In Brian D. McLaren’s book “A Search for What Makes Sense: Finding Faith,” he says, “Where there is absolute certainty, there can be no room for faith.”
I love that sentence!
I don’t know about your life, but my life is full of questions when I look back and when I look forward.
If not for my deep belief in the promise of more than this life, I would spend many days filled with regret, fear, and anxiety.
We’ve had a busy weekend here, and I’m just now able to share about Olivia’s trip to Louisville.
She did such a good job speaking, and the kids all did the skit beautifully!!
I’ll get the videos loaded to Youtube soon, but for now I’ll share pictures.
Olivia did not win state chaplain, however. She was beat by number two on the ballot. A girl whose campaign centered all around Scooby-Doo with very cute costumes and props. I was so proud of Olivia, though, because I felt her campaign was truly about being a light for Jesus and in the end when she learned that she had lost, she said, ‘It wasn’t meant to be. God has other plans.”
I am so thankful that we named Olivia…….Olivia Faith-Pallavi (Pallavi was her given name in India, and it means “new leaves or new beginning”) Olivia’s faith amazes me!
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
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!

She is just so beautiful Tammy!! You’ve done such a great job being her mom.
Love that quote…
Thank God for new beginnings♥
