In the midst of a transforming community and world, I create this page for anyone who has a heart for the vulnerable ones and setting free any who are held captive by the world's failure and the church's hesitancy and failure at addressing the holistic needs of humanity, including specifically: mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual health! My personal and familial testimonies have been forged in the working out of these themes as well as the flailing attempt to live them out. Will you partner with us as we seek first and foremost personal healing and then hope to utilize all we have, all we receive, as well as all we learn for the good of others and glory of God? My name is MeginLea, or Mommy Musketeer, and I am a 39-year-old mother of two, (Eli and Eden) who has spent the past 16 years living in the Northeastern, United States, mainly NYC working in ministry with her husband in the urban Chinese-American Christian community. Last year, after an insurmountable sequence of events, I found myself left with but one option before me, in order to maintain the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health of myself and my children. We left our previous home in NYC and the community of which I had been a part for most of my adult life and moved down South to stay with my family of origin. At first, the move was temporary, but it appears we will be here longer than expected. That is okay, even welcomed in many ways, but I reach out on behalf of my BabyMusketeers because they do have needs that I am seeking help to meet. I know that with a village, and by the grace of God, needs can be met. So thank you for reading this and considering supporting our family. BACKSTORY: The previous years in ministry in NYC have taken a toll on my family, especially since the world changed with the entrance of Covid after we were already in over our heads with an attempted "ministry plan" which was much bigger than what we were prepared for or had been prepped. Now the kids and I are navigating a new community, and while we have many core relationships here in SC that we are thankful FINALLY to be able to invest in, it has been difficult to lose relationships with people in New York, especially the ones which have changed out of necessity but without a mutual understanding of the need for our relocation. Unfortunately there were a series of years that included multiple losses and instability without the proper support and care for one reason or another and without placing soul responsibility in any one space. Nevertheless, here we are tasked with picking up the pieces, and waiting to see how God makes beauty from ashes. I have faith still that He is the great provider and has never abandoned us, regardless our mistakes or missteps. He even knew this day before it came to be! At the same time, Eli has recently been diagnosed on the Autism spectrum as well as with an attention disorder. He is beginning weekly occupational therapy and in the midst of bi-monthly mental health therapy in regard to his shifting home environment. Eden, as well requires routine care. I receive therapy weekly and have been investing in other resources to build my strength in certain areas after years of investing primarily in others. Thus, we are doing well, but it is not always easy, especially financially. I am reminded that much of our purpose in life is the endurance of our circumstances and the conquering AS we endure as opposed to the mere crashing through obstacles or evading them or even instantaneously overcoming them during challenging times, so we reach out and humbly ask for help meeting our various needs right now. Unfortunately, until more progress is made in the mediation process to dissolve the marriage between myself and the children's father, I am unable to access or apply for new insurance that covers our medical and therapeutic needs. As well, for the next few months at least, as I continue to homeschool Eli, our family will more than likely not have an income to support us. I am greatful we are able to live with my father. Please consider if there are any ways you can support our family in the next few months or during what I imagine will be a season/year of transition. I hope to provide everyone with monthly updates as well as video messages and more details as I am able to share them. As well, I have been pursuing financial accountability and spiritual accountability and am open to select further education and wisdom as to how to best provide for our family at this time. I endeavor to pursue the integrity of my entire family as well as anyone involved in helping us navigate this season. Would you prayerfully consider if you can support us in any way during this time? Thank you! CURRENT LIFE: Our weekdays are mainly filled with homeschool and different therapy appointments, but I have been able to join a church congregation here as well as a small group where there are opportunities for the children to interact with other kids their age. And thankfully, our extended family down South is large with no lack of children running around. Eli will also begin soccer soon!
