I thought I’d back up and share a little about the past few days.
It’s all about testing at school…….
Our school’s testing theme is “Topping The Charts,” so we’re decorating our doors with music themes. This is my classroom door. 🙂 Thank you, Lela and Brittany, for helping me!!
We’re working on summarizing this week in reading class.
Today we did a “Get the GIST” activity where the kids had to choose an article and determine the “who,what, when, where, why, and how?”![]()
Yesterday after school I took Olivia and her two friends, Sarah….![]()
and Cameron…..
to KCU for dinner. We did our weekly after-school Bible study on the book The Me I Want to Be: Teen Edition. The girls summarized each of their lives into a coat of arms showing things about them that God could use…Olivia was too tired to be photographed (I thought it was because she had taken an allergy pill that causes drowsiness). She’s had such a rough spring, missing school several days already in the last two months. Later, I realized she had a fever. 🙁
Have I mentioned lately that I won’t be running for Mom of the Year?
Now we know that Olivia has a double ear infection and her lungs are not great either, so she’s on an antibiotic, taking cough medicine regularly, and using an inhaler three times a day. ![]()
This was dinner tonight.
As Olivia and I are cuddled up on the couch this evening, Friday night is sounding really good to both of us………..
Thanks for praying for her.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.
Eccl. 3:1
In the midst of all the the other things going on in life, I am looking forward to a time of healing for Olivia,


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 

YOu are mother of the year!! and ever year!!! Love you and tell Olivia to get well soon. Love all of you. Dana Franks
Wish you were my mom, Tammy….
