By all accounts, today marks the end of our last week of the summer. Although my daughter’s first day of school was on Monday, we pulled her out of school on Friday and snuck away for a quick family adventure. But that was our final hoorah of the season, and the rest of our kids … More Sunday #28: “I Keep Losing Jesus!”
This August 29th will mark four years since I’ve met my husband! In those four years, we’ve fallen in love, gotten engaged and married, blended our families, moved several times, adopted a puppy, and welcomed twins into our family. It’s been busy, to say the least! I have written previously about how we fell in … More Before the First Date

Those afternoons and … More Sunday #24: Megan Speaks in Church!!!

Now, instead of mindlessly scrolling Instagram, I’ll find … More Sunday #23: God’s Plan Is Greater Than My Potential

I was born and raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so I went regularly for nineteen years until I stopped attending in 2019. For the six years after that, I considered myself an “ex-mormon.” Until this year. This is my story. … More My Faith Journey: From Mormon to Ex-Mormon and Back Again
Was my divorce part of some plan? Is this what God wanted for me? Or had I ruined God’s plan? If I was in charge of writing my own life story, I don’t think I would have ever written it this way, but my perspective is limited compared to that of God’s. … More Was My Divorce Part of God’s Plan?
