Nehemiah was a working man. Cupbearer to the King of Persia, he lived at the Palace and served the highest official in the land. When God burdened Nehemiah’s heart with the condition of his homeland, Israel, he wasn’t looking around for the most capable man. Nehemiah was a cupbearer, not a builder. Yet, God saw…
People are so hard to work with. There are always disagreements. There are always hurts. There are always frustrations. It’s a painful business! Every church or group that I’ve been involved with has produced the same outcome. Joy and pain. Both. They are interlocking. It’s impossible to have one without the other. Pain-filled, difficult people fill our…
There we were, sitting around her kitchen table. Her whole house is warmth and comfort and gentleness. She asks the questions everyone should ask– looks right at me and digs right into the deepest-truest part. “And how are you doing, really?

I did not mean to treat her differently. I did not mean to change how I saw her or thought of her. Yet, unconsciously, unintentionally, I did. Hurt marks and scars. It leaves the victim with wounds that must be faced. And it was not just her actions. It was my pride and my stubbornness…

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
