Kalyn's battle

Ever since before the first day of school this year, Kalyn has been extremely upset about going to school. Most nights she is in tears, crying, saying over and over that she doesn't want to go to school. She just wants to stay home. We have asked her repeatedly what is wrong, if something has happened, etc to try to find out what is going on with her. She can't explain it. All she can do is cry and worry about going. For those of you who know Kalyn, this is not normal. She normally loves school, her teachers, her friends and has never given us a moments trouble about going. If Kalyn ever said she did not want to go to school, then we knew she was sick. But not this time. She is absolutely a nervous wreck. Steven and I have exhausted every attempt and avenue we know to try to find out what is the matter. We have come to the conclusion that it is a spiritual attack on her. Most of you know and remember that she was prophesied over not long after she was born that she was "of God" and would "do great and miraculous things in Jesus' name". Steven and I have known it from the start. We reinforce this to her all the time, so I think the devil is trying to control one small aspect of her life. If he can make her afraid of 1 small thing, then that can escalate into bigger things and cause her to doubt almost everything she has been taught. One night this week, she was having a bad time. It always starts around bedtime. She was crying not wanting to go to school, so I stopped everything, turned TV off and just held her and began praying over her out loud. All she could do was sob uncontrollably. The entire time I prayed, she cried so hard , she shook. I just kept saying that she belonged to God, His angels would protect her." He has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of sound mind." We believe, as parents of an annointed daughter, that our battles are just beginning. Keep her in your prayers.

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL??!!!

A few members of Children's Church on a trip to Huntsville Botanical Gardens to see the "BUG" exhibits. The "Bug" theme was part of the children's lessons during the summer weeks. They had a blast with it, lots of fun and interesting too.
