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!

What It Means to Be a Sanctuary………

Needing a Post-It Note!
Have you ever had a big decision to make and longed that God would send you something as tiny as a Post-it Note sharing His plan for your life? I feel as if I have walked in need of a Post-it Note for years now, and so far one has not appeared. I try not to talk a lot...
How a Reserved U-Haul Makes Me Feel…….Really……..
Erich called bright and early this morning to let us know that their U-Haul was reserved for 8 a.m. May 30th! He was so excited, especially because he found a $100 off coupon for the rental! As I listened to his voice, I could tell there was nothing but joy in his...
When Stillness Speaks…………..
This morning I find myself needing to listen more than speak. I know that the sharing of "my heart" never compares with the power of "His Words," and today I'm especially feeling the need to step back and allow God to have all the room He needs to speak to you and to...
An Almost Picture-less Weekend………
As we hugged goodbye in the driveway yesterday, I realized that I had not been taking pictures since Erich and Mallory arrived on Friday evening. I snapped a few with my phone, but I never actually got out a camera! I remember thinking, "I should take a picture," as...
How Are You Getting Around???
I was driving home the other day and found myself behind this semi. At the same time, I was listening to Joyce Meyer on a CD, and she was talking about pride. I had to snap a picture!! (Riding with me may not always be the safest experience. ) This morning I was...
