Why We Went......................

Seeing this precious village woman holding the brochure for Nick's foundation seems like the only fitting way to begin this journey with you.

After all, Nick is the reason we journeyed to the other side of the world........

To somehow take our pain and use it for God's glory........

To somehow take Nick's love and share it with people who long to know the one and only God of Creation........

I have so much to share. I personally took over 2000 photographs, and honestly each one of them has a story of its own. So as the Lord leads, I will post a photo and the thoughts God puts on my heart.

I've missed you all more than words can express. I thought of you daily as we journeyed by airplane, train, camel, elephant, jeep, taxi..........

But for this morning, as I try to unpack, do laundry, sort through piles of mail, and simply come to grips with a new world view, I had to share this photo.............

This photo of why we went to India.

Nick, we love you. You were with us in so many ways............

Father, we love you even more. Your presence gave us strength when it seemed there was none left.

Until next time.....which may be in only a few hours!

My love and blessings are sent to each of you in a very special way today,

    My Complete Profile
    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, I found myself unable to stop writing. 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 therapy while also being my tiny corner of the world in which I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking the time to share part of your life with me. If we do not meet while on this planet, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at tammynischan@yahoo.com if you need to talk. I love making new friends, and I know firsthand how painful life can be when you feel alone in your grief or life struggles. God bless your life today, tomorrow, and the next! Tim and Tammy
