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 You’re Just Not Sure What To Do
Have you ever had to make a big decision? When I do, I sometimes make a list of all the things I can think of to support saying "yes" and a list of all the things that would cause me to say "no." Seeing the reality of what could happen as a result of my choice written...
Wisdom, Raccoons, Cat Food, and Dating

What Bow Mama and Horton Bros. and Brown Pharmacy Mean to Our Family…………

Taking Time to Listen……..
I figured out my summer-writing problem this morning. It's not earth shattering, but it's the truth. During the school year, I get up an hour and half before I go to work so that I can have my quiet time. I love to have time to read and pray and just listen to what...
If We’re Friends on Facebook, You Already Know………
The past ten days have literally been a blur. I've tried to keep up on Facebook by adding photo albums of special occasions. In the past week and a half our family has experienced..... the graduation of the class of 2013 (Nick's graduating class), a very special...
When Chapters End………
I love to think of life as a story. A story being written as we move and breathe. The Bible says God is the "author" of our faith, and I have to believe that He pens our day much like a modern-day author pens a novel. I've read a lot of books on writing and what...

Looking For Direction?
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 No matter how uncertain the future seems. No matter how unclear. God longs to lead the way down a path of purpose. Hoping you'll turn to His Words today. They make all the difference.
God-Sized Assignments
I've been reading this morning about the importance of "walking by faith, not by sight," about "God-sized assignments," about "hearing God's call and responding." I've sat here wondering what in the world I'm doing in my life right now that requires any more than...
Two Questions to Ask Before You Approach God
I haven't met many people who feel like their prayer life is exactly where they'd like it to be.We tend to feel like we don't pray enough or we wonder if God is even hearing us when we do pray.For some reason, our ability to communicate with God seems so much more...
