I’m not at the beach. 🙂
But I’m also not at school this afternoon.
I decided that taking a half day off to be at home and get mentally and spiritually prepared for the retreat this weekend was exactly what I needed!
I’m sitting on my back porch listening to Nick’s wind chimes play beautifully in the breeze while surrounded by books, notebooks, and my Bible…….
This is my favorite place to be and my favorite thing to do. Erich and Mallory’s dog Hugo (we are dog sitting while they are on their honeymoon) is so happy I am home! He is enjoying some fun time in the back yard!!!
I have not forgotten our Battlefield of the Mind study, I promise. I will post the next chapter very soon.Â
I love you all and want to say THANK YOU for sharing life with me when I am everything from sad to happy, stressed to relaxed, down or up….
So thankful for a Father who accepts all of my emotions too.
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 
Been thinking about you a lot today! Glad you could take some time to regroup! Hang in there, good things are in store! Love you~!
May this retreat not only enlighten those who will be there listening, but for you to enjoy the closeness you have with the Lord. Blessings for you this weekend. Sandy from MD
Everyone needs a retreat! Even Jesus rested on the 7th day….As Moms, and all the other hats we wear, we need rest, too, or we don’t do any of our jobs correctly…So take Jesus example and REST, REST, and REST.
