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!

Your Account Has Been Credited in a Big Way! Thank You for Your Prayers!

How We Can Do All Things………..
As I was reading Philippians 4 this morning, I discovered a verse in a whole new way!Many of us have memorized Phil. 4:13 and probably quote it often (at least in our heads) when we are facing seemingly impossible events in our lives:I can do all things through Christ...
The Next Thing……..
At She Speaks this weekend, I was struck by a quote of Elizabeth Elliott's that was shared in one of the workshops. Being called by God is all about "doing the next thing" for Him. As I sat and listened and thought about my life, I knew that "the next thing" for me...
When Life is Filled by the Act of Emptying…..
When we reach of place of letting go or emptying our lives of the things weighing us down, there comes a sense of being handed more than we could ever ask or imagine. Letting go and emptying ourselves of worry gives more time for joy Letting go and emptying our need...
