Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Today, my heart is aching for our friends, Luther, Gunnar, and Maverick.
Luther’s wife Bridgett went Home to be Jesus yesterday after only three weeks of fighting leukemia.
Gunnar and Maverick are middle school friends of Olivia’s, and Luther is a teacher and coach at the high school Todd attends.
Bridgett and Luther reflected Christ in all they did.
I remember Luther coming to our house and bringing Nick an East Carter football jersey and telling him that he looked forward to Nick wearing it one day.
Nick never had the chance to be on the team, but he sure grinned as Luther gave him the jersey.
After Nick passed away, Bridgett made sure the doctor’s office she worked in received a Nick’s Nook for their waiting room.
I have pictures of both of these events but just haven’t had time to find them yet. I will soon.
For now, please pray for the Jarvis family during this difficult time.
Thankful for the promise of God’s nearness to those who are brokenhearted.
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!
