When A Child Speaks, Listen……….
The line was long in Hobby Lobby as Olivia and I waited to make our purchases. Supplies for a new adventure book for her and Luke that we found on the clearance rack. A couple of baby things on sale we just couldn’t pass up for Erich and Mallory. We felt good...
Tripping Toward Holiness
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” I Peter 1:15-16 Holy. Set apart. Consecrated. I picture beautiful stained glass windows and majestic people dressed in white. Perfect. Spotless. Focused...
The Only Way To Really Get Rid of Your Garbage………………..
It’s quiet here……………… except for the sound of the garbage truck stopping in front of our house to pick up our trash. It’s easy to get rid of some of the things we don’t want in our life anymore. Bag them up. Set...
Setting The Mood for Love and Finding Him There
As I walked through the thrift store, this bag of plastic hearts caught my eye……………… Marked down to 50% off, $1.50 seemed like a pretty inexpensive way to set the mood for love. My daughter’s boyfriend was making the journey...
When Your Title’s In A Toy Drawer
Tim dumped the contents of the drawer onto a towel while replacing the old drawer knob with a new one. I followed behind and sorted through what to keep and what to throw away. The toy drawer has been part of our kitchen since the boys were little; but over the years,...

The Cloud With No Voice
“When Moses went up on the mountain, a cloud covered it.” Exodous 24:15 I wonder what was going through Moses’ mind as he climbed Mount Sinai. A sea of people below…….. people he had led into the desert. “Follow me,” he had...
When the Signs Don’t Make Sense, He Still Does
This sign seems a little pointless today. And if I’m really honest, so does the story of Moses and Pharoah as I move through my chronological Bible. Sign after sign, Pharoah missed God’s message. And sometimes I worry that I’m missing His...
It’s Really Not That Nice or Easy…………But It’s Worth It
Those roots. My beautician notices them way before most, and she has a way of gently breaking the news. She also frees me up to take matters into my own hands as often as I need. I head to the store in search of my “true color” when the...
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!
