Life at Break-Neck Speed


So, I’m pregnant. Jay and I recently celebrated the date of our first meeting, July 16, 2005. Exactly three years ago, I was introduced to the well-respected and good-looking man that would very soon become my husband.


In the past three years:

-We met and started dating

-Megan started dental hygiene school

-We booked a church to wed in after only 3 months of dating

-Jay graduated from Texas A&M WHOOP!!!

-Jay started dental school

-We got married!

-Megan graduated from Texas A&M’s dental hygiene school WHOOP!!!

-By this time, Megan has moved 3 times - Jay has moved 2 times

-Megan gets a job and starts working

-We win the game of “pee on a stick” …we’re pregnant.


We’ve decided that two people who used to be “planners” and the “think things throughers” have turned in to “fly by the seat of our pants – my goodness our britches are on fire” kind of people. I don’t know all of the lessons that the Lord will teach me through this experience, but I do know that I’m learning perseverance and the definition of blind faith. We recently found out that because we have been blessed with a precious little one, we will begin a search for place to live December 1st. We have been living in a back-house with an older couple here in Dallas, but little ones are not allowed. The Lord has provided more than we ever thought to ask for in the past 3 years, and know that He still has us in His hands and will continue to carry us through this life no matter how fast we seem to be moving! He is faithful and gracious and gives us just enough to make it through a day at a time. He is seldom early, but never late. His timing in all things is perfect, and we couldn’t be more excited about the adventure and the new life He is giving us.
Now, pregnancy is a new kind of trusting in the Lord. My hair is falling out, my face is covered in acne, and I frequently need to lie down for “just a minute”. No worry, the second trimester is just a week away and there are promises of more energy and less nausea. HALLELUJAH!
