Lamentations 3:22-24 (New International Version)
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
It happened gradually.
As we drove from Grayson to Columbus.
The darkness gave way to sunlight.
The clouds gave way to the powerful rays.
And once again I knew.
God never fails.
Darkness never ends in darkness.
It is always followed by light.
The darkest of nights need not be seen as a sign of hopelessness.
For morning comes..just like God’s faithfulness.
So I trust Him and I wait.
Knowing He has the power to transform all aspects of darkness that surround me.
And as I look at these photographs tonight I am reminded of today’s headlines.
The lives of two American legends have ended.
Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson have passed away.
This life is fragile even for the wealthiest, most famous, most successful of people.
The only thing that is 100% certain is God’s faithfulness.
He is as faithful as the daily rising of the sun.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing creation to display Your most-needed quality…Your Faithfulness.
Praying for the hurting families and friends this evening.
Praying they are somehow drawn near to Him who is faithful,
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!

Sweet Tammy,
I am thinking of you this evening. Praying you are covered in His love and grace. Praying you are seeing a glimmer of light in your dark days. And I’m thanking the dear Lord once again that He brought our lives together last summer at such an important time.
I love you so, so much dear friend.
Yes, life is fragile – and death comes to all of us…no matter who we are. The difference is eternity – the life we live forever after this one….that is “the real deal!” I am so thankful this morning for the assurance of my salvation, of Heaven and those I love waiting there for me (and cheering me along until I get there), and knowing that when death does come – I will be ushered into eternity with Christ.
I am always mindful of these things when public figures die…the media is SO focused on their lives/accomplishments/etc here – when all of that has nothing to do with their eternity.
Oh goodness, I got carried away!! I just love your posts…they so speak to my heart and encourage me (and even get me to preachin’) 🙂 Love ya,
Jennifer
I am with you, dear friend!!!!!
I see the tributes on TV to all the accomplishments of their lives and I wonder if they were doing anything to prepare for the “real life.” I hope so. I hope deep down they had searched and found Him……
Thankful that we do not have to “grieve like those who have no hope.”
Love you!
