Can Anyone Relate?????????????
What happened to the days of “Leave it to Beaver?” I’m sure there were things that caused stress back then, but the thought of me in an apron with a great meal prepared for my family who then happily sits around the table sharing about their day at...Thoughts on giving……
We started a new college-aged life group this year after taking a couple years off while Nick was sick, so we decided to bring back our traditional Christmas gift exchange where everyone brought something that they didn’t want anymore to “give away”...Why Can’t It Be This Obvious???
I Peter 5:7-10Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers...It Was Only Five Red Balloons but it Was Enough…
I stood in the line to check out at Wal Mart Saturday after wandering aimlessly through the Christmas section for way too long. It’s been hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year, but I’m trying… In my cart I ended up with two large containers...Please pray for Brandon…
I belong to an online support group for parents with children who are fighting ependymomas (the kind of brain tumors Nick fought for 6 1/2 years).

Well, I can’t pretend that the last few days have been easy. I have had so many tears and the loss of Nick has sunk in to a much deeper and more painful reality in my heart. Thank you for every email note, every card, every phone call,and every prayer. But, I...All I Can Say This Morning….
We packed our weekend full of activities, forcing ourselves to do the “normal” things like putting up our tree, hanging Christmas lights, and even putting stockings on the mantle which I dreaded most of all. I have much to write about from the weekend, but...Not-So-Black Friday……….
Today did start pretty “black”………..the sky anyway…… But Mom, Evan, Maria, Todd, and I felt anything but darkness. We had awoken at 3:30 a.m. and almost immediately heard the sound of mom’s wind chimes ringing loudly on...Happy Thanksgiving!
I haven’t read this book (If You Give a Pig a Party) that is waiting for Olivia under mom’s Christmas tree….. I’ll read it with Olivia when she wakes up. (Olivia loves pigs!!) But it does make me think about some other...
Meet Tammy
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!
