Between an early and slightly crazy day today followed by a late afternoon, and an extra, extra early day tomorrow, I will be away from my computer until tomorrow night.
I wanted to send my love and let you all know that even when I don’t write a new blog post, you are so near to my heart.
I never thought I could fall in love with many people I may never meet until Heaven, but I have……………..deeply.
Lifting you up daily,


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 

Will miss you, I am addicted to this blog! Your blog is my daily devotion or at least one….Thank you for sharing your ups and downs like a normal woman….
Hey!
You probably called my cell and we don’t use them anymore.
I can’t send private FB messages for some reason. I click the “send” button but it won’t send. I’ll send my home number in an email.
I think about you often…especially when I hear those chimes!
Love you.
Melanie
I love you too. Looking forward to the day we will meet when in Heaven. Unless, of course,I manage to take a long trip to the USA someday. MIssed your take on Battlefield of the Mind this week. Sure you are super busy on your own battlefield these days.
Thank you for the time you write and express your love for Our Lord and the struggles you have, then somehow manage to put it all back into persepctive for yourself and for us. We always have Him to depend on when life has its twists and turns. Remember to take time to breathe and look around while you are busy doing all the things you are doing. Been there as a wife, mom and teacher myself. It can drain us. Thank you again for sharing. Sandy from MD
Melanie, I’m looking forward to your email. Jen, if you ever want to visit American, I have an extra bedroom and would be thrilled to have you as a guest! Sandy, drained is the perfect word…..thank you for your sweet reminder to breathe…..God is stretching me this year. I know He opened this door for a reason, so I’m trusting Him to carry me through. 🙂 I love you all….
Oops, I meant America! 🙂
