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 Words Won’t Come
It's one of those days when I've tried to start typing about six different times, and I've ended up backspacing and deleting every letter, every word, every thought. Sometimes my words just sound empty, and today is one of those days when "all I've got" isn't much to...
What It Means to be Inked……….
Although I have never gotten a tattoo, I have considered getting one on several occasions over the years. I've contemplated everything from a small cross to an Ichthus symbol to something like this: I've even thought about getting Joshua 1:9 or Nick and...
The Secret to Experiencing God……….
Do you ever have a moment when something "clicks" in your mind that you've known all along, and suddenly it becomes sharper, clearer, more explainable? As if an ocean wave laps over the shore in such a powerfully, beautiful way that the thousands of waves before it...
What if We Wait for Him………..
My quiet time today has left me with my mouth slightly open and my mind spinning. As my study took me to the call of Noah, Abraham, Gideon, and Paul, I was struck with the reality that "God called them to do things He wanted accomplished.....not things they were...
How the Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary………
Olivia and I are on spring break this week. We didn't plan a big vacation, although I'd love to be visiting Erich and Mallory or Evan right now! (I'm saving those visits for summer this year!) We decided to stay home and rest and get some things done around the house....
If It Wasn’t About Moses………
When I read the following passage in my study, I had to circle it. It jumped out at me in an extremely humbling way. "Even though Moses was an exile in the desert, he was right on God's schedule, right in the fullness of God's timing, right in the middle of God's...
Just Clay in the Potter’s Hands……….
If I imagine a container of Play-doh being dumped onto a table by a small child as what my life looks like in the eyes of God, I can't help but smiling. No wonder God loves children so much. They teach without even realizing it! Think about what a child does with...
Experiencing God…………..
As I looked through workbooks I already had on my shelf, I was drawn to one I started years ago but never finished. As I read the back cover, I felt like this study spoke directly to where I'm at today in my faith journey. EXPERIENCING GOD: Knowing and Doing the Will...
When a Book Changes You…..
Have you ever been sad when you reach the last page of a good book? Do you find yourself rereading the last few words several times thinking........."But what next, what now?" I remember last year when my high school classes were reading Hunger Games, that's how we...
The Imagery of God……..
This morning I've been reading about the destruction of the temple in AD 70 and how this relates to our lives as Christians today. I'm amazed all over again with thought of each of us being a "temple of God." Peter even refers to us as "living stones, being built into...
