Battles

Posted on June 14, 2017 by meghays

I was saddened to hear of the impending divorce between Lysa TerKeurst and her husband.  Is no one safe?  I guess not ☹ In case you don’t know who Lysa is, she is the founder and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries.  Additionally, she is an author, blog writer, speaker and teacher.  Her mission is to […]

Attitude and Effort

Posted on July 6, 2015 by meghays

Last week I posted a quote by Billy Cox – a motivational speaker – on Facebook that read, “The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and your effort.” As I’ve contemplated this piece of advice, it has occurred to me that most of us are a bunch of […]

Stop the Comparisons!!!!

Posted on December 16, 2014 by meghays

Last week’s blogs were all about taking the plunge to accomplish our life’s purpose no matter where we currently reside.  This week I would like to encourage us to stop one of the worst things we can do to sabotage our own personal journey… COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS!!!! Unfortunately, we act like we are all […]

GEM is THREE!!!

Posted on December 2, 2014 by meghays

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been writing GEM for three years!  WOW!!! The time has flown and I’ve absolutely loved every minute of this new road I’m traveling! God truly works amazing miracles in the lives of those who follow His guidance.  I have firsthand knowledge of the changes, blessings and growth that can […]

What Do You Offer?

Posted on October 2, 2014 by meghays

The El Salvador mission story I blogged about on Tuesday really has had me thinking lately about what God really wants me to be doing. Not that I’m going to pack up and move to a far off land and build schools, hospitals and orphanages, but it does have me wondering what I bring to […]

Back to the Grind

Posted on August 28, 2014 by meghays

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, […]

What Matters Most

Posted on July 29, 2014 by meghays

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 […]

Priority Management

Posted on July 1, 2014 by meghays

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 […]

Relying on God

Posted on May 15, 2014 by meghays

Have you ever noticed how everything always works itself out? For example, that final exam in Calculus when you were a sophomore in college that you fretted about for the entire semester…do you even know what you scored?  Probably not. Or what about that appraisal that came in too high for the house you were […]

Risky Business

Posted on April 1, 2014 by meghays

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 […]
