The Real Me ...

So ... Ive read many blogs that some of my friends have put together so I thought Id join in the fun and show you the real Tasha.


Hello there, my name is Tasha and I am 20 years of age. I have an amazing job as a Nursery Nurse, its so amazing to be apart of a childs development and to watch them grow in so many different ways, for that I am so blessed as I know that it is helping me to prepare for my own family.

 I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, I was baptised on the 29th November 2003 at the age of 11 .. 9 years later and I can say it was one of the best choices I could have ever made in my life. Church Life hasnt always been easy, there has been times when I have sat there and thought did I really make the right choice?  Before I became a member of the church I was just your average Christian, I rarely attended church on a Sunday and would just go about my day as if it was any normal day. For many years we had the missionaries knocking at our door but we were the typical "No thank you we dont have time" family. Eventually one day at my mums work she was invited to attend a "Mormon" get together from her manager who also was a Mormon .. From that day on both myself and my mum began to have the discussions, my mother was baptised first in the March and then I followed in the November. Its not always been an easy ride alot of friends were lost through the choices we made to become members of the Church, but I see it as if you cant love me for me then those people are of little importance.

Since joining the church I have had some of the most heartbreaking and painful trials I think I could ever go through. They say they make you stronger, there was a time where I didnt believe this and I was so angry with church and my Heavenly Father for the pain I was feeling and for the pain others around me were feeling but thanks to the wonderful examples and amazing friends and the bestest mum ever I was able to pull through and partly overcome the pain I was feeling. Il admit, years down the line I still feel the pain from some of my trials but I know that my Heavenly Father wouldnt give me anything I couldnt deal with. I am a choice daughter of God and I have a purpose and I need to remember this. Im sure theres many people out there who have and do feel this way but you must always remember that you are loved and that each and everyone of us has a great purpose and that with faith we will succeed. A great scripture that always helps to pull me through the dark times is

For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand. D&C 58:4 

Ive spent some many years focusing on the negatives in my life that I have pushed so many people away. For that im sorry. I hope my blogs will help my friends and others around me to understand the type of person I am beyond all the smiles and jokes.

So heres to looking to the future .. The future is only as bright as you make it.
