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 Backing Up is Easier Than Moving Forward……
I've started about ten different blog posts this morning. I've deleted them all. I'm just finding myself in one of those little seasons where my own words get on my nerves, like I'm trying to think of something to say just to have something to say. Ironically, this is...
Give-Away for Someone Who Needs Comfort…….
If you or someone you love is in the midst of a time of loss, I would love to share a couple of books with you that helped me in my early days of grief. Please leave a comment below that includes your email address, and I will have a drawing this Friday for a winner...
How To Please Him………..
I don't know if you are anything like me, but if you are, then you have a hidden desire to keep everyone around you happy. And if you've been like me for very long, you've slowly started to realize that doing this is not always possible. People are people. Everyone...
Almost Wordless Wednesday………….
It's one of those mornings where I've spent way too much time checking the weather channel and WSAZ for any sign of a school delay. The temperature here teeters between 32 and 34 degrees with a steady, bitter cold rain falling from the sky. My Bible reading this...
What We Need Daily………
A lot of my time at work is spent with teachers trying to come up with ways to help kids become better readers and writers. I often hear about the struggle teachers have with filling in the gaps from what children missed out on at home before starting school..... ...
Rain in January??
It's January, and if you have kids or if you are a teacher (smiles), you know rain isn't what you hope to see falling from the sky this time of year. Yesterday sounded like monsoon season outside as we sat in Sunday school and then as we spent our Sunday afternoon...
Fully Present………..
It's Friday morning at 6 a.m. and here I sit, sipping my coffee and wondering how in the world one hour can rush by so quickly....... A little time in the kitchen, giving Peppy a morning treat, staring a pot of coffee, and reading a bit while waiting for it to...
How Holy Should We Be?
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." I Peter 1:15-16 In a world where there is so much evil, it's easy to lower our standards just a little bit for the sake of a good joke or a little humor....
My First Thought on a Good Morning……….
No matter what kind of day faces me, I love when my first thought of the morning is of Him. There's nothing like rolling over on my pillow and hearing myself think, "I need you, God, to make it through this day." It seems like the mornings I get up determined to get...
The Best Security Alarm System………
May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure. Psalm 20:1 I'm reading a great book right now in which a man, in search of his own faith, leaves his world to literally "walk the Bible." When I finish the book, I'll share more....
