I stood in the bathroom the other morning, my hair still dripping, and saw the cobwebs in the corners. Standing on my tiptoes, I swiped a washcloth along the walls, scrubbing away the evidence of my neglect. I should be more organized. More scheduled. Have a calendar somewhere that I can write, “clean bathroom”…
The skies were painted pink that night. Swirls and arches of color that filled the shadows with rainbows. We sat in the dining room and ate grilled ham with pineapple, scooped up spoonfuls of broccoli salad, and laughed until our sides ached. When we left to drive home, long after the last shades of pink…
This morning I read the story of Jesus showing up again. He already had once, you know. He could have said, “Well, y’all had your chance.” But He didn’t. He just kept showing up, over and over. It was after his death and resurrection that He walked right into the disciples lives again. They were back in the…
The snowflakes slide past my window, swirling brightly against the gray of the sky. We are bundling in sweatshirts and jackets and gloves. Covering feet with wool socks and ears with warm hats. The truck carries us across the frozen fields. I marvel that on this mid-February day we are in two-wheel drive behind the…
I have a confession. All the time I am telling people that the best thing they can do is spent time in the Word. Facing infertility? Read about God. Struggling with depression? Read about God. Afraid of the future? Read about God. It’s my go-to answer because it is the single most important thing that…

Absolutely beautiful! I’m enjoying your book thus far girl! 🙂 ~ Blessings, Amy
Thank you, dear Amy.
What a lovely quote!
Hey Tasha, I love your book!!!! I’ve been having computer problems combined w/ not-enough-time-in-the-day challenges, so I didn’t get to read it till last night (despite thinking about it a lot). I love your open honesty and vulnerability. It is such an intensely felt issue that doesn’t always have happy endings and nice pat answers… And you did SOOO well at addressing those with I’ve-been-there sensitivity; I’m-walking-through-this personal connection; and what-I’ve-found-you-can-too HOPE. True beauty rising from the ashes.
I hope you find encouragement in my saying (with faith & certainty) that this is only Part 1 of your story, Tasha. I can’t wait to read the updated and expanded versions. 🙂 Rhonda
