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!

Belated Birthday Memories…
I realized I never had shared pictures from Olivia's cake-decorating birthday party, so I wanted to say "thank you" again to Kim for all of her hard work and "thank you" to Brooke for staying and being a wonderful assistant! I think the girls had a lot of fun and, who...

God-Sized Plans………….
Before I begin this post, I want to say "thank you" for your prayers as I have been under the weather. I am doing much better today. Shew! When they were safely out of the city, one of the angels ordered, "Run for your lives! And don't look back or stop anywhere in...
Drink Lots of Water and Get Plenty of Rest……..
Tuesday at school, I started feeling very nauseated. By the end of the school day, my head was throbbing. Organizing my desk before heading home became a monumental feat. Since putting on my pajamas Tuesday around 4:30, life has consisted of sleeping, being sick, and...
Looking Back………
But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26 This may be one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible for me. We teach it to our kids in Sunday school as if things like this happen every day. You can find all kinds of cartoon pictures...
What is it going to take?????
At dawn the next morning the angels became insistent. "Hurry," they said to Lot. "Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the destruction of the city!" When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and...
Mixed Emotions……….
Today is Olivia's 14th birthday! I'll never forget the day pictures arrived in the mail of Olivia's little face. We had 6 days to say "yes" or "no." The minute her eyes made contact with mine, I fell in love with this little girl on the other side of the world....
Alarms should be Alarming……..
It's Friday, and I'm pretty sure the week has caught up with my body.The snooze alarm was a pest this morning, a gnat that kept swarming.......and I kept batting it away........Until I realized I had missed my chance for a leisurely morning. Now every second of the...
Sunrise, Sunset……….
I love that God paints beautiful skies, morning and evening. It's almost as if He is chooses to remind us daily that on either side of dark times........ He is there. We don't have to wonder, when the sun sets, if the earth will see sunlight again. We know. We trust...
