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!

Thanksgiving Weekend

What a weekend to be THANKFUL! Tuesday night, after basketball practice, we drove through the night to Michigan. I know, we may be crazy to drive through the night, but we didn’t want to “waste” a day by driving during the day – especially on the busiest traveling day of the year – Wednesday. When…

Catchin’ Up With The Sterks

Feels good to sit down and write a little update! I looked at my last post and it said “a little of this, a little of that;” well, that is a good description of what this post is going to be – a hodge podge! First of all, thank you for all of the prayers…

Just Me And My Girl

Early Friday morning, Dan left for Jackson, Mississippi on the youth group mission trip! It was one of those nightmare situations when he had his alarm set, but it never went off at 2:00am. Thankfully he woke up at 2:52 (8 minutes before he wanted to leave), and needless to say, flew out the door….
