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!

Prayer and Fear

God Won!
Just a week ago, I sat behind the wheel of my mini-van at church after dropping my kids off for VBS (I promise I have volunteered for the past 20 years.....I just needed a break this year!) crying so hard I could barely breathe.One of my dear friends had simply walked...
Thankful
If you know me in "real life" or if you follow my blog/Nick's website, you know that I have had a VERY ROUGH week! One thing after another has caused me to feel fear, doubt, negativity, blah, blah, blah.We came home from a literal "dream" vacation and were smacked in...
Just a Quick Note
I just wanted to say I will be gone for three days, and I got everything printed that I could print......I feel a little less prepared than I had hoped, but oh well. If God has a plan, it's hard to mess Him up. If it is not His time for me to go this direction, then...
Down to the Wire
