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.

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.

It is our Christ, our Living Hope, that we can cling to and ensure our hearts this season, rejoice!

Hello May! Dan and I were just saying to each other, “What have we done the past 7 weeks during quarantine?” For the most part, it’s been projects outside and I feel like we’ve found plenty to do. But what I realized is that usually in life, we live by “markers”. We look forward to…
