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: Week 13
A Judgmental, Critical, and Suspicious Mind I'd like to say that this type of "mind trouble" has never been part of my life, but sadly, I have to admit that it has. I believe I have made some progress through the years in this area, but there are still times when my...

Life-changing……..
It's been a LONG time since I sat down and actually watched a tv show with Tim and the kids. Amazing Race use to be a family favorite with Nick, and it felt good tonight to sit down and enjoy some family time doing something "normal." As the show ended, another show...
Just so you know…….
I'm not at the beach. 🙂 But I'm also not at school this afternoon. I decided that taking a half day off to be at home and get mentally and spiritually prepared for the retreat this weekend was exactly what I needed! I'm sitting on my back porch listening to Nick's...
Soaking Up the Son……..
I'm not sure if it was Erich and Mallory's wedding four hours away or Evan being hospitalized for almost a week recently or teaching full-time in a brand new job or trying to get ready for two weekend women's retreats or remembering that I still have a family who...
What I Want to Say………………………….

Eye Exam………..
Last night at church, our youth minister talked about "blind spots" and how our eyes affect the condition of our heart. As I talked with my small group after the lesson (a group of high school sophomore girls), we looked at some different verses that talk about our...
Got Hope???????
I've never met a person who "wants" to live a life without hope, but I've also never met a person who enjoys times of suffering.Read these words from Paul:Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces...
