Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4
Mature.
Complete.
Not lacking anything.
These words and phrases all sound so attractive until we read what it takes to reach them…..
Trials of many kinds.
Testing of our faith.
Perseverance finishing its work.
Today, as you face difficult moments remember this:
You are on a journey away from immaturity and incompleteness.
Allow God to lead down winding, uncertain roads…
so that you can reach the end in wholeness and maturity!
Praying for you today,
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 on a journey away from immaturity and incompleteness.”
Oh I love that! I am not loving the trials but knowing where the journey leads….THAT is good news.
And praying for you too. Oh those trials how they hurt so much, but it’s that perseverance that helps with the struggle. I will also pray as you journey down the road this weekend on your walk for Nick’s cause. Sandy
