Another Journey Begins…
Tim and I have been on a lot of different kinds of "journeys" in our 25 years of marriage. Some fun. Some very tough. Some inspirational. Some very mundane. Some that took us many miles from home. Some that kept us in our home traveling only through things like grief...

Restoration Calls for a Master……
Psalm 80:7 Restore us, God Almighty When my dad brought us his mom's piano, which was her two-year anniversary gift in 1916, I almost cried. Memories are stored in furniture much like they are stored in our hearts. Just seeing the piano reminded me of the many times...
Until tonight……………………….
Have a wonderful Wednesday!I'm leaving early and returning late............................Sending love until tonight,
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!
