Isaiah 55:9 says, “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.” As we look back on eighteen months in Michigan, we can certainly agree with Isaiah’s perspective. God continues to surprise us with challenges and opportunities. Sharon has enjoyed getting back into choral music. As a member of the Grand Rapids Symphony Choir she has sung several challenging pieces in concert halls this fall. She has had opportunities to preach and sing in worship services as well. Zach was on the road a lot this fall with preaching and ministry trips to Japan, Korea, Alberta, Ontario, Chicago and Orlando. With four children going four separate directions, life can get pretty complicated in his absence. Isaiah enjoyed soccer, band and playing his clarinet this fall. Esther, our social butterfly, surprised us by playing lacrosse and basketball with her friends this fall. Vivian continues to improve on her violin and make new friends at school. Hannah, our oldest, has perfected feats of strength and dexterity such as the splits, handstands and l-sits (in addition to being a great student). It seems that all of our children are enjoying their second school year at Grand Rapids Christian Schools, which is a huge answer to prayer. Though we didn’t expect to finish 2018 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, God has blessed us tremendously. May God bless you this Christmas!
