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!

Think "Up" Even When You’re Looking Down……
I was walking through our kitchen the other day, and noticed the sun shining in through our curtains in a way I had never seen before. I tried to figure out how this happened, and it never really made total sense to me. I guess the folds in the curtains were just...
After Revelation……..
I'm always struck by the stark contrast between the energy, momentum, and majestic events as the book of Revelation ends and the calmness, serenity, and simple events as the book of Genesis begins. This morning I was thinking about the end times and how the new...
Making the choice……….
My closet has been driving me crazy! I braced myself this morning and dove in full-steam. Removing things I do not wear anymore, color-coordinating the things I do wear. I realized black must be my favorite color! Now, I can stand back and look at my closet without...
Every Goal has Obstacles…….
As I look ahead into 2012, I am very aware that along the way there will be circumstances and choices that affect the outcome of my goals for the year. Realizing this today, helps me face tomorrow. I wonder if Jesus knew ahead of time that he would face the devil in...
Inspired and Committed!
Is there something you've wanted to do for a long time, but you just haven't mustered the determination to carry it through to completion? I can answer that question with a great big, "YES!" and this is what I'm doing today to change things in my life. I'm setting...
Remember Us, Evan!!!
It's hard to believe our time with Evan has already ended! The past week and a half have gone by so quickly! We had such a nice visit! Today, we headed back to the airport for our "see you soon" hug good-bye. Evan, I hope when you slip on one of these t-shirts in...
I’m Still Here!!!!!!!
Finding time to blog the past few days has been a bit tricky..... All of our kids have been home, my parents have been in town, my brother and his wife came for Christmas Day, and we have had a house full of love and laughter. We missed my sister, who spent the...
Merry Christmas Eve!!
It's a fairly warm and foggy morning here in Kentucky, so the feeling of Christmas definitely has to come from the heart not the weather. Olivia keeps saying, "It doesn't feel like Christmas." I wonder why Christmas has such a huge association with snow when so much...
A Nativity Perspective for the Season….
I wonder if Mary became a little agitated as Jesus' birth drew near. Discomfort, pain, a barn for a hospital....I wonder if she looked at Joseph and thought, "Seriously, is this the best you can do for the mother of God's Son?" I wonder if Joseph ever felt...
The Power of Faith………
Life is filled with situations that leave us feeling vulnerable. Physically, we seek protection by carrying an umbrella, living in a house, having insurance...... Something inside of us realizes that alone we are weak, defenseless, in need of help. Spiritually, we...
