I think I am shrinking! This is a picture of my family (yes, they are all my kids except for my husband – to my left- and my brother – far left in front).
We certainly fill a photo lens, don’t we?!?!
This was the night of Nick’s big day! Our town hosted Nick Nischan Day where Nick was given a key to the city and was surprised by a visit from Mike Furrey, wide receiver with the Detroit Lions! Nick has been battling cancer for nearly 6 years (he is the one in the front center).
I was just looking back through pictures and thought I’d share this little memory with all of you.
I guess I am just realizing how amazing God is, and how He can take a horrible situation and make it exciting and rewarding.
God is like that! I love the verses in Psalm 126 that say, Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
We have truly had many tears in the Nischan house, but we have determined to continue to carry the “seed” (God’s Word) along the way….and God has been faithful to continue to give us songs of joy in return!
I hope that whatever you are facing, you will determine to face it with God’s Word alongside you! You will be blessed if you do!



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!

You have such an amazing attitude and a beautiful family as well.
