Unexpected Challenge


We always say you never know what your day will look like when you wake up here in Mexico. Everyday is truly a surprise. We are so very thankful to God that he has prepared us well for each day He has given us, whether the day will be raining or sunny or storming. 
The past few months Greg has not been feeling well. After undergoing some tests/ct scans it has been determined that he has a brain tumor. This is never something you want to hear the doctor say. However, it is just a stormy day here in Mexico and we know that after every storm, the sun eventually comes out. 
We are preparing to fly back to the US on Friday (the 4th) morning and Greg will see a neurosurgeon in Charlotte, NC on Monday. Soon after that we anticipate surgery. I would love to personally respond to every comment or post that is sent our way, however, that just isn't possible. Please know that I will read them all and relay your messages to Greg. We covet your prayers during this time. We know that God is big, bigger than a simple brain tumor! We are putting our trust in Him and know that He will see us through this no matter what the outcome. We have a true peace and are just looking forward to getting this part of the journey behind us. I will update on here regularly and put a link  on Facebook. We love you all and thank you for following us on this fun and sometimes crazy journey that God has called us to. We love you, Greg, Missy and kids

Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

    Greg and Missy: We live in south Charlotte now and have a large house with two empty bedrooms and baths. If you can use this space in any way, for any length of time, you let us know. We were blessed to have another family of four stay with us for four months so, we have plenty of room. You can call me at 828.712.4185.

  14. Missy, I just read this. We live just north of Charlotte. If y'all are going to be in the area, please let us know if there is anything we can do! We have guest rooms if you need space and know others that do as well. We will help in anyway we can. I send you a message on FB, so let me know if there is anything we can do!
