Hey!

Hey! Welcome to my updated website! My name is Megan Wurzelbacher. I am a Christian, wife, and homeschool mama to my four K’s (in that order always).

I created my first blog several years ago as a creative outlet for the calling I feel God has placed on my life. But after moving into a new state, starting a new real estate career, and just taking time to settle into a new community I stopped writing. Lately, I have really felt God calling me back to what I love to do and what he created me to do. I love to share my journey and be my real, imperfect self. So, if you are looking for professional social media pictures, listening for a quiet background in any videos I post, or expecting what has become the normal filter-obsessed social media influencers you will not find that here! I hope to reach out and create a community of women who feel they too can just be themselves and let go of all the unrealistic expectations we often place on ourselves and others.

I have a passion to continue growing in my personal relationship with God and share that journey with others. I hope to represent who God is to others but often fail to do so as I am not perfect. I am often too honest, constantly speaking my mind without running it through a much-needed filter. I rarely, okay usually never, have the patience needed to make it past breakfast without some kind of meltdown (from either me or my kids but… usually from all of us, together, at the same time). I am nowhere near an expert on theology. I read my Bible daily, but I am not so great at memorizing scripture.  I am loud, our whole family is loud, there is kind of a lot of us, so we have to be loud to be heard.

I published my first book in 2018,(you can find all the info on my website) and I will finish my second one sometime in my lifetime. Maybe.  Just don’t hold your breath on that one. I share my journey of pregnancy loss with others through guest writing for other blogs and online magazines. Any downtime I may get I love to spend writing and reading.

Basically, I am just a regular legging-wearing homeschool mom who needs coffee to survive, buys organic produce but hits up Chick-fil-A- A on the way home from the grocery and dreams of going to Hobby Lobby alone one day when all my kids are moved out and off to college.

Learning to Speak Life

As parents, we teach our kids to treat others how they want to be treated. We teach them to speak kindly to others. We teach them to make good choices. However, we often forget the greatest teaching comes from modeling the behavior.

We know the power of words. Words can build up and encourage or tear down and destroy. Unfortunately, as parents, we often become passive with our words or forget the weight of the power in them. Everything we say and how we say it becomes a part of how our children speak to themselves. This then affects how they view themselves as a person. It also dictates how they treat others.
