Mom, Olivia, and I went on a walk over Thanksgiving break.
I snapped this picture of Olivia and just couldn’t believe how “grown up” she looks. When did this happen?!?!?!?!?
Cheri, you are right! Our kids grow up way too quickly!
Tim has always used the phrase “being fully present” when talking about spending time with family and friends.
I just love that phrase and have struggled through the years to do just that.
Lord, help me be “fully present” with those I love!
Praying you will “be fully present” with those you love too!
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!

Olivia is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I noticed how grown up she looked when she added me to her facebook. When I first glanced at her photos, my first thought was who is that model Olivia has on her page. Love you and think of you often.

That is an amazing photo. One to be blown up a bit and hung in just the right spot. Great great photo!
Thank you for praying that I and others will be fully present. I am trying so hard before anymore time slips away.
Hugs, Cheri
Tammy,
Olivia is, in a word, stunning! I felt the same way as Tammy when I saw her picture on facebook–how grown up and what a beautiful young lady she has become in just the blink of an eye. She is always such a sweetie and you can tell she has such a pure, wonderful heart. I pray all the time for my boys friends, both now and to come. I’m glad Gunnar has sweet friends like Olivia.
Praying for peace and the presence of Jesus for your family this Christmas season and always!
What a beautiful young lady~~xoxoxo
