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!

My Prayer for You Today………..
I'm wordless the Wednesday, but as I read from Job this morning this verse seemed to jump out at me. I'm praying it for you this morning. May today be a day where you don't simply "hear" about God. May today be a day where you see Him with your own eyes.... Be still...
I Never Would Have Dreamed……..
When Evan was a young boy, he was about as shy as they come.Hiding behind my leg when people tried to talk to him, I can remember trying to pull him around to say "hi" and finally just saying, "He is very shy." Before he was even a teenager, he began taking piano...

A Psalm for Today…….
Psalm 20 In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on...
Just say it………
As a teacher, I'm more than happy to help a student...... if I know they need help. As a mom, I'm thrilled to be there for my kids........ if I know they need something. God knows everything already, but I think He longs to "hear" our needs straight from our mouths...
Healthy Perspective………..
Job sat in ashes, covered in boils. His children gone. Everything he worked for years to earn swept away. With a wife saying, "Curse God and die," and friends surrounding him, Job listened to their desperate attempts to make sense of his pain as they listed every...

New Deodorant and Other Concerns……..
Although a health issue like needing to find a new deodorant is not my usual topic choice, I feel the need this afternoon to share that I am definitely in search of some new magic formula. I realized this morning that you know your Saturday is somewhat "free" when...
Wear Your Retainers! Please!
In four years of blogging, I have never used my forum to speak to my children. However, this morning I felt this nudge to say something to all four of them publicly that I believe has a lesson in it for all of us. So, I write this not so much for the "retainer" lesson...
