What happened to the girl who believed her life could be bigger than she imagined?
In this episode, Margaret reflects on realizing that somewhere between responsibility, survival, sacrifice, and simply making it through life, she stopped dreaming.
Not because she stopped believing in God—but because she stopped believing there was still room for her dreams.
This is a conversation about grief, hope, God's timing, and learning to dream again. A reminder that God is not limited by our timelines, our circumstances, or the places we think we've fallen behind.
Maybe it's time to ask yourself:
What happened to your belief that your life can be bigger than you can imagine?
You can dream. You can hope. You can believe again. 🤎

Because sometimes God's protection looks like people.

Three weeks after moving to Oklahoma, the Holy Spirit spoke four simple words to Margaret: "You are safe."
What began as a journal entry became an invitation to rethink what true safety really means—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and relationally.

If you've been living in survival mode, carrying too much, or wondering what it looks like to cultivate a life that supports your well-being, this conversation is for you.
Because your safety matters to God.

In this episode, Margaret shares a powerful moment from her quiet time when the Holy Spirit challenged her to stop measuring her life by accomplishments, recognition, or visible results and instead settle her heart in a simple truth:
Listening to God's voice has to be enough. Following God's voice has to be enough. Being obedient to God has to be enough.
A conversation about surrender, identity, trust, and finding your worth in Christ alone.

After a few quiet weeks of navigating grief, transition, exhaustion, and personal reflection, Margaret returns to the mic with a simple instruction from God: “Just show up.”
In this deeply personal episode, she reflects on the two things she believes God is calling her to in this season: Calling and Closeness. From learning to rest and reconnect with herself, to intentionally creating space to be close with God, Margaret shares what it looks like to answer God’s call without having all the answers, clarity, or strength figured out.
This episode is an honest conversation about slowing down, healing, identity, surrender, and the continual invitation from God to come closer to Him.

In this episode, Margaret pauses the ongoing story of her family’s transition from South Florida to Oklahoma to acknowledge a life-changing loss.
Nearly three weeks ago, her Uncle Stanley — a constant presence through every stage of her 41 years — passed away. More than an uncle, he was like a father, a source of love, laughter, and steady presence.
Margaret shares reflections on who he was, what he meant to her, and how deeply his life is woven into who she is today. This episode is a tribute to his love, his light, and the lasting impact he leaves behind.

In this episode, Margaret continues with a real-time reflection from her journal during her family’s transition from Florida to Oklahoma. The morning begins in quiet time, anchored in Proverbs 3:5–6, asking God for guidance, grace, and direction — and leaving strengthened, confident that God has her family covered.
But fast forward a few hours, and trust begins to shift from God to the things of this world.
This episode is an honest look at how quickly we can forget God’s promises — and yet, how faithfully He remains present, steady, and near even in our moments of doubt.

Over the last few episodes, Margaret has been sharing the story of her family’s transition from South Florida to Oklahoma. One of the questions she hears most often is: How did you know it was God speaking? How did you know what to do next? How did you recognize the timing and the shifting of seasons?
Using the imagery of her Grandma Becky's china cabinet, she shares how she once viewed God as distant — present, valuable, and respected, but reserved for only a few. Margaret unpacks the foundational beliefs that changed everything: that God loves us, desires to be close to us, and truly wants to speak with His children.
These truths shape how she listens for His voice and trusts His direction.

In this episode, Margaret picks up where the previous episode, Girl, Where You Been? left off and shares the rest of the story behind the moments after God asked her family to move across the country.
With honesty and heart, she opens up about the questions she had for God, the emotions she didn’t expect, and the uncertainty that came with saying yes before having all the details. Still, she chose to stand firm in what God spoke — even when it didn’t make sense.
This episode is a reflection on obedience, trust, and what it looks like to experience the God of all grace in real time. If you’ve ever known God spoke but still wrestled with fear, doubt, or timing… this one’s for you.
Same heart. New perspective. Plenty to say.
