Move On or Stay Put……….
This sign in Washington, DC, reminded me of the pace this world seems to be in most of the time. I think that’s one of the reasons waiting is so difficult. It’s almost as if the “idling” stage is illegal. On the escalators we road to and from...8th Grade Trip, Summertime, and Being Still……..
I took most of my DC pictures on my phone. Carrying my big camera ended up being more trouble than it was worth. For some reason, I can’t seem to find where all of the phone pictures downloaded into my computer’s hard drive, so I think I’m going...Keeping His Word and Keeping Mine……….
I love how Solomon speaks so eloquently in I Kings as he dedicates the new temple that was built under his leadership. I love how he goes back in history and shares about how God had kept His promise to his father David when He said, “I have chosen Jerusalem as...Trying to Find a New Groove………
I love the Disney movie, “The Emperor’s New Groove.” I love the story line. I love the music. I love the humor. But I love the lesson most of all. If you’ve never watched this movie, you should rent it this summer and see what you think. As...Why "thank you" is important………
I have a lot of “thank you” notes to write this summer……. Not because of a party where I received lots of gifts. Not because a group of people came and moved a piano; although a group did come and do that for me several years ago, and I’m...Summer Blogging………
I’m realizing very quickly that my whole schedule has been turned upside down since I don’t have to be out the door at 7 a.m. Mornings are much less structured and it seems that something is always going on around this house. I have decided to transition...God’s Visitors…….
How do you act when you are visiting someone’s home? Extra polite, extra careful, extremely thankful for the hospitality of those you are visiting. This morning I read this verse in Psalm 39, “For I am your guest, a traveler passing through, as my...When You Realize How Special Your Neighbors Are……..
We’ve had the same neighbors on both sides of us for almost nineteen years. Both of these families have shared many highs and many lows with our family throughout these years. They’ve helped when we’ve been in emergency situations, they’ve sat...Old Diaries…….
I moved some boxes around in the shed this morning, trying to make room for school supplies that I want to store for the summer. As I opened one box that has been packed away for a long time, I saw a journal. An old journal. Seventeen years old. I had to stop and sit...
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!
