I returned from a three day trip to the HACWN writer's conference in 2009, and Megan (then 10 years old) met me at the door.  She dragged a suitcase behind her filled with notepads, notebook paper, pencils, pens and yellow highlighters.

"I'm a writer, too," she announced.  "I'm writing a story about my life for a contest at school."  

Megan wrote her story, entitled, "My Life - W.O.W."  It was one of the winners at her public school, Cordill Mason, in Blue Springs, Missouri.


I edited (shortened) Megan's story, and submitted it to to an editor from Focus on the Family that I met at the HACWN conference.

Megan's article was published in the September 2010 edition of CLUBHOUSE Magazine.

 
 
 
 

 

 


"Just do it afraid."
Megan Jewell Norwood


It's true.  Megan almost died the day she was born, and   she has had life-saving blood transfusions for her entire life:  14 years now.  
 
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" remains Megan's favorite hymn.  I still sing it to her - although  she now prefers to listen to
1 D.

Granddaughters:  Emily Grace and Megan Jewell.  We like to call them "Thelma & Louise."
God is writing an amazing story in Megan's life, as He  refines her through trials and triumphs.  

She is artistic, brave, and ornery, and one of the best friends any person or animal could hope for.
