Do you ever turn around and realize that there are so many people hurting, sad, confused, and lonely, and find yourself feeling overwhelmed?
That’s how I feel today.
Overwhelmed with the trials of this life.
And even more overwhelmed with God’s ability to handle them all.
My week is packed from sun up til sun down with subbing, basketball games, college activities, youth group lessons, soccer games, and a retreat this weekend where I will be speaking three times.
Unfortunately, I feel a little stressed. And at the same time, fully aware of God’s presence and desire to be just what I need Him to be.
So as I came here today thinking of myself, I was gently reminded when I saw these praying hands, that I have so many to be praying for other than myself…a family whose son has been given a few months to live, so many friends who are grieving, friends who are dealing with difficult marriage situations, friends who are facing the loss of jobs, friends whose children are making choices that go against God’s Word..
I come to you all on this Sunday afternoon in September asking you to take some time to lift up those you love to the Lord.
He alone has the power to be just what they need for today.
United with you through prayer,
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!

What a great reminder! I was thinking the same thing this last week about how many people need prayer and hope so I am thinking about starting a prayer request blog roll on my personal blog. Btw love reading your blog, I start subbing this next week so it’s been fun & encouraging to read your last few posts. 🙂 Hope you have a blessed week, I’ll be praying for you!
