My empty computer screen has overwhelmed me lately.
My fingers seem to hover over the keys, begging me to create words; but my mind fights back, convincing me that silence is much more needed these days.
I wonder if God had a similar wrestling match inside Himself on the night Jesus was born.
Did His fingers hover over the Earth, struggling to move…………….
yet longing to fill the world with Hope,
as He chose to write the living Word into existence?
Was His mind in conflict with His hands as He knew the ultimate journey this Son of His would take?
This newborn babe wrapped in swaddling clothes………………
destined for suffering and pain.
How did God do it?
How did He find the strength to move forward with such a plan?
I have to believe He saw the empty tomb on the night Jesus was born.
The angels surely saw it too.
Their songs of joy were more than announcements of Jesus’ arrival.
They were promises that God had finally showed up.
From this moment on Emmanuel, God with us, would change the course of history.
Today, you may be in a painful part of your own journey.
So many of my friends are facing tough days right now’ and believe me, the Nischan house has had it’s fair share of struggles the past few months…………….
Everything changes for me, though, when I look at the Nativity scene and also see the empty tomb.
Hope
Promise
Victory over death
Resurrection
Eternal Life
So much was wrapped in swaddling clothes that night……………………..
And your life is wrapped in all of this too.
No matter what you’re facing today,
never forget that all of your sadness
and pain
and confusion
and doubt
and grief
is wrapped up tight in the power of the empty tomb.
Feel the warmth of His love today.
He is holding you close……………….and just like that starry night when Jesus was born, destined for so much agony, God has a beautiful plan for you………………
far beyond the heartache of today.
My empty screen has overwhelmed me lately,
but this morning I’m thankful to feel overwhelmed by the power of the empty tomb.
I want to see what God saw when Jesus was born,
because it changes everything about today.
I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings!
Phil. 3:10
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 
I too have struggled lately with the written word. I’ve been somewhat embarrassed that I can’t come up with a single post for December, the month when I should have the most to say. Thank you for expressing yourself so well with this post. I think sometimes silence is a gift. I just need to open up to seeing that He is the one who gives me the words to speak, and maybe, just maybe He is storing up the words in my heart for just the right moment. I love you Tammy.
