Merry Christmas!

I have this odd love of designing our own Christmas cards. For years I made our own out of scrapbook paper, a picture, and usually a little letter in it. I don’t really have the time to do so anymore during this stage of life, but I still like to design one using my fav photo editing program, PicMonkey. This year I wanted to have it reflect having a heart for Christ. Then I saw this saying somewhere, so I knew I had to incorporate it into our card somehow. This is what I came up with. So…

Merry Christmas from The Sterks!

I am so thankful to be able to celebrate Christmas this year not in pain and not so out of it. We truly have so much to be thankful for – especially our Savior who gives us continual hope, when circumstances aren’t always easy. It is our Christ, our Living Hope, that we can cling to and ensure our hearts this season, rejoice!

I’m just going to start right off with this picture of a rainbox. This was taken at my in-laws house on Monday night, the day before I had some testing down at the U of M. I can’t say that day went completely as planned as we found out I was having a significant amount…

Around The Home

Sometimes the last person I can give grace to is myself. I am a whole lot more patient with others, than myself. One thing heart failure has taught me is that I can’t control how I feel. I suppose to a certain degree I can, with what I do and eat, but I can’t control…
