well, it's been a long time coming....but i have just scheduled my masters in biomedical engineering thesis defense! i give all the praise to God for getting me this far and i know it will be Him who will get me through the next few weeks. i know that finishing classes, my research and my paper was not of my own strength, but only through Him alone since my own efforts would have failed me years ago.
four and 1/2 years ago i signed up to take my first class in graduate school at the university of memphis in their biomedical engineering program. i've been working full time in research at my job and part time on my degree and it's been an uphill struggle filled with many tears and much anxiety since then. only in the past year did i really commit to giving this over to God and since then the tears have been much fewer, the anxiety much less and my time with friends and family much more treasured.
please pray that even in the middle of baby showers, work, and projects around the house that everything will come together these last few weeks and that the defense will go well on July 2nd. i can't believe this giant task will be behind me soon! praise God!

and a huge "thank you" to schmoopy for supporting me through this process...it hasn't been easy for him either! we tend to like to do these big life events in groups...whether it's getting married, moving, starting a new job and grad school or finishing grad school and having a baby :)

Yay...I'll be praying for you for sure. This is such a huge step and I am so relieved for you that you will be done and can enjoy your little boy without it hanging over your head. And besides...you'll look cute all pregnant defending a paper on all that biojumble that I can't remember.
We'll be praying too! :) Congrats on *almost* being finished!!!
We know how stressful it can be -- doing school and work and everything else! Keep us posted!!
