\n\t\tAbout Me\t<\/h1>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Megan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t grow up in church.
I didn\u2019t come to know God early in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, for most of my years, I was searching for meaning in everything except Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked through a failed marriage (got married at 20 yrs old, divorced at 22 yrs old).
I served in the military (Marine Corps).
I experienced relationships that left me wounded and disoriented (best friend of 18 years gone and family wounding).
I explored new age spirituality and other paths that promised enlightenment, healing, or identity (plant medicine, astrology, witchcraft, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was looking for truth.
For love.
For something solid enough to hold me together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But nothing ever fully did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a long time, I rejected God \u2014 I didn\u2019t truly know Him. My understanding of Him was distant, unclear, and shaped by fragments rather than relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t until my life began unraveling in very real ways that I started asking deeper questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I found was not condemnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found Jesus \u2014 not as an idea, but as a person who meets us in our lowest places without shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I began learning what it means to abide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not strive.
Not perform.
Not build a life in my own strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe Who Abides in Him\u201d is not a declaration that I\u2019ve arrived. It\u2019s a commitment to stay rooted in the One who found me when I was looking everywhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lamp in this space represents His light \u2014 steady, ever-present, and always shining. The oil represents the Holy Spirit-to be constantly filled with His presence. The olive branch represents peace and that I am grafted in by God’s unfailing grace. My story is a redemption story. A transformation story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I share about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Finding identity after years of searching<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Healing from distorted views of love<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Leaving behind spiritual confusion for biblical truth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Learning to walk with the Holy Spirit in daily life<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Building from rest instead of burnout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve searched in many places\u2026
    If you\u2019ve been disappointed by people, by systems, or by yourself\u2026
    If you\u2019re just beginning to wonder whether God is different than you thought\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I was you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And I\u2019m still learning to remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s abide with Him together.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"unboxed","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"enabled","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1324","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_hostinger_reach_plugin_has_subscription_block":false,"_hostinger_reach_plugin_is_elementor":false,"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"shewhoabidesinhim@gmail.com","author_link":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/?author=1"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1324"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2830,"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1324\/revisions\/2830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shewhoabidesinhim.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
