I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide. However, God has given me the gift of gab and a talent to write, so I have decided to do what I do best to help others.

Tomorrow we are on our way to the mountains. Okay, so we are making a few pit stops along the way, but it is definitely the beginning of our Colorado adventure via Tennessee from Texas. Just thinking about the driving to be done makes my palms sweat and my head hurt. I’m estimating about 50 […]

Let me just say…God is so COOL! Yesterday, I received three correspondences from friends about how GEM has been helping them and that they are glad to know they are not alone!

As I’ve just written about all the graduates a few weeks ago, I would be remiss to exclude my dear Chase’s Kindergarten graduation today. Yes sir, my baby has completed the first year of his school career! Where does the time go? I find this an exciting step for my kiddo. But with this thrilling […]

As I’ve powered through many a workout these past few months (getting ready for bathing suit season), I’ve thought, “WOW! I’m a rock star!” Yep, that’s what I’ve been thinking because normal “Meg” would rather snuggle back in bed and lazily drift through each day. BUT…I haven’t. Shocking. Instead, I’ve gotten up day in and […]
