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!

Battlefield of the Mind Chapter 17 and a short Book Review
Chapter 17 in Joyce Meyer's book Battlefield of the Mind is all about the wilderness mentality that says, Someone do it for me; I don't want to take the responsibility. I don't know why I am so surprised when God brings together different reading topics in my life at...
What it means to have a Shepherd….
God wants to be more than our Master and Lord. He longs to be our Shepherd. When I think of what it means to have a Shepherd, I find peace in knowing that even when I don't know where I am suppose to turn there is Someone with a staff guiding me in my journey. When I...
Our two "new" rooms….
My old office is now a cozy little TV room. Kathryn and Olivia snuggled up in it tonight to watch a movie. There's not a lot of space o do much else than watch a movie or play a game in this room, but I love having a little place right off the kitchen for Olivia and...
The Lifter of my Head……..
Psalm 3:3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I had to stop my car a few weeks ago and snap a picture when I saw this huge inflatable snowman in someone's yard. Doesn't he look sad? When I see someone with their head hanging...
Frozen……..
This flower pot is a perfect visual for how I have felt the past few days. Frozen. No words to share. None. I had a little meltdown last night because I was in so much pain and felt so tired of feeling so incapable of doing much more than alternating from laying on my...
Where Have I Been????????
The truth is: I've been pretty much right here on the couch for the last week. I tried to soak up all my time with Mom while she was here. I don't know what I would have done without her for this first week of recovery. She was such a big help. I've had some...
Time to think…..Battlefield of the Mind…FINALLY!
There was no possible way for me to even imagine actually trying to walk to a car and then sit through a church service this morning. So, here I am-laying on my side in bed with a pillow supporting my back and our puppy Kandi snoozing beside me. She is the sweetest...
He Knew All Along………….
Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Psalm 104 Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the...
From Puppies to Graduation and back to Puppies….
Last weekend we traveled to Nashville to celebrate Christmas with Erich and Mallory and attend Mallory's graduation from college. We were excited to meet their new little family member, Phoebe! Isn't she adorable???? We were so proud of Mallory as we watched her...
Risky………
I'm heavily medicated tonight, so I'm probably taking a big risk by trying to share about my day. But here I go. Please remember that I am partially not responsible for typos, grammar, and content this evening. I woke up this morning knowing that I could consume no...
