It’s been a LONG time since I sat down and actually watched a tv show with Tim and the kids.
Amazing Race use to be a family favorite with Nick, and it felt good tonight to sit down and enjoy some family time doing something “normal.”
As the show ended, another show began that I had forgotten even existed. It is called “Undercover Boss.”
In this show, presidents and CEOs of companies go undercover as employees so that they can see how their businesses are being ran from “the inside out” without being recognized as “the boss.”
By the end of the show, the boss learns two things.
First, they discover employees who are invaluable and who need to be promoted.
Second, they find weaknesses in their business that need improvement.
Tonight, as I watched the CEO being brought to tears time and time again as he worked side by side with his employees who had tough life stories and yet great work ethics, it made me think about how I would be perceived by an undercover boss.
It also made me think about the reality that God does not have to go “undercover” to observe my work ethic or my attitude.
I am in tears tonight after watching employee after employee be praised and rewarded for their tireless work and great attitude in spite of many tough life situations.
I am humbled as I think of how whiny I can be at times about working full-time this year.
I want to do everything I do as “unto the Lord.”
He is my not-so-undercover boss.
When I stand before Him one day, I want to hear the words,
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
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 
In my opinion, I think the Lord will look and say job well done faithful servant. Look at all you have been through and do. Your faith is a gold mine for those of us who read this blog. You continuously serve the Lord and praise Him in all that you do. You reach out to your blog readers in such a humanistic way, with the good and the bad. And we come back to read your thoughts each day. Remember our journey will be one of struggle as well as contentment, we live here on earth don’t we. And going back to work full time is a big adjustment especially teaching. It’s not a job where when it’s closing time you can leave it behind. You take it home with you for 10 months. That was my past life as well. It is not easy to juggle a teaching career with all those children we need to educate, and hold the many jobs we do as wife, mother, daughter, friend with all the litte jobs that intertwine for us. Keep up the good work. Sandy from MD
