Shirtless boys……..
Shovels of all sizes….
Freshly-tilled soil………
Tomato, lettuce, sweet potato, hot pepper, and cucumber plants ready to be placed in the ground….
A lot of faith……….. 
Promises of a harvest…..
Small beginnings……..
For me, gardening is a powerful visual of how God works.
We do a little.
God does a lot.
We plant a seed.
God produces a harvest.
I think farmers must have a special connection with God. So much of what they do requires hope, faith, and trust.
I can’t help but think of my grandpa every time I work in my garden. As a little girl, I would follow him around his Oklahoma farm watching him water his crops, feed his cattle, and build traps to keep rabbits away from his plants…he always reminded me of Elmer Fudd, trying to invent the perfect rabbit trap….fertile soil was the carpet of his office and he worked long hours………
Growing a garden in Kentucky helps me feel connected to my roots in Oklahoma.
And it reminds me of God’s power to take our “little efforts” and transform them into something much bigger!
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!

Our Pastor just talked about a garden, comparing it to our Christianity. The garden either prospers or fails according to the way you nurture it. If you simply let it grow wild the weeds (sin) will crawl in and ruin your garden, but if you use that hoe (repent) and try to keep that garden as clear as possible it will grow better. Moral was that even as a Christian we much grow each day and try our best to keep away from sin. In another words… Keep the weeds out!!!
Oh, I just love this. Tammy you are so precious! Much love to you!
Who plants a seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see believes in God.
