Today we’d like to introduce you to Margie Harkins.
Hi Margie, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I moved out of state once I turned 18, I got married young and had my first baby young. I navigated the challenges of parenting and motherhood and found myself drowning in postpartum depression and anxiety. I remembered thinking about how I wanted multiple children, but after having my first and struggling so badly after, I just didn’t see how it could ever be. I cried out to God and He answered. He just kept showing up. Here I am, almost eight years later and my fourth baby just turned one. I’ve navigated solo-parenthood while my husband was on the road and we are now navigating full-time RV living on the road, as a family of six.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not smooth. Very bumpy! Depression, fear and anxiety running my life for a while. Family deaths, financial heartaches, family growing pains. Lots of valleys in between the mountains.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I specialize in biblical parenting and practical motherhood. I’m most proud of the four disciples that I’ve birthed and am raising. I believe our family is set apart because we choose to do the different and most times, hard things. We are a Christ-following, homeschooling and living full-time in our RV. We are raising our children to always steward well and share what we’ve been given by God.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
As crazy as it sounds. My favorite childhood memories typically have to do with all eight of my siblings and I teaming up to serve those in need. We’ve always functioned well together and it has always felt fulfilling and encouraging to help others.
