Hello, my name is Greg McDougal. These days I enjoy introducing myself as a “recovering musician”. There was a time however, when I was writing songs for EMI Nashville and pursuing a record deal (I was working with Henry Paul of BLACKHAWK as my producer and with Tim DuBois of Arista records.) I even had a song recorded by Atlantic Recording artist John Michael Montgomery.
I soon discovered though, that God had a different plan than the one I had so carefully laid out. It was about this time that our first son was born with a hole in his intestinal tract which required surgery. He was subsequently diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disorder which affects the mucus membranes in the body, primarily the lungs, liver, intestinal tract and pancreas.
Looking back, I can see that in times like these God does His greatest work. Priorities change and life takes on a whole new meaning! Without going into details, I know that God, by His grace, mercy and infinite wisdom, caused me to walk away from what seemed like certain success in the music business.
Since then I have been working as a self-employed home repair contractor and I marvel at God’s perfect orchestration in our lives. We now have four beautiful children, three of which have been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and each one of them is God’s gift of miracles to us.
