I always hesitate to be so “open” with pain, but I find myself staring at the computer tonight realizing that if I write anything but the truth then I am becoming a fraudulent blogger.
We are dealing with some things right now in our home that are surfacing from grief……
things I cannot fix
things I cannot control
things I wish I could pretend weren’t that big of a deal
But they are.
So, I come to you tonight as a sad mom who needs her family lifted up in a big way.
Grief has reared its ugly heard, and we are trusting God to pull our family through yet another valley.
Being sad is one thing.
Not being able to help someone else’s sadness get better is another.
Trusting in the One Who Promises to turn our Sorrow into Joy,
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 will pray for you and ask God to hear your prayer and heal whatever it is that you need during this time. You certainly have had rough times and I will ask the Lord to bestow some peace and wrap your entire household in his arms. Sandy from MD.
I will pray that the Lord will uphold you with his grace and love. I know that you know he is always there, always listening and always caring, but I ask for a supernatural, miraculous act of his love in supplying all that you need as a family right now. For each one far beyond anything we can ask or imagine.
I pray for peace and sleep and rest to restore your souls and that you and Tim would have wisdom in how to deal with whatever it is you are going through right now.
Remember , He is faithful!! Love from Australia
Me thinks you are might be in need of another dose of beach.
So sorry, Tammy. Trusting with you.
Hi Tammy,
Thanks for sharing. Lifting your entire family in prayer before our Heavenly Father!
(Psalms 120:1 DR) 1 In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.
Love you!
Tammy A. from PA
Thank you all. Thank you. Knowing prayers are being lifted by all of you brightens my day. I am in my planning period and don’t usually visit here, but today I think I needed to know that you heard me and were praying……..I never want to be melodramatic but at the same time I can’t pretend that life is always easy. I wish I could share more details but I know you understand that sometimes God is the one Who needs to know those things and work in only ways that He can.
Thank you for praying. Thank you.
And yes, Jennifer, another dose of the Australian beach would be so good for me!! Send a video again anytime! It soothed my soul last time just seeing and hearing the waves coming in on the other side of the world. The best part, though, was hearing your sweet Australian voice narrate!!!
Love to all of you,
