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’s Blocking Your View?
I'll never forget the day I pulled up next to this car on my way home from work. Glancing to my right at a stop light, I saw these little guys looking my way. I couldn't resist rolling down my window and asking the gentlemen behind the wheel if I could please...
When You’re Alone with Yourself

When Life is Messy

What His Word Can Do
Words. I fill my day with them. Documents, forms, policies, procedures. Words, words, words. I type them. I study them. I try to understand them. I email them. And then for pleasure, I often go home and read even more of them. Words that entertain. Words that make me...
What Will It Take?
Life. On a blade of grass. On the tiniest leaf. Eyes to see. Legs to move. Microscopic heart beating. Armies of breathing creatures right under my feet. I watch them. I'm fascinated. And I smile, because I know deep inside He sees them too. He sees their coming and...
Hanging on to Easy Peace
The morning minutes slip through my hands most quickly. These dark and cozy intervals of time when everyone in the house sleeps but me. Even the dogs breathe heavy and take a break from begging for a treat. It's so quiet here in these hushed seconds of tranquility....
Why We Should Give Our Best
When I was in elementary school, our Girl Scout meetings were always held at the Baptist church in our town. Many times we arrived early or stayed late, because my mom and a couple of her friends were the Girl Scout leaders and they would meet to talk about upcoming...
Give and You Will Receive
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38 Give and you will receive. Give a little. Receive a little. Give a lot....
Robin Williams, You Will Be Missed
I wish I would have said, "Thank you." A card. An email. A hug. Anything. I wish I could have had the chance to say the things I'm saying now, because in many ways you changed me. You brought me to tears. You made me laugh. You caused me to think more deeply. And you...
Facing Today
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:147 In the hustle and the bustle of this world, In the midst of wars man cannot stop and illnesses man cannot cure, With broken hearts and empty arms, And demands that push us up against...
