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!

Who Could Ask for More?!?
This weekend my friend's daughter and son-in-law brought me a gift from Canada. When I read the words on the sign, my eyes filled with tears. This may be my very favorite message sign ever......... When I think of Adrienne and Nick not being here, my heart can...
Memory Stones………
Olivia found a cute idea on Pinterest to take the place of a guest registry at a shower. Every guest writes a little note on a stone and places it in a jar. We couldn't find stones, so we changed the idea a bit and used flat, glass beads instead. The messages were...
Why Jesus was a Great Teacher…….
I'm serving in a different role this year in education. I have the privilege of working with teachers within all ten schools in our district. I get to go in lots of different classrooms and be a part of many hours of after-school meetings and professional development...
When the Teaching of Jesus Gets Hard…………
I never would have predicted that this morning as I read further into the Gospels that I would stumble upon a moment in Jesus' time on earth that bothers me. I've read it many times. Actually, I remember writing about this very passage several years ago when we were...
The Intensity of the Gospel Message………
As Jesus enters His time of ministry, the pace of the Gospel message seems to kick into high gear. Miracles, teachings, deep discussions with His disciples, and special encounters with all sorts of broken people fill the last three years of Jesus' life with intensity...
What Keeps You Going??
I've spent a lot of years struggling with the fact that "I am what I eat." I've always had a weakness for sweets, a love for breads, and a desire for diet pop. About five weeks ago, I gave up pop all together. It hasn't been the easiest transition, but I'm finally...
We were Created for Suspense by a Suspense-Filled God………
I didn't take my camera last night. I'm not sure why. I looked at it several times sitting on my kitchen table, but I decided it would be nice to just watch a game for a change and not be hidden behind a camera lens. I've taken so many soccer pictures this year, and...
Stepping Into a Great Story……….
I've always been drawn to written communication. Mom reminds me that when I was young, I would often choose to write letters to her and dad and lay them on their pillow when there was something big I wanted to say but struggled to get out through spoken words. As a...
What Everyone Wants From Jesus and What He Wants From Us………
As I read through the Gospels, I'm almost overwhelmed as I realize how the crowds pressed in on Jesus every chance they could. Heal me. Heal him. Heal her. Heal us. Remove this evil spirit. Raise this person from the dead. Constant requests for personal, yet very...
