skit, they turn the locker around and there is a huge switch on the other side. See Olivia’s initials..O.N.
The slogan for Olivia’s campaign is
“Turn it O.N. for Olivia Nischan!”
One of the boys came up with that idea when they were talking about her being a “light” at school.

I snapped a few photos of some of Olivia’s friends as they were heading to the bus. Evan brought his Bible to read on the way. I love this boy so much! 🙂
Here’s my last view of Olivia and her friend Sarah as they were pulling out…….
I’ll be driving to Louisville tomorrow right after school to watch their performance. I’ll videotape her speech and the skit and share them with you this weekend!!
Thanks for keeping all of these kids in your prayers as they step out to SHINE FOR JESUS at the Kentucky BETA Convention!!!


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
