Hello. I’m Tasha.

I am a melancholy dreamer, wife to Matt, and mama to three little warriors: two wild boys and one little lady. I love french fries, world maps, spicy soup that makes me sweat, coffee, and Stabilo pens. As long as I can remember, I’ve lived and stood in places where cultures collide, wondering how to hold the collisions together. Jesus is my hope for every collision made whole.

Throughout the Bible, we find evidence that God values, provides and works through relationships. But for most of us, relationships are difficult, and cultivating authentic friendships can seem nearly impossible. Loneliness has become an epidemic that most of us are familiar with. But what if God has given examples to follow? What if authentic friendship is not only possible, but part of our purpose as women of God? What if we can choose to belong to one another? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Join us this fall for 3 weeks as we learn from the biblical friendship between Ruth and Naomi, hear from women in our own community, and find space to get to know each other over coffee, tea and cookies.

Matt took the day off today. We had brunch and then took a long bike ride together. It reminded me of riding our bikes along the Dreisam in Freiburg. I had forgotten just how much I love bike riding with him. #meandhim #onethousandgifts #grateful #reminders #remembering #present #unexpectedgifts #bikeriding

“Living everyday in the presence of those who refuse to acknowledge your humanity takes great courage.” -Min Jin Lee I finished this book in tears last night. It’s stunning, important, and the stories in it will stay with me for a very long time. #pachinko #minjinlee #books

‪On Sundays, we usually try to do a little “forest bathing” as a family. It’s not magic, but it almost always resets us in such a needed way. Walking under a canopy of trees together feels like a bit of shalom. What about you? What do you think about forest therapy? How does your family reset? Or, how do you reset? #shinrinyoku‬ #forestbath #familyforesttherapy #sundayrest #togetherness #reset #onethousandgifts #creation #ministryoftrees

Sometimes I wish I could remove the veil of our everyday details and see what our plain and mundane look like in the spiritual realm. It would be more breathtaking, intense, and powerful than any special effects we see on screen, I’m sure. This is the life of faith we live, isn’t it? I can’t see the life-giving water being offered to me as I read the words on this page, but how my weary soul feels it something deep. May we be that much more aware of what’s really going on in our everyday. Holy Spirit, we welcome you into our everyday details. Where we are blind, teach us to see and believe. #morningstudy #bible #anytimeisagoodtime #onethousandgifts #everydaydetails #holyspiritcome #livewithwonder #livingwater #wearysoul #thirsty #faith #teachustosee
