Welcome to Mujer Balanceada (Balanced Woman), I’m Myrna!
I created Mujer Balanceada in 2015 for women who desire to grow in their relationship with God and learn to live every area of their lives under the direction of His Word.
Because being a balanced woman doesn’t mean having everything under control. Quite the opposite: true balance begins when we stop trying to control every detail and learn to trust our Sovereign God.
Here you’ll find Bible studies, devotionals, and practical resources designed to help you know Scripture more deeply and allow God’s truth to transform the way you think, make decisions, and live.
A Balanced Life Begins with the Word
We live with many responsibilities.
We are wives, mothers, daughters, friends, working women, servants in our churches, and caretakers of our homes. We have dreams, goals, concerns, and seasons of life that don’t always turn out the way we expected.
And it’s easy to find ourselves looking for balance in a better planner, a new routine, or simply by trying to become a little more organized.
But I’ve learned that the balance we truly need doesn’t come from having our lives perfectly organized. It comes from being anchored in God and His Word.
The more we know God, the more we understand who we are, what He expects from us, and how we should respond to the different circumstances we face.
That’s why I don’t want Mujer Balanceada to offer you a formula for a perfect life. I want to encourage you to know God through His Word and learn to depend on Him more each day.

Myrna, the Woman Behind Mujer Balanceada
I’ve loved writing since I was a little girl. Over time, I discovered that I also enjoy teaching, learning, and helping others grow in their knowledge and abilities.
In 2000, God opened my eyes to the truth of the gospel. Since then, every season of my life has taught me something I am still learning today: I need to depend on Him.
I’ve been married to Jonathan since 2007 and am a mother of three. I am a librarian by profession and passionate about reading. I also love organizing and planning, although I’ve had to learn to rest in God’s plans.
Over the years, God has used both the easy and difficult seasons of life to teach me to let go of control, trust His sovereignty, and return again and again to His Word.
My Hope for You
I don’t know what season of life you’re in today. Maybe you’re trying to organize a life that feels like it has too many things happening at once. Maybe you’re walking through a difficult season.
Perhaps you’re just beginning to learn about the Bible, or you’ve been following Christ for years but want to go deeper into His Word.
Whatever your situation, my hope is that Mujer Balanceada will be a place that continually points you back to God.
You won’t find a woman here who has it all figured out. You’ll find a woman who is still learning to trust.
And my prayer is that, as we walk together through Scripture, you will also discover that the balance we long for isn’t found in our ability to keep every area of our lives under control, but in learning to rest in the God who sustains every one of them.
Know God more. Grow in His Word. Live for His glory.
That, in essence, is what I want to share with you at Mujer Balanceada.
