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!

The Road Less Travelled….
Our GPS led us to a crossroads. Not sure which way to go, we chose to follow the car in front of us with an Alabama license plate. They surely were headed to the same retreat as us! Why would an Alabama car be on this long windy road in Tennessee unless they were...

Enough Already…..
I've been running a lot of different kinds of errands the past few days.. When I finally made it home for a little bit of "in between time" to work on some writing projects, I went to pick up my computer and this is what I saw. Honestly, I've seen this for weeks now...
Why Am I Here?
There was just something about Olivia's bright orange bucket tossed over to the side of the creek that made me smile. The contrast of the buckets bright cheerful color against the backdrop of the gray rocks struck me as a picture of Christianity today and possibly how...
Nine Months…
I just couldn't head to bed without sending a quick note to acknowledge the 9-month anniversary of Nick's life in Heaven. Nine months...... I carried you inside of me, Nick, for a sweet nine months. I remember wanting a girl so badly......after having two boys,...
Go Raiders!!
About two weeks after Nick died, Olivia had a dream. I think I shared about it at the time, but it just comes back to me so often when I watch Olivia play basketball!! The dream gave her such a feeling of peace about Nick's death. She dreamt that Nick was sitting...
