Don’t Leave Egypt Alone
If you ever wanted a reason NOT to believe in a loving God, you might consider reading Exodus 12. But if you ever wanted a reason TO believe in Him, you might want to read this very same chapter……again. I’ll never understand His ways. Scripture...
He’s Right There In Your Kitchen
Standing before Pharoah had to be terrifying. Like Dorothy approaching the “great and powerful Oz,” I’m sure Moses’ legs trembled and his voice cracked as he came closer and closer to the throne. Who wouldn’t find it difficult to smoothly...
When God Speaks Through a Burning Bush or a Gas Station Bathroom Door
As I left the less-than-lovely gas station bathroom, the words “Do not open this,” caught my eye on the less-than-lovely bathroom door. Part of me wanted to listen. Touching the knob seemed like the very thing anyone in their right mind would choose...
How Many Whirlwinds Does It Take to Change a Person?
One phone call. That’s all it took to make time stand still. And sitting here this morning, I feel as if the clock stopped for our family for almost a week. Tim and I look at each other now and wonder what happened. We never dreamed last Wednesday would be the...
Because the Next Chapter Has Nothing (and Everything) to Do With Us
My new chronological Bible changes things up. Interrupts history with the pain-filled story of Job. Slips it right in between the death of Joseph and the arrival of Moses. Uninvited. Leaving us on the edge of our seat as Joseph dies and the Israelites are left alone...
Where Wisdom Can’t Be Found
It’s an honest question. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” We ask children this question from the time they’re very young. Answers range from, “Professional sports player to lawyer to famous YouTuber.” But more often than...
When Holy Leaves Speak……..
It’s no secret. You can move through life without ever turning to God. And still live long. Have power. And accumulate wealth. These earthly things are not connected to a relationship with the Giver of gifts. Yes, He blesses those who love Him, but He also...
When the Fog is Thick and Words are Missing
It’s not too difficult to imagine Job, sitting in ashes, questioning his life. “What did I do to deserve this?” “Where did I go wrong?” “Why is this happening to me?” Suffering brings questions. And sitting with a friend who...
When Answers Don’t Come Easy
“Teach me and I will be silent. Help me understand what I did wrong.” Job 6:24 I love Job’s honesty. I guess because I’ve felt the very same way. Had the same requests. Longing to understand where I slipped up. Beating myself up for every...
Meet Tammy
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 tammynischan@yahoo.com and I will reply as soon as I can!
