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!

When I’m Teachable
Something changes when you go into the day with a teachable heart. Your ears become more important than your mouth. Your questions search for deeper answers. Your eyes scan the world for more than the "right there" kind-of sights. You look deeply into landscapes,...
When “Crying Out” is All You’ve Got
It's one of those mornings. The alarm sounds and the only thing that really wakes up is the deepest part of my soul. Questions I can't answer dance through dark places in my mind, and I wonder how I will step out in today. Sometimes facing the world is just too much...
Why I Don’t Doubt Some Things But Still Doubt Others
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Faith. I have it. I believe in what I believe. I am sure of my hope. I am certain of so many things I will never see. Yet, there are still things I doubt even though doubt...
When Life Needs Sorted Out

When We Make Time For Love
Stopping to a hug a friend. I need to make that choice more often. I text love. I send notes of encouragement through Facebook now and then. I try to be a decent social media encourager. But a real hug? No, I don't make time for unexpected, real, tangible...
The Loving Kitchen
When I think back on my childhood, I have so many fond memories of my grandma's kitchen. I clearly remember drinking Kool-aid out of a cold, brightly-colored, metal glass. I remember her pantry doors that slid open and shut and how we use to play Price is Right,...
Even If He Does Not
The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is like something from a movie. Three men refuse to bow to a king's golden image, trusting in God to save them from a fiery furnace. In the end, God shows up in a mighty way. He not only saves them from the fire, but also...
When Your World is Rocked
One text. One phone call. One knock at the door. That's all it takes to change everything about our day. About the rest of our life. What do we do when the spinning of this world suddenly seems to be spinning out of control? What do we do when our world is rocked? I...
When Words Come Up Short and You Don’t Know What To Do
I've tried since Friday night to find a way to express in words what I'm feeling deep inside. I've opened Facebook several times and read what others have written. I've agreed with every word of thanks and honor and high esteem for this man, but when I've gone to my...
