12 ways pain makes you stronger

I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic lately. Not only because of the need to process things that have happened and are happening in my own life, but also as I love and encourage others who have openly shared their stories with me. So often I want to remove the hardship or eliminate the…

Hi, I’m Meg 👋 I’m a wife, writer, speaker, Hi, I’m Meg 👋

I’m a wife, writer, speaker, and mom of 7. My days are a mix of football games, little girl giggles, deep conversations with teenagers, laundry piles, and late-night writing sessions with a cup of protein coffee in hand.

I love Jesus with all my heart, and most of what I write and share flows out of the seasons where life has unraveled—loss, betrayal, infertility, and the kind of grief that leaves you breathless. Those hard, unwanted, places have become incredibly sacred to me because they’re where I’ve met the Lord most intimately.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping you discover what truly matters. My newest project is a brand new book called What We Find in the Dark, will launch in a few short months and it’s all about real life, lament, trust, and finding beauty with God in the very places we’d least expect.

But I’m not all heavy—I also love sharing everyday joy: fitness tips/tricks, ideas for how to make home and family life more beautiful, little glimpses of fashion and fun, and encouragement to live with intention and purpose in the everyday.

If you’re new here, welcome. 💛 If you’ve been around for a while, thank you for walking this journey with me. My hope is that this space feels like a warm kitchen table—where we can talk honestly about faith, family, and the mattering things.

Leave a caption below and let me know where you’re from! 🗺️📍
I was reading today in John 15 about abiding. And I was reading today in John 15 about abiding. And I wanted to share this thought with you: Abiding in Christ isn’t just a sweet idea—it’s the very lifeline of our faith. 🌿

To abide means more than a passing thought about God in the middle of a busy day. It is a continual connection…a deliberate choice to remain close…a steady dependence like a child to its mother. 

Jesus says, “Abide in me, and I in you” (John 15:4). This is not one-sided. It’s a mutual relationship—His life in us, and us choosing to stay rooted in Him.

Left on its own, a vine will grow wild. It will look full and green from the outside, but without careful tending, it produces little fruit. Lots of leaves, lots of tangled shoots…yet nothing that nourishes. 

A good vinedresser knows where to cut. He prunes what’s unproductive so that all the nutrients flow into what actually matters. The purpose of the vine isn’t appearance—it’s fruit. 🍇

And the fruit Jesus is after is not temporary achievements or outward success. It’s an inward transformation. 

It looks like Galatians 5:22—love when it would be easier to resent, joy in the middle of hardship, peace when everything feels uncertain, patience when the wait is long, kindness when the world feels cruel, goodness in the unseen places, faithfulness when no one applauds, gentleness in the face of harshness, and self-control when everything in us wants to give in.

That is the outcome of abiding. Not striving. Not proving. 

Not trying to muster up some sort of spiritual energy we don’t have. 

Just remaining. 

Just staying connected to the Vine that gives life.

And yes—pruning hurts. 

Sometimes God removes things we thought we needed. 

Sometimes He cuts back what we thought was growth. 

But His purpose is never harm. His hands are steady and in His eyes we find love and genuine kindness. He prunes so that more fruit can flourish.

What might change if you stopped striving to look fruitful, and simply chose to remain in Christ, letting Him grow what truly lasts?

The first week back is always the hardest. It’s The first week back is always the hardest. It’s awkward, it’s uncomfortable, and honestly—I’d rather quit before I even start. But here’s the truth: when I take care of myself, it blesses everyone around me.

So here’s the plan I’m stepping into this fall:
💪 Heavy lifting 5x/week (using the @1stphorm app—DM me if you want to do the same plan!)
🚴 30 min HIIT cycling daily for faster fat burn
🚶‍♀️ 10k steps/day (weighted vest when I can)
🥩 Prioritizing protein (1g per lb of goal weight) + clean, whole foods
💧 ½–1 gallon of water daily
🌙 7–9 hrs sleep, nightly reading & writing
🌿 Daily vitamins + Primal Queen beef liver (for hormones & energy)
🧹 No alcohol, no processed sugar, no screens before bed, no junk in my house

Why all this?

Because I want to feel strong, energized, clear-headed, and fully present. I want to serve my family and others with everything I’ve got. And I know that when I care well for myself, it overflows into every corner of my life.

Here’s to showing up fully—body, mind, and soul. ✨
