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!

A Heart Question
The King of Moab was terrified. The Israelites were approaching his people after destroying the Amorites. He knew the Moabites were next. So he did what any king would do in such a critical moment, but it probably wasn't the best plan available. He sent some of his...
What God Can Do With Blurred Vision

Why I Had to Go to Jail
Sitting on the hard floor with my feet extended,the contrast of my warm winter boots nestled between two sets of rubber flip-flops on bare feet struck me. One inmate had carefully written her initials in ink above her toes, because even though they were only rubber...

When Eaglets Fly
I've thought a lot this week about what a mommy eagle must do after her babies learn to fly. I keep coming back to this: She must keep flying. She surely doesn't return to her nest and pout (which I have done before). She surely doesn't quit eating (which I sometimes...
The Gift of Friendship
I spent some time last night talking to one of the models who works with the same agency as Olivia. I could tell she needed encouragement. I could tell she felt insecure. Beautiful but doubting herself, she was wrestling with so many different things about her future....
What Happens When We Stop "Being Afraid"
Right before Nick was diagnosed with his first brain tumor at the age of 7 in 2002, he was part of a musical at our church entitled, "Fish Tales." This music was all about being strong and courageous as you share the love of Jesus. Nick loved that musical!! He sang...
Why Today is Important
There's plenty of reasons today is important. There's the overly-said reasons like, "Every day is a gift from God," or "Today is the "present".....which makes it a gift." or "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." But, there's also some other reasons...
Deserts and Donkeys
Do you ever feel like your routine is dried out and boring, like you are following donkeys around in the desert in search of grass. With every step, do you feel the unbearable heat, the need for relief, and the frustration of being surrounded by situations that seem...
