Being the women God wants us to be is more than just learning to cook and clean and take care of children. While as a wife and mother I do those things every day, several times and for many hours, and they are very important, they do not define who I am to God.

Woman was created to help man. She is His Gift {for him}, and this is a heart issue. 

As I struggle and learn {and then struggle and learn. again.} I pray that writing down some of my thoughts and realizations about God and who He is can be an encouragement to whomever visits and reads these ponderings.

Hi. My name is Tascha, and my personal journey with the Lord began when I was a small child. I trusted Christ {learn more about this here} {& here} as my Savior at the age of 4 and learned much in Sunday school and from my mother.

As I got older, I did not stay close to the Lord through personal study and this caused confusion and sin in my life. During my junior year in college I got ‘reassurance’ of my salvation, but it really was just that: a reassurance. I was already a child of God, and his chastening brought me back to Him.

I began my journey as a wife in 2003 [just after college graduation], but everyday I realize how much farther this journey must take me before I reach the end.

I began my journey as a mother about 2 months later, and our firstborn [K] came into our arms in April ’04.  Our next 3 blessings were born in April ’07 [A], October ’08 [M], and June ’11 [C].

This journey as parents is a blessing and a conviction each and every day!

My personal musings are simply thoughts and verses that have struck me through individual study or attentive listening in church {not always an easy task with small children}.

I have {mostly} been a stay-at-home-mom, learning about God & life, womanhood, friendship, nutrition, needle-work, natural health, photography & graphic design!

Some days I stay on track. Some days I do not. Some weeks I may post several thoughts. Some months I may not post at all. Often I share {{from the archives}} on my facebook page!

Such is my life in the ‘on track’ – ‘off track’ swing. It’s a fun ride, and I hope you will enjoy the glimpse you can spy through this blog.
