I woke up this morning and wished I could have had about one more hour of sleep. When Maria came downstairs, she was feeling the same way.
I think a few mornings in a row of sleeping in a bit has gotten our bodies off schedule.
So, today, I am going to have to muster everything inside of me to be alert, ready, and pleasant as a teacher.
Acknowledging what I’m going to need in order to have a happy day is the first step to reaching my goal.
What are you going to need in order to have a happy Monday?
I am so thankful that God’s mercies are new every morning and that He knows what we need before we even ask for it. I am so thankful that He longs to give good gifts to His children.
He is my everything, and because of Him I can have a happy Monday on a sleepy Monday.
I am praying you can 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!

Well, God and I managed Monday. Now I am up to Tuesday. Praying we will do a good job today as well. Had to visit the dentist yesterday to begin a root canal and prayer was answered in that visit. I had the courage to tell the dentist that as well even thought Satan wanted to keep my mouth shut. The dentist was lovely but she is Indian, new to Australia and everything within me was telling me she wouldn’t want to know about my God. I spoke anyway. My prayers for boldness are certainly helping. I have at least three more visits. It will be a miracle that I can pay the bill.
I will be praying for both the bill paying and the God sharing!! I love you, Jen. I have not yet walked the road of root canal, but I have never heard that they are fun.
Hugging you from America,
Tammy
