Megan’s Story
I grew up in a military family surrounded by vibrant Catholic community. I fell in love with Jesus at an early age and never looked back. As I grew, I also started spinning words like my mom and dreamed of joining the Army like my dad.
In time, God led me to become both a soldier and Catholic writer. Several years into my military service, I began facing painful progressive health issues, some with no cure. Yet in the depths of suffering I’ve discovered the sheer heights of God’s love and a surprising supernatural joy. This grew to be a huge part of my faith and mission, which the Lord called me to write about in my new book, Offer it Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering.
Megan’s Message
The joy I’ve discovered (especially in suffering) isn’t reserved for a select few; God desires it for you, too! The Lord has invited me to share the healing and wholeness He offers to all of His children through writing, speaking, and connecting with you–His beloved.
“O afflicted one,
ISAIAH 54 : 11-12
storm-battered and unconsoled,
I lay your pavements in carnelians,
your foundations in sapphires;
I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates of jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.”
