Thankful for A Guarded Heart and Mind
Philippians 4:6-86Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.8Finally,...
Depending on Him
The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.~ Lamentations 3:25I woke up in the darkness of the night with Nick sleeping near me, and I was overcome with a feeling that I needed to get up and go to my Bible. I didn't feel totally prepared...
Jesus Knew We Would Doubt
Habakkuk 317-19Though the cherry trees don't blossomand the strawberries don't ripen,Though the apples are worm-eatenand the wheat fields stunted,Though the sheep pens are sheeplessand the cattle barns empty,I'm singing joyful praise to God.I'm turning cartwheels of...
I Subbed with Santa!
You just never know what's going to happen when you sub! Look who was subbing on the same day as I was! Santa!! Well, actually, he said he is Santa's twin brother. I just had to share!
Teens and Cell Phones….They’re Not All Bad
Last night Olivia had a basketball game in Ashland. I had this big idea that Mom and Nick could meet me, Tim, Todd, and Olivia after the game to eat at a restaurant in Ashland that is fairly new (at least we've never been there). I was so excited when Nick agreed to...

It’s Beginning to Look a "Little" Like Christmas
Poor Snoopy.....He just seems a little "out of place" standing near the pumpkins and very-dried out mums! There's just something about this time of year that seems about that awkward. Christmas is in the air but Thanksgiving longs to be celebrated for all its...
Tim Needed a Little Lift!
Psalm 31 O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!2 Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him."3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy...
My Morning Plea……..My Mid-Morning Plea…My Noon Plea…….and so on…..
Psalm 141:1-3 1 O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.2 May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my...
Would God Speak Through a Deer?
Last night as I was driving back from a movie with Olivia and four of her little friends we saw a house totally decked out in lights for the holidays! Even the bushes were sparkling with color! I couldn't believe it! My heart has struggled to be filled with the spirit...
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!
