We just returned home from speaking at the Beverly Reformed Church Sr High Youth Group in Wyoming and met a great bunch of kids as shown in the photo above. It is such a great opportunity when we are able to share the love of Christ and how ALS has affected our lives and how this trial is meant by God to strenghten our faith and glorify Him in all we do! (1 Peter 1:6-9) We pray that these teens will turn to Christ in their times of trial and lean on His promises in His Word. It's been a while since we were in high school, but it seems like not so long ago as far as the choices we made back then and how we were living and when I look back I think how much I wish I was passionate for God back then, but God was always pursuing us and wanted to bring us back to Him. He never lets go of us!!! Anyways, it was great to meet you all and we hope to come back and visit your group again sometime.
The other pictures above are of our kids in their halloween costumes. Zach was a hippie and Maddie was a cheerleader. The sumo wrestler costume was borrowed from a friend and Zach wore it last year and it was a hit. We had borrowed it again for a friend of ours and Maddie wanted to try it on and it was hilarious!! We were invited to go trick or treating this year hayride style so we loaded Eric's wheelchair on it and it was pretty fun being able to watch the kids go trick or treating. They got some good candy too. Lots of full size candy bars that we will have to try to stay out of. Tomorrow we have no school so we are looking forward to sleeping in! We are going to visit the school by the home we are purchasing in Grandville and look at the house again with Eric's mom and sister and Zach has not seen it yet either. We got a call today to show our house tomorrow night and have talked to a few couples who are interested in renting it so please pray for God to sell our house or the right situation to rent it out. We know God will continue to provide our needs as he has all along the way.

Eric is leaving for Washington DC next Monday with Zach and Joe S and Mike D to ask for the drug IPLEX to be released to the patients in the US for ALS and he is also celebrating Veterans day on the Capital with festivities they are holding for Vets. I may have already shared this (can't remember what I did yesterday) but please pray for their safe travel and Eric to be safe while away from the comforts of home and me as I tend to worry when he is not by my side.
Don't forget to VOTE on Tuesday! It is our freedom and our right!! Our Pastor said today to "look at God's truth, follow God's Word and vote the Bible!" We believe that with all of our heart and encourage you to do the same!
Be blessed this week and tell someone that you love them!!!
