When I pulled up today to pick Todd up from tennis practice, I noticed that a little guy on the team was sitting against the fence holding his racket and crying. Todd was kneeling down in front of him and I could hear the words, “You’re getting better. Keep trying.”
After a few minutes, Todd helped him up and off they trotted back to the court.
As I sat there reflecting on that moment in time, I knew that God was somehow redeeming the hurt in Todd’s life by allowing him to reach out and help someone else who was hurting.
I just love how God works.
If only in those moments of deep pain, rejection, and hurt, we could remember that God is working to create in us a “new thing.”
Isaiah 43:18-20
18 “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
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!
