Welcome to Increase My Hunger!

Hello! My name is Megan.  I am... 

Married to my hero (for 16 years now)

An Oregonian by birth, a Texan by marriage

Lover of coffee and quiet mornings

Homeschool Mama to 7 precious kids (6 in my arms and 1 in heaven)

Country girl in the making 

I'm passionate about:

Knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known

Being my husband's best friend and helpmate

Loving and leading my children with joy

Homeschooling my children to the best of my ability

Being teachable and teaching others

My Roles:

After attending Bible College, finishing up a bachelors degree in Communications at Dallas Baptist University and completing a two-year internship with a local missions organization, I thought my next move would take me to study for my Master's in California or head to China to teach ESL, but the Lord had different (and better than I could plan) plans for me.  

Our wedding day ~ April 12, 2008

God brought me a husband and a couple months after our wedding we were happy to find out that we were expecting our first baby! My roles were changing so quickly, and with joy I embraced the new season of life. 

We now have six children (ages 16, 14, 11, 9, 6, and 3) who bring such life and color to each day. They keep me on my toes and fill our home with joy (and a lot of noise).

How Increase My Hunger Was Born:

When my life as a mom contained only one sweet little girl, I had more time on my hands and I had the desire to document our life-journey and share it with family and friends in Oregon. My heart's cry at the time was (and still is today), "Lord, increase my hunger for you!". The blog title came from this prayer. 

Over the years this blog has morphed into a place to encourage other women who find themselves hungry for more of God and want to better themselves a wives, mothers, and homemakers.

My oldest girl at 9 months old ~ My inspiration for starting this blog!

My Hope:

I hope that my life experiences (serious and humorous ones) and my understanding and application of God's Word will bless you in some way. My goal is to be real as I share with you and that these posts would encourage your heart and glorify God. I also love to share my favorite recipes, hoping you too will enjoy them with your family and friends (and also making them easier for me to find when I need them. lol).

I pray that your heart will be encouraged, that your strength will grow, and that your hunger for God and His Word will INCREASE!

May we cry out to the Lord together, 

"Increase my hunger for YOU!"

Thank you for stopping by and may God bless you,

 Megan
