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 ever get to a place in life where you feel a little like you're near this kind-of sign? I felt guilty even stopping to take the picture! I've been in a long stretch of what I feel like has been a "no parking, stopping, standing...anytime" season. Partly due to...
A Song that Comforts Me Time and Time again…
When this song is played on the radio, it is all I can do to keep my hands on the steering wheel. Thank you for holding us, Lord. Thank you. (Remember to push pause on my blog music to the right.)
One of my favorite songs…
I just imagine Nick and Adrienne and so many others I love worshiping at the feet of Jesus...what a day that will by when we are all gathered round His throne..Oh, Lord, help me remember this song on the days when I feel so far from my children that I miss so much!...

Following My Heart…using His Words
Well, Friday morning I am going to pull out of Grayson, KY, all by myself at 6 a.m. and head to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a weekend conference called She Speaks. I'm going to be honest. I'm nervous. I feel unqualified in many ways to think I have anything to...
I Never Would Have Known…
At the family reunion this past weekend, I was so surprised to learn that this sweet distant relative has also lost a son (who was only 12 at the time). His name was Timmy. After all of these reunions where I have seen him smiling, laughing, visiting..I learned that...

Special Request……
A Christian publishing company contacted me this past week and wondered if any of you would be willing to answer four questions for them. They are considering some new Bible studies for women (men, feel free to answer for your wives or ask them what they think) and...
