This week the kids went to their new school for the first time! It was a great experience. Ben also went to the school for the first time as a teacher! Crazy!! I also went into the city to the cafe that YWAM runs and I shared a message about Jacob’s defining moment- not at Bethel where he saw the ladder but at Peniel, where he wrestled and struggled before crossing over into the promised land.

Living in this world means that it isn’t a place where all comes easy. There are struggles, new schools, difficult battles and even war. Nevertheless, defining moments, name changing moments, can come from these struggles, and we can experience good things in the midst of the struggle.
