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!

Do You Know the Feeling?!?!??!

Does it really matter????????
There was a time in my life when I would have been very UNHAPPY to find rolls of toilet paper placed in opposite ways. I have a little joke with a friend of mine whose husband will only allow the toilet paper to be placed on the roll in a certain way, so when I saw...
Send in the Clowns……..
I can't believe that I actually made a public confession today about my struggles in the world of cooking. If you talk to any of my friends, you will quickly learn that out of all of the areas in my life where I feel lacking COOKING ranks as NUMBER ONE. It seems like...

An Unexpected Need for Change…………………..
Last night I came here to check in and discovered that instead of my normal blog music there was a podcast of a baseball game from June 2010 which was highlighting a game between the Angels and the Dodgers and reflecting on a previous game from 2008. It was the oddest...
My Treasure………
I spent $1 about 4 years ago and bought a little notebook to carry in my purse. I thought that writing a verse in it every once in a while would help me as we were sitting in so many different doctor's offices, waiting rooms, and hospitals with Nick. Through the...
Wordless??????? Never……
Is it possible to be "wordless" but still have something to say? I sat here this morning staring at the screen, half awake, thinking of all of you who stop by this blog from time to time. I found my mind wandering between so many different thoughts and yet not really...
