I wonder if the wise men ever got distracted in their long, long journey. Distracted by people they met, camel “break downs,” hunger, fatigue.
I wonder if they ever talked about turning around as they trudged along day after day night after night…sandy, hot, thirsty…
I wonder if the Star ever faded behind clouds and caused them to lose hope.
I am far from a “wise man.” However, I am a woman who is trying my best to stay focused on the One to whom all my gifts and passions belong.
But, shew!
I feel distracted.
A long list of “things to do” combined with the little things that just “pop up” and require my attention are keeping from Him.
Forgive me, Lord, when this world clouds my view of Your Glory with its day-to-day demands.
Help me to keep looking up…….trusting that in the end my journey will bring me to my knees in front of You.
Determined to Seek Him in spite of myself,
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!

Sweet Tammy,
I SO felt the warmth of your hug flow through bloggy-land today as I read your comment. So many times I wonder at the loss you have walked through of not one… but two beautiful children. How very deep the Grace of God flows through you… yes, even on the hard days. Sweet Tammy, the testimony of His never-ending love and grace flows through every word and every posting, through every little scripture reminder you send our way. I am SO blessed by your life and the depth of love that you have for others. I am SO blessed by the smile on your face and the smile on Olivia’s face. You amaze me but I know it’s the love of Jesus flowing through you that amazes me more. I hear the Father say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done Tammy for you have walked valiantly through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Well done Tammy for you have trusted ME in spite of it all. Well done daughter for you have not forsaken me even as I have not forsaken you.”
With MUCH love and hugs right back at you dear,
Bonnelle
Amen, I can’t say it any better than Ms. Bonnelle.
