Ephesians 1:4
For he chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless……….
I found myself feeling very anxious last night about the first day of school today.
I struggle with balancing work and home.
I always have.
I am a stay-at-home mom at heart, so stretching myself into a career has been difficult.
So what do I do this morning as I find myself with my hair in a towel, dress clothes on, puppies at my feet, and students waiting for me?
I remember.
I remember that in the big scheme of life this is just a passing moment.
I remember that above, around me, and in me there is a power working that sustains, equips, empowers, protects, and comforts me.
I remember that before the world began God chose me.
He chose you too.
He loves us!
So today, as I begin a new job in a new school with much larger class sizes, I am asking God to keep whispering in my ear all day long..
I CHOSE YOU.
I AM WITH YOU.
I LOVE YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.
I am praying He will whisper this in your ear, too,
through things you see and things you do.
I love you all.
I need to dry my hair!
Hugs,
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!

I know of one sweet smiling young man that is glad that you chose to stretch past a stay-at-home mom to become his teacher. He was a little nervous this morning but I’m sure he’s past that at this point. He always wanted to have you as a teacher and now he does. From another ‘career’ mom, my nerves of sending my boy to high school were put to ease when you told me you were going to be there. 🙂 Knowing you are also his teacher, just thrills me (and Brian) to death. Have a great year! Love you!
Your sweet smiling young man made my day! 🙂 I look forward to sharing this year with him!
Love you, Kim! Thank you for your sweet words! 🙂
