When Children Speak
If there’s one thing I would do over as a mom (and there’s more like a hundred things), it would be writing down more of the cute things my kids said over the years. From time to time, people share memories of things they did or said (some sweet –...When Wounds Are Deep
Yesterday morning as I was opening a new bottle of coffee creamer, I decided it would be easier to push in the metal protective seal rather than peeling it off (this was not a great decision). As I pushed the metal to the edges, it became a weapon and my finger became...Monday Morning Perspective
Yesterday as I was thinking about what I might write about this morning on my blog, I kept thinking about the fact that many of us would be going back to work after a holiday break with our family. I wondered if many of us would be struggling with the early-morning...What Grief Can’t Do
Grief. We feel it when we lose someone we love, when we’re betrayed by someone we trust, or when life is turned upside down by circumstances out of our own control. Grief hurts. Grief changes us. There’s many other things grief can do. Grief can...Embracing Today
It’s Thanksgiving Day 2013.I’m sitting on the floor in my childhood bedroom and lots of memories are dancing in my mind. I rearranged this room probably 100 times as I grew up. I loved turning on music, cleaning every corner of this room,moving my bed and...A Pre-Thanksgiving Confession
One of our cars broke down half an hour from home last night. Tim has to venture there today to figure out what’s wrong. My hair color dripped onto one of my most favorite t-shirts. (I knew I should have changed before starting this monthly project!) A...If Life Were a Stage
Holding their scripts, the row of second graders prepared for their reader’s theater performance. One girl, unable to contain her excitement, periodically hopped in place as she grinned ear to ear. After a short discussion about using strong speaking volume...What If Today Is the Day?
Monday mornings can seem anything but exciting. Weekend events often leave us feeling a little tired, and sometimes the thought of another week of same old “same old” just isn’t enough to kick us into high gear. But……. What if today...Our Home and My Christmas Prayer
Tim and I decided to have a technology-free evening, order dinner out, turn on Christmas music, and dive into our attic in search of Christmas treasures. Five hours later, we sat down. We still have wreaths to hang outside and ornaments to add to trees, but I wanted...
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!
