Welcome to Lavender & Light

Welcome to Lavender & Light

Hello, friend.

I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’ve found your way to this little corner of the internet, I don’t believe it’s by accident.

Lavender & Light was created to be a place of peace in a world that often feels noisy, overwhelming, and uncertain. Here, we’ll open our Bibles, spend time in prayer, ask difficult questions, celebrate victories, walk through struggles, and learn what it means to follow Jesus more closely every day.

You can expect devotionals, Bible studies, encouragement, sermons, reflections, prayers, and honest conversations about faith. Some days we’ll dive deeply into Scripture. Other days we’ll simply sit together and remember that God is still good, even when life is hard.

A little about me: I’m a Christian, a youth leader, an author, and someone who loves Jesus with all of her heart. Like many of you, I’ve experienced seasons of joy, anxiety, grief, hope, doubt, growth, and renewal. Through it all, I have discovered something beautiful:

God has been faithful every single time.

My prayer is that this place becomes a refuge for anyone who needs encouragement, wisdom, hope, or simply a reminder that they are deeply loved by God.

So, whether you’re new to your faith, have walked with Jesus for many years, or are simply curious about Him, welcome.

I’m thankful you’re here.


With love,

Megan

Five Years of Praying for a Baby

Image
This one is difficult for me to write. Normally, when I sit down to write something for Lavender & Light , I want to encourage you. I want to leave you with hope. I want to tell you something God has been teaching me. But today, I’m writing from a place that still hurts. For five years, I have wanted a baby. Five years of hoping. Five years of praying. Five years of wondering. Five years of watching time pass while carrying a prayer that still hasn’t been answered the way I desperately want it to be. And if you’ve ever struggled with infertility, you probably understand that those few sentences hold a whole lot of pain. There Is a Grief That Comes With Waiting Infertility is strange because you can grieve something you’ve never actually held. You can miss someone you’ve never met. You can love a child who doesn’t exist yet so deeply that your heart physically aches for them. You imagine the little things. What it would feel like to see those two lines. To tell you...

Why I Keep Saying Yes to Serving

Why I Keep Saying Yes to Serving If you’ve spent much time around me at church, you’ve probably noticed something about me: I say yes a lot. Need someone to help? I’ll do it. Need someone to step in? I’m there. Need an extra set of hands? Just tell me where you need me. And sometimes I wonder if people look at me and think, Does she ever say no? 😂 But the truth is, there is a reason I keep saying yes. I genuinely love serving. There is something about being in God’s house and knowing that I can help—even in the smallest way—that fills my heart. It doesn’t have to be something important. It doesn’t have to come with a title. Nobody has to notice. If there is a need and I am able to meet it, I want to be there. Because somewhere along my walk with Jesus, I realized that serving Him isn’t only about the things we do where everyone can see us. Sometimes serving Jesus looks like teaching. Sometimes it looks like encouraging someone who is struggling. Sometimes it looks li...

When Your Prayers Don’t Sound Pretty

Image
​ Sometimes my prayers sound beautiful. I know exactly what I want to say. The words come easily. I feel close to God, my heart feels peaceful, and I finish thinking, That was a good prayer. And then there are other days. “God… I don’t even know what to say.” That’s it. That’s the prayer. And I’m learning that God isn’t any less present in the second one. Prayer Isn’t a Performance I think sometimes we make prayer more complicated than Jesus ever intended it to be. We hear someone pray beautifully at church and think: I could never pray like that. They know exactly what to say. They remember Scripture. They sound confident. Meanwhile, we’re over here wondering whether we’re even doing it correctly. But prayer was never supposed to be a performance. You aren’t auditioning for God. You aren’t being graded on your vocabulary. And you certainly don’t need to impress the One who already knows every thought in your heart. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:7–8: “And when you pra...
