Megan Humprey
Megan started attending Mosaic in December 2021 after being invited by some friends at her CrossFit gym. Although it was her first time at Mosaic, she’d grown up with parents that instilled the value of having faith in God and attending church. She placed a high value on faith and Mosaic challenged her to take it to the next level. Listening to sermons and asking questions, she began to consider getting baptized as a way of obeying Jesus. On May 8th, 2022, she got in the tub and made her faith her own.
While her faith has always been part of her life, life hasn’t been perfect. Megan married her husband Stephen in 2016 and looked forward to starting a family as they began to build their lives together. The only problem was, having kids wasn’t happening. She and Stephen tried; they prayed, they worked with doctors, tried more, did multiple rounds of IVF, grieved the pain of a miscarriage, and grieved the pain of not having children.
Megan has prayed for children and feels God has answered that prayer with the answer she didn’t want. For Megan and Stephen, it would’ve made sense for them to get angry with God, blame him for their pain, limit their involvement, and walk away from faith. Instead, Megan has leaned in and made the most of her time. She serves throughout the week to support Mosaic Kids. She helps her sister as she parents a six-year old with special needs and severe medical concerns.
When many of us would have written off serving and making a difference, Megan doubled down. She reshaped the burden she carries into a blessing of time that she’s able to give as she continues to trust God and her community with the deepest pain of her life. She talks about her pain in community, trusts God with her challenges, and creates room for others to experience the hope of the gospel through her serving. Both Mosaic and Mosaic Kids are better because she says yes to God each and every day.
