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!

What Drives us to Him?
Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. I've found through the years that there's nothing like a season of "winter" to drive...
If You Feed a Mouse A Nutty Bar…
When I decided to make a special "school-lunch supply shelf" in the closet in our living room a couple of years ago, I didn't realize I was creating a future "mouse cafe." And I sure didn't realize that a package of nutty bars had fallen down onto the floor over a...

One More Thing………..
I have a burden today for several families who are grieving deeply. In many ways, I grieve all over again when I grieve with them. And I felt this urge to revisit my blog and share something before leaving this weekend in case any of these grieving families came...
Snow Travels…….
This time of year can be so beautiful (if you can stay inside and just look out at window!) But when one son is driving to South Carolina for a conference and another son is driving to Nashville to see his "bride - to- be" for Valentine's Day and for a job interview...
Oh, So Thankful for Songs Like This One……….
I just love when God leads me to songs that I haven't heard in a while, so that I can be reminded of Who He is in such a powerful way. (Don't forget to pause the blog music on the right when you scroll down to the red box just below Nick's sweet picture, so that you...
To Choose or Not to Choose……..

What am I afraid of????????
Well, when I started blogging one thing I wanted to be committed to was being honest and transparent. I felt like I owed that to all of you who come here to share life with me. That's why sometimes, I just can't blog. I'm in the middle of something that's maybe too...
Who keeps us growing?????
Determination "It's the size of one's will that determines success." I just love this photograph and the saying underneath it. Especially when I think of "one's will" as coming from "God's will." God's will is for all of us to be saved! God's will is for us to live...
