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!

He Longs to Make Things Nice and Easy
I've been through this process hundreds of times, but for some reason this morning the phrase "place your hands in the expert gloves" made me laugh out loud. I looked at my hands. I looked at the flimsy, plastic gloves. And I thought to myself, "Expert gloves?!?"...
The Perfect Diet
If portion control is the secret to losing and/or maintaining your weight, consider these verses today with regard to your spiritual life. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. Lam. 3:24 LORD, you alone are my portion and my...
Shhhhhh…………
Sometimes the sounds of this world seem so loud it's difficult to hear the One Voice we need most. Today, find time to simply listen. Clear your mind. Be still. Listen. He's whispering. He's there. In the chaos. In the confusion. In the sadness. In the...
A Great Question to Ask Yourself Often
Just as teachers know that lessons are more successful when students understand why they are doing what they are doing on any particular day, I believe God knows we live more purposeful lives when we ask ourselves the very same question, "Why am I doing this?"...
The Only Way to Live
Phil. 4:4 has been my favorite verse since I was a little girl. I can still remember holding my Bible on my lap and underlining this short but powerful verse as my minister preached a sermon about Paul's attitude of joy even as he sat in a prison cell because of his...
He Sees You Hanging On
In a world filled with so many nations and people, it's easy to convince ourselves that God is way too busy to for our small struggles, our everyday concerns. Even in my own life, I find things on my to-do list being pushed from today to tomorrow to the next...
Looking For Rest?
Imagine an island covered with tiny huts or a forest filled with little cabins. As you move from one make-shift home to the next you discover that only one has a secure roof. All the rest give no protection from the sun, the rain, or the wind. Where would you...
