My name is Maegan. I am 19 years old, but I will turn 20 on March 3rd. I grew up in a very conservative baptist home in the small town of Big Spring, Tx. I have an older sister, Shelleyn, and a younger brother, Kolt. I was homeschooled from 8th-12th grade. I was a level 8 gymnast before I had to quit in 2001 because of an injury. I miss it very much. I showed horses for 4-H during my high school years. That was a lot of fun. I just got married this past October in Georgia. My husband, Joey, is currently surving the army in Iraq. God-willing he will get out of the army soon after he returns in Feb. 2009. We neither one know yet what God is calling us to do with our lives when he gets back. God has been working on our patience for quite a while now and we both know that God will show us his plan when He is good and ready. Joey and I have an amazing love story. We both knew we would marry someday when we started dating in June of 2006. We always thought we would marry upon his return from Iraq, but God laid it upon our hearts to get married before he left so strongly that we couldn’t resist. It seemed crazy and impractical, but we believed it was God’s will so we started making plans. We talked to our parents, received their blessings, and planned the whole thing in 3 weeks and it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. It was perfect. We know it was God’s plan because things fell into place so amazingly. There is so much more to the story. God has blessed us so much. I know that God has a plan for our lives and I trust Him to show us in His timing. As for now, I’m simply going to school to learn more about Him and waiting until He shows me what to do next.
Maegan, I will be praying for Joey during his time away.
