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!

Thankful Thursday …….

My Sweet Nick……..
Well, you know me and my connection with "pennies from Heaven." I usually teach on Tuesdays, but I am home today because Olivia is sick and didn't go to school. I thought this would be a great morning to get some little odds and ends taken care of around the...
A Very Special Request….
Many of you only know our sweet Nick through my blog postings, but you have still become such a special, special part of our life journey. We are in the process of designing Nick's tombstone and have a very special request. We are asking for words or phrases...
The Rehearsal………..
Revelation 19:6-10 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the...
Thankful Thursday…..didn’t happen..
The other day one of my friends mentioned something about my blog and I told her that on days when I don't write I am often just not "up" for sharing.. That was my day yesterday. My "thankful Thursday" turned into anything but a day of "thanksgiving." Have you ever...
The planting begins………
I thought about my grandpa a lot today. He loved to work in his Oklahoma garden. I always told him that he reminded me of Elmer Fudd...forever trying to come up with some new funny trap to catch the pesty rabbits that would nibble on his plants. I'll carry on my...
From Any Angle…..This is my least favorite "chore"
Sometimes I wonder what Israel complained about the most? For some reason, I think they had bigger things on their hearts than ironing. So, I believe these words from God speak to all who are weary today-for whatever reason. God was with the Israelites,...
