Just wanted to let everybody know what's going on with us. I was diagnosed with breast cancer today. We don't have any details; we will be meeting with my doctor next Thursday to find out our plan of action. There's a lot that we don't know, but there's a lot that we DO know:
1) This is not a surprise to God; He has my days already planned and he will be glorified through this journey.
2) Tony Boyd and I are blessed with the most incredible friends and family, and we know they will be with us!
3) I am so thankful for our girls, and that God made sure that Kelli was in the United States when we received this news!
4) We are excited to see how God works out each detail as we prepare to launch LF West - He knew what this week would bring, and He has plans for good and not evil!!
Thank you for praying for us! And it's okay if you want to hug me when you see me. Hugs will be allowed for a limited time!!
Thoughts from my girls:
October 17
We found out today that my mom has breast cancer, and I was able to see once again, her faith in action. She immediately saw this as an opportunity for God to use her story, to redeem what could appear life-shattering, to grow us all in our total trust in Him. Thankful for her example! Thank you for praying with us for her complete healing. God is good and faithful!

Had quite an emotional day!
This morning we received our official appointment as Fully-appointed Missionaries with the Assemblies of God!! (Before, we were associates, so this transition means we're in it for the long haul, not just a year or two.) We plan on returning to Happy Horizons in one year, to expand and enhance the incredible ministry there. So thankful for the opportunity to serve at HHCR, and to be a part of AGWM!! #AGMD
This afternoon my mom, Kathy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor still needs to do more testing to determine the stage and treatment, but our world has been rocked.
God is with us, through the mountains AND the valleys. He is sovereign, and He never leaves us for one moment. I can't imagine facing this news without the knowledge that we have an all-powerful God, who sees us and loves us. So thankful for the HOPE that He brings!
I love you, Mom. It's all going to work out just the way it's supposed to.
