It’ll Be Worth It……..
I woke up in the middle of the night with all kinds of questions running through my mind about the field trip I have planned for Friday. The names of people I need to talk to today seemed endless…….. Last minute details that seem to be piling up quickly. I...What "Carry" Means……..
Every Friday evening, Carrie cries as we sit with her in Bible study at the jail. Her mistakes, her addictions, her sins…….they’ve taken a toll on her life. Indefinite jail time, an angry son, an uncertain future……just a few of the...The Emptiness of "My Words"…………
When I started blogging in 2007, I remember thinking “What in the world do I have to say that anyone needs to read?” As I sat and pondered my blog name, I felt a sense of unworthiness even thinking I needed a public place to click away at my keyboard....Almost Wordless Wednesday………
My fingers seemed frozen this morning as I placed them on the keyboard.A blank screen.A song from Moses to the Israelites about the power of God in my morning Bible reading.The Israelites………….a chosen people so prone to wandering.Why was it so...The Promises of Spring!!
If you think about it, every season has spiritual meaning. Fall use to be my favorite season……… the orange and yellow leaves, the crisp, cool air. But anymore, I’m a spring girl! I love the promise of new life after winter! I love seeing hope...Monday………..
Martha and her husband board a plane today at 2:30, headed back to MD Anderson where Martha will learn the date of her surgery and the treatment plan to follow. Leaving everything she loves for an indefinite amount of time isn’t easy, though, so please keep...A Different Kind of Friday……
I didn’t teach yesterday. I wasn’t feeling well, and I knew a day at home would be the best medicine for me. I had planned to work on lesson plans, grade papers, and rest under a blanket; but I guess my body needed rest more than productivity. After being...Happy birthday, Adrienne!
Twenty years ago today, we opened our hearts all the way up to love a new little bundle of joy. No reservations. No hesitations. Our arms were eager to hold her. Our lips were filled with kisses for her sweet little cheeks, our precious Adrienne Annabeth Nischan. We...Why "More" Can Be Dangerous………

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!
