Shhhhh……
What do you hear when you close your eyes and listen?
Dishwasher running
Washing machine signaling “I am finished”
Pages turning in the kitchen as a book is being read by Robert
The springs of the swing bouncing as Marbles, our cat, hops up to look in the window
Horns honking
Interstate traffic moving
Life moves all around me….
Without me helping, it keeps moving…….
I’m learning in the stillness that it’s okay just to listen-
Allowing things to run and move and change and happen……
without me.
It’s okay.
I tend to be a mover, a changer, a runner.
But I’m learning to be a listener.
And I love what I hear.
I hope you’ll close your eyes for just a minute and listen to the world around you…….
And allow it to move without you if even for just a few minutes.
Soaking in the stillness,
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 
Was thinking on just this thing this morning in my devotions….and here it is again. Must be something for me…
Hugs, friend!!
