It’s been one of those mornings.
The alarm went off so many times in a row.
And I sleepily pushed snooze while continuing to dream………
Until I looked at the clock and finally realized it was way past the time I normally get up.
The good news is that I usually get up about an hour before I need to so I can do things I like to do. 
The bad news is I didn’t get to do the things I like to do. 
I’m going to have to embrace the extra hour of sleep and be thankful.
And I’m going to have to realize that…..
This is the price I have to pay for hitting the snooze button too many times.
I miss out on parts of life that I love.
So, today, I’m challenging me and challenging you to not push the snooze button as we go through our day.
Don’t miss out on a chance to laugh with a friend at work.
Don’t miss out on a chance to encourage someone who is down.
Don’t miss out on a chance to hug someone who needs a little compassion.
Don’t miss out on a chance to be Jesus to a person who needs to see Him, know Him, or understand His love just a little more.
Be fully awake today!
Fully present wherever you are!
Fully alive!
I love you all!
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!
