The winds of change are blowing…
Stevan shared this letter to our church this morning:
Church family at Our Savior’s Wesleyan:
Just a month ago God organized a conversation to take place that would ignite an understanding that His plan for the life of Stevan, Jessica, and Ella would soon be changing. We had not anticipated any possible change from doing ministry at Our Savior’s Wesleyan Church a mere year and three months ago when we first arrived to begin being used by God here in Mukwonago. We were prepared and ready for a long-term relationship with this church family and ready to face the tasks that were laid before us.
We have confirmed and been affirmed in our decision to follow God’s leading to move to a new community, a new home, and a new season of ministry in Western Pennsylvania – to be used by God and follow His direction for our lives. This decision brings sorrow, nervousness, and excitement to the lives of the three Sheets living just across the parking lot. We have made commitments to “finish strong” in all areas of involvement here believing that God truly has great-things in store in the life of this body at Our Savior’s Wesleyan long after we’ve transitioned away at the close of September.
We join you in prayer for the future ministry of Our Savior’s Wesleyan believing that God not only has a plan for the Sheets family, but also for the body here in Mukwonago. We ask, too, that you continue to love and support us through prayer and conversation as we make this transition a reality for our young family.
With a humble heart – full of gratitude for all that God has allowed us to accomplish and be a part of here at Our Savior’s Wesleyan.
Stevan, Jessica, and Ella Sheets
Yep. We’re moving. Most of my teapots are still in the boxes from a little over a year ago when we moved here from Warsaw, IN. Of course, they would have been displayed had my cabinet ever been re-furbished (no pressure, Babe). Maybe God knew how much of a pain they are to wrap.
We hope you can pray with us through this transition. Any body want to get rid of some boxes?

Oh dearie, did you see my facebook message….. I have a stack of boxes in the basement RIGHT NOW…. so wish that I could get them to you! BUT….. I AM excited that you will be so much closer to us….. SO, SO, SO much closer! Hang in there!!! This will feel much better just months from now!!! Love you!
Robin says:
I know that transitions are never easy, and I’ll definitely be praying that the next few weeks will go as smoothly as possible!
Mom/Mamaw LeeAnn says:
Our love and prayers go up for you everyday and will be always. We will be praying especially for a smooth transition for you three along with prayer for both churches.
I’m going to save some boxes from work and bring when Dad and I come to help you in a few weeks. What about the grocery store just down the street from you? Possibly they would be throwing out boxes.
Please give Ella a big kiss from Mamaw!
Love you,
MOM
Jess says:
Friends and family are such blessings in times of change!
Beth says:
Hi, “Consider it pure joy…” James 1:2. Transition is never easy. Just remember all the people that you have became friends with in the town you live in now. And be excited for what God has in store for you at Armbrust. Consider it pure joy Jessica! I’m can’t wait to have you here in a couple of weeks. I just know we’ll be good friends! Love ya already!
Britt says:
