Welcome to Guided By Grace

Hey there, I’m Margaret! Most folks around here just call me Margarita. I’m happily married to Stace for 28 years and counting! Mama to three, and “Mimi” to three grandbabies who keep life loud and wonderfully full of life.

For years, we lived on a little farm where faith, family, and hard work met. It was a beautiful season, but recently, the Lord placed a new adventure on our hearts. We made the radical choice to downsize, say goodbye to the farm, and move into a 5th wheel trailer to travel full-time. We are trading our physical acres for the open highway, but our true foundation hasn’t shifted an inch. Our new chapter is all about going From Farm to Full-Time, letting His grace guide us across every state line.

I’m a born-again believer who loves Jesus with every beat of my heart. I believe the Bible is the living, breathing, 100% true Word of God, that He is sovereign over every detail, and that the blood of Jesus is the only way home.

I’ve walked some dark valleys—chronic illness that won’t let go, injuries that changed everything, sin I never thought I’d wrestle, and long seasons of wondering, “Lord, what are You doing with me?” But here’s what I know for sure: Christ is enough. Always. Even when the doctor’s words sting and the nights are long, He is faithful, and His grace is deeper than the mess.

So, I’m not afraid to get real here. The pretty and the painful, the victories and the tears—because transparency has a way of pointing straight to Jesus.

• Encouragement for the days when faith feels thin.
• Real-life stories from a couple navigating a tiny home on wheels.
• Bible studies and devotionals to help us dig deeper together.
• Plenty of coffee (or sweet tea) invitations.

Every post comes with Scripture links that open up like mini-Bible studies—click them, linger there, and let the Word do the talking.

My prayer is that when you visit, you’ll feel like you just stepped onto the porch—or pulled up a camp chair next to our trailer—of a friend who’s thrilled you’re here, and that the Lord meets you right where you are.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

So grab your Bible, kick off your boots, and let’s keep walking in the light together. I’d love to hear your story—leave a comment or just holler “hey!” anytime.

You’re so welcome here.

Blessings, Margarita
