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. I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure! I am SO thanking God for the upcoming three-day Labor Day weekend!! You’d think with school starting this week and the kids gone for eight hours a day, I’d feel free, refreshed and at a loss to what to do with all this extra time…NOT!!! Getting back into a schedule and ramping up with school, […]

As I look around my life, I’m struck by how much time I have wasted during my forty-one years on earth. The most glaring issue I see is that I’ve spent way too much time being fearful and stupidly ignoring ‘the signs’ I’ve received along the road of life. Case in point. I graduated from […]

Lately I’ve been thinking about the good and bad people throughout the world. The good people have a little bit of bad in them and the bad people have a little bit of good in them. And then there are people like me that are somewhere in between with a little bit of both. Sigh. […]

Keeping my priorities straight is one of my most difficult daily tasks. Often, I find myself off of the beaten path and have no clue how I got there. Sigh. I absolutely despise that this happens as frequently as it does!!! What is even more frustrating is when I ‘forget’ what my priorities are in […]

I only caught the tail-end of Elon Musk’s interview on Sunday night’s 60 Minutes, but it made quite the impression on me. As a matter of fact, I haven’t been able to think about much else. In case you have no idea who the heck Elon Musk is (no worries, I was clueless, too), let […]

As seen in Thursday’s blog, taking care of yourself is crucial in order to be a valuable servant in the world we live in. Clearly, when we don’t get the rest, exercise or God’s Power (through scripture and prayer) on a daily basis we become useless. However, the next step in the process is to […]

When was the last time you looked around and noticed someone in need? Today? Yesterday? Last month? Did you do something about it? Uh oh. I’m not sure I like my answer. The ugly truth is that often we use excuses, judgments and fear to keep us from helping others. We spend way too much […]

The start of a New Year brings about much discussion of resolutions, goals, plans, objectives and getting ourselves motivated to make this year better than the last. Clearly, the year ahead is on my mind because I’ve already written two blogs in the past few weeks about making plans and moving on. Honestly, I thought […]

God’s Encouragement by Meg celebrates two years of Tuesday/Thursday postings today! WOOHOO! Seems strange how quickly the time has gone and how much I’ve enjoyed this blog adventure. Considering I knew nothing about writing blogs and less about my Savior, Jesus Christ – I am amazed at the growth that God has allowed me to […]

Sacrifice is like a four-letter, dirty word. When people use the word, sacrifice, others tend to look at them like they have lost their mind and clearly, would rather them not say the word…ever. It reminds me of another word that gets a bad rap – obedience – because it invokes the same kind of […]
