Comforting Verses When Life is Overwhelming
Sometimes just taking a minute to read some of God’s promises can change everything about your day. Psalms 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit...Grief and the Changing of the Seasons
For years the melting of snow followed by the sounds of early-morning birds chirping and blossoms on flowers sent me spiraling into deep sadness. The transformation in nature from winter to spring flooded my heart with memories of Adrienne’s short little life. ...When Life Becomes a Junk Drawer
Do you ever feel stuck? Like a drawer crammed too full of junk, it’s easy to feel as if much of your potential is in hiding. I can remember dumping my mom’s junk drawer out from time to time as a young girl and organizing the rubber bands, paper clips, and...A Place to Take Your Righteous Anger
For the most part, I’m not an easily-angered person. I don’t have episodes of road rage. Slamming doors and screaming at a people isn’t part of my daily life. I don’t keep a list of people who I refuse to talk to because of past events...You Can Do It!
It’s amazing how defeated we can feel in this world if we keep our eyes on an earthly horizon. Job expectations. Relationships with friends. Family dynamics. No matter where we turn, we can let someone down and find ourselves coming up short over and over...When You Need Answers

No matter how many times I begin to type, backspace and delete, and begin again this morning, I just can’t seem to start this Monday with words. Sometimes when I find myself wordless, it’s better just to admit it and move on to something else like...When You Finally Grasp the Meaning of Love
Olivia makes fun of me in the car because every time a new song comes on the radio I say, “Oh, I love this song!” She says, “Mom, you love every song.” Well, she’s kind-of right. Songs inspire me. They make me stronger. They help...Where Social Media Falls Short

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!
