As my students were trying to match math terms with their correct definitions, they were often stumped thinking that there was no answer to the definition they were holding.
Once we talked through the question, though, and they did some more searching, you could see the excitement on their faces as they suddenly discovered a card on the table that “FIT” what they were looking for!
Don’t you love those moments in life when everything falls together and makes sense??? I sure do.
However, on this planet the reality is that many times we will be left with hanging questions that more than likely won’t be answered this side of Heaven.
That’s where faith comes in!
I love Hebrews 11. I love realizing that every single person who was commended for their faith did NOT receive what they were promised until they reached Heaven. After praising Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Rahab, and many others, listen to what the Bible says in Hebrews 11:39 – 40.
These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
WOW!
It strengthens me to know that even in the amazing lives of these men and women, “God had planned something better.”
Today, as I got up at 5 a.m. so I could leave for school a littler earlier to work on lesson plans for next week, because our school is being observed by another county on Monday – the day immediately following the weekend of Erich’s wedding (AAAA!!!!!!!), I felt a little overwhelmed.
But as I went through my morning and whispered some verses that I have clung to for so very long, I realized this:
God has planned something better……..
Maybe not today.
Maybe not next week.
Maybe not even in my life time.
But He has planned something better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the thought that Abraham and Moses’ faith becomes perfect when it comes together with ours.
I am praying now that no matter what your day holds you will remember that
God has planned something better!!!!!!!!!!!
He is the Master of “putting it all together!”
No more hanging questions.
No more “whys.”
God will make all things clear and perfect!
Someday.
Until then, I pray your faith can keep you pressing on!
I love you all,
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 
Just wanted to stop over and let you know I’m thinking about you and praying for you this week! Love you, Christine
