The milking is finished and we’re sitting on bales of hay. The calves are greedily drinking their milk and the crunch of hay stills the barn. He’s talking and sharing hopes and when he says the words five years I stiffen. Breath snatches and I blink hard. “I don’t want to be here in five years.”…
Part One Part Two Part Three Can we back up for a second? Of course we can. I know, I know. I told you there was a blind date coming and you’re wondering about that. But this is important, I promise. Remember how I told you that I was starting to feel pretty insecure about…
He picked me. Proposed in the living room of his house on the farm. The one with the ceiling made of an old dance floor. There wasn’t a ring (until later) but he haltingly, hesitantly, hopefully asked. He asked me to be his, to marry him, follow God along side him, to be his companion…
When we were dating, my husband and I spent an afternoon pouring over a map. He loves to travel and spent his single years working all over the Eastern United States (and one amazing trip to the South Pacific) with Mennonite Disaster Services. He tells stories about Mississippi after a hurricane, Alabama after tornadoes, West…
I couldn’t sleep last night. Again. The rain was falling on our tin roof so I sat on the couch and listened to the symphony. When five o’clock snuck up, I sat down at the computer to catch up reading a few blogs. And in the reading the question was asked, “What is saving your…

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
