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!

Facing Your Fear………
Sometimes in life, we turn around and realize that we are up against something bigger than ourselves........ more than we can handle. Terrifying. Sometimes this very "thing" can get the best of us, causing us to back down and run the other way. But many times, the...

"It Is What It Is" but SO IS HE!!!
I've been called to some hard places in life. I'm sure you have too. I could question, argue, whine, complain, and doubt all day long every day. I could choose to let this be it. My destiny could be wrapped up in "She's lost two children, poor thing." But, there's...

My Cup Overflows….
I woke up this morning to the sound of Tim's voice instead of my alarm clock, which immediately told me I had overslept! I hopped up and began getting ready and immediately my thoughts were on all the things I probably wouldn't have time to do. Read the Bible. Write...
