For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time – to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.
~ 2 Timothy 1:9
I woke up early this morning.
Early enough to read this verse and be reminded of something.
God had a plan BEFORE the beginning of time.
And that plan was to somehow show us His grace through His Son.
That means that whatever you face today has one ultimate purpose…………..
to show you God’s grace through Jesus Christ.
I find comfort this morning in knowing that even when I don’t know all the “plans,” God does.
And not only that……………………..
He has known since before the beginning of time.
Resting in that knowledge today,
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! Email me anytime at 
If only I could remember that He not only has a plan to begin a good work in me but He also has a plan to bring that work to an end. He even knows all the step in the middle. Thanks for the little reminder.
