HIGHS and LOWS

It is difficult to describe this last week.  It has been highlighted by some soaring highs and some crushing lows.  

Once again we have been blessed in unbelieveable ways once by everyone at Kourtney's new school.
As well I had the privilege of being a part of Angela's baptism, and was part of the cheering squad to support the rest of her family,  Scott, Jordyn and Jenna as they took a step of faith with Baptism as well.  Todd and I were thrilled to see the many staff members from ACS in the congregation to support the Visser family. We definitely feel that Kourtney is in the "right" place. Kourtney feels the same way; she doesn't cry when she has to leave for school, her stomach problems have settled down, and the heart palpitations are gone.

Just when we thought life has settled into a "better than new" normal, we have been blindsided, once again, by a major set of events. To preserve the integrity of everyone involved, I will not and cannot go into any detail. We believe that it is an "attack" on our family but  once again we feel "protected" in so many ways that we can't even begin to describe how we know and feel that God is looking after us. As a family we have chosen to claim Ephesians 6:12. 

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, 

against the powers of this dark world 

and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Please hold us even higher in our prayers this week.
