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!

Why the Holy Spirit Matters………..

What Walking with God Looks Like……..

Rainy Days: Two Ways of Thinking
As I sat here reading the Bible this morning, I heard the rain began to pour outside. My first thought was, "Oh no. We didn't get the yard mowed. My second thought was, "It's going to be a mess getting in and out of schools today." But then, out of nowhere, I...
Believing This Changes Everything About Life

The Boston Marathon and God………..
Psalms 50:15 .call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. After watching the news for a while last night, it was easy to feel overwhelmed with the reality of what happened yesterday. I woke up this morning wondering what was going...
If You’re Waiting for a Sign, Today is Your Day!
There have been times in my life when I've really needed God to show up and make things clear for me. There have been other times when out of nowhere God has affirmed something that I hadn't even turned to Him with for an answer. And I believe there have been a...
When Adam and Eve Weren’t There………
I'd never really thought about God coming down to walk with Adam and Eve and not being able to find them, but that's what happened after they ate fruit from the one tree God had told them was off limits. Now, I'm sure God "knew" where Adam and Eve were when He...
When the Future Shapes Us………
Phil LeMaster, my minister for years, use to challenge our congregation to read through the Bible in a year. Every January I would have this big dream of doing just that. By February, as I reached the book of Leviticus and all the sacrifices the Israelites were...
Something Happens When We Fall in Love with God……….
If you've ever watched a relationship blossom between two people, you notice a pattern that is nearly always involved. First, two people notice each other. Something draws them together. Maybe it's a character trait or a common interest, but whatever the case they...
Overcoming Writer’s Block and Life’s Hurdles
I don't know what's up with me this week? A blank screen overwhelms me. Words evade me. My thoughts are jumbled, bouncing from North Korea's threats to Olivia's after-school schedule to what's going on with all of our boys to what I need to get accomplished at work...
