I returned to the pile of trash today to see if the desk was still there! It was!
Thank you, Brett, for meeting me there with your trailer to help me dig it out and bring it home! 🙂

I took out all the drawers, washed the desk off (it was a little warped from all the rain,) and found a gallon of paint in my closet that I had used for trim earlier this summer.
Then I painted it white!
Here is my new desk!
Trish, I placed it right below the wall hanging you brought me when Nick was so sick.
It says, “Happy moments, praise God, difficult moments, seek God, quiet moments, worship God, painful moments, trust God, EVERY MOMENT, THANK GOD.”
I love these words!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Trish! 🙂
I moved a few baskets around from different rooms and bought a $6 lamp at Family Dollar……… ![]()

Now I have a little place to write while in the same room as the kids!!!
I just love it!
Here’s what it looks like at night!
I’m just thinking that if an old throw-away desk can be transformed into something so useful that surely GOD can do something AMAZING with each of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!

Do you ever sleep?! lol.

Love you so very much!

Cool! I love to see people take things and make them into something new and useful. Pretty space for you to write, Tammy!
I absolutely LOVE it! What a cozy little space of your very own. 😉
It looks great! I HEART the words on the sign. Cool stencil on your chair, too!
