Spending time with people is definitely one of my favorite things to do, so in some ways I’ve loved having the opportunity to meet all of the youth groups that have been visiting the campus of KCU and also seeing alumni who I remember from the past 20 years of ministry here.
But when I took on this project, I had to let go of some other things…like cleaning my house, cooking, and writing…..
I haven’t missed some parts of what I haven’t been doing (smiles), but I have missed being in touch with all of you.
I thought I’d take a few minutes to share a little bit of what I’ve been up to and simply say, “I love you all.”
Summer in the Son brings back lots of memories of Nick, so the past week and a half have also left me feeling a little blue deep in my heart. Nick loved the concerts. He loved summer!
I miss him so much.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with grief like I often do, I highly recommend taking a long walk by yourself and just telling God how you feel. I took one this morning, and it helped me so much! God longs to hear from you…on the good days and the bad.
Turn to Him with your hurting heart. He cares, He understands, and He loves you.







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!
