Celebrating Christmas Miracles!

Though there are too many miracles to recount (and so many we will never know)…we wanted to share some of our miracles since our last update.  Having completed Greg’s 12 rounds of chemotherapy (miracles to the 12th power), we had so looked forward to having a real family Thanksgiving.  Michelle and Alan wanted to host us at their new home.  All of the families from Florida, South Carolina and Virginia were making our way to them in North Carolina.

Greg passed out the Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving and hit his head.  He ended up spending the next two nights in the hospital.  It was sad not to be able to sit around Michelle and Alan’s table with all the family, but they were wonderful to bring plates and dishes of food to the hospital.  They all visited throughout each day, which blessed us with visitors regularly.  When Greg was released on Friday night the diagnosis was his blood pressure was low and he may have been fighting a virus and most probably was dehydrated.

Greg’s low blood pressure continues to keep us very connected.  Apparently he is so tolerant of having low blood pressure, he has little warning (or none) before he is about to pass out.   I am trying to encourage salty foods (like who doesn’t like waffle fries??) and electrolyte waters to stay hydrated.

As we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas, we have another miracle to share.  We have made the decision to relocate to Myrtle Beach…HOME!  We will be home for Christmas.  Though this was a sad decision to leave Drew, Kacie and the littles, a sad decision to leave friends and our church family, we knew it was the right decision.

Our doctors in Florida have encouraged us to focus our attention on our specialist care at Duke.  As I mentioned in a previous post, Greg has said since his diagnosis, he wanted to be home.  God has opened the doors and confirmed this relocation over and over.  We are excited to be close to our girls, Alan and our moms.  

As we wish you a Merry Christmas…we feel your prayers have been the catalyst of these miracles and have been heard as we celebrate a second Christmas since Greg’s diagnosis.  Truly a Christmas Miracle.  In fact…Thursday as we celebrate the birth of the adored King of Kings, we will celebrate the miracle of 40 Christmases together!  

We believe you too are on our Miracle list this Christmas.  We have needed each of you as you have prayed for Greg.  We will celebrate the greatest miracle of the birth of the Lord Jesus at Home in Myrtle Beach.  Merry Christmas with all our love! j

Greg and Joan,

The taste of God’s indescribable gift can be found in fellowship with the body of Christ. I am continuing to pray and ask the Lord for a door to open for a visit. It’s been far too long. Thank you for being a blessing these many, many years.

I'm a past neighbor and 50 year friend of Marion in Boulder, and also your mother Carol, through Marion. My son and I have been following your story through them and have been praying for Greg, you and the family, and we will continue to. May He continue to give you miracles, both with Greg's health and your new life in Myrtle Beach. God bless you both.

So very happy for you to be returning to, MB (home). I know your mothers are ecstatic. Praising our Lord for every little or big miracle, as you still be here to celebrate another Christmas in and of itself is the greatest of those miracles.
Love to you and Joannie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Praise God for His faithfulness!!! First happy anniversary what a way to celebrate miracle after miracle!!! Thank you for listening God’s call and coming to South Florida. You made a huge impact in so many lives when you arrived at Calvary Fort Lauderdale and started the small groups. Matt and I were the first to signed up to lead a group. And believe it or not we are still connecting with those couples from back then and having Bible studies in our home. What a blessings has been we gained friends from life. Thank you for that and all you guys have done here. May the Lord keep blessing you, as you keep stepping in faith to where He leads and minister to so many during this season. Continued prayers for healing and what God has in store for you for this New Year. Thank you for sharing with us your journey.
