Raising My Cup Anyway
I sometimes wonder about that line in Psalm 23. “You anoint my head with oil…………………my cup overflows.” What if the overflowing hurts? What if all that pours out over the edges isn’t pretty? Sometimes the cup...
How Disney World and God Worked Together
As we stood in line, I whispered a prayer for the employee who would help us with our tickets. I prayed for me and Tim too, that we would be able to explain our situation without becoming too emotional. Holding onto our lifetime passes for the past twelve years, we...
Learning from the Back Seat isn’t Easy but Sometimes It’s Important
We did a lot of traveling when I was a little girl. Trips from Oklahoma to Pennyslvania. Trips from Pennsylvania to Kentucky. Trips from Kentucky to Oklahoma. My sister and I shared the back seat like two small puppies in a cardboard box. We wrestled for space when we...
When a Feather Speaks
The past two weeks have been anything but normal for our family. My unexpected fall followed by two weeks of intense writing at Morehead State have kept me away from home most of my waking hours. On top of all of this we have juggled Olivia’s coming and going...
Staying Focused
“God is the bull’s eye of life,” Noah said with a grin as we wrapped up the devotion time at archery camp on Saturday. “And the devil is all the white stuff,” another boy quickly added. It was a precious moment. A moment when I saw with...
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!
