It’s a good thing…

It’s a good thing I have my password saved on WordPress or I would totally have forgotten how to log on to my blog.

Not that I have a huge following that is waiting with bated breath to read what is on my mind as of late. With Twitter being so handy, I feel like all of my thoughts have already been shared in the Twitterverse and Facebook. What is there left to share about my little world?

Quick update: We’ve had quite the winter season–record snowfall here in Western PA (as I recall, our area of WI had record snowfall in the month of December when we came–think there’s a connection??? Stevan does pray for snow on a regular basis.) In the midst of this snowy season, my children decided to get just about every cold virus possible and was very happy to share it with the rest of the family. So far, I’ve barely had symptoms and was able to combat the sniffles each time w/ fluids and vitamins. Stevan, on the other hand, suffered along with the munchkins (and was more verbal about it, of course).

Ezra also decided to cut a tooth after two colds for a couple months in a row. Poor kid. He must have a high pain tolerance. He has his first ear infection this week, though, so it’s been a rough week for him. My mom has been visiting so she has helped me tremendously.

Ella LOVES preschool!!! She is thriving w/ all the social interaction and constant challenge of learning new things that she gets to come home and “teach” to us! She loves her baby brother who, in turn, adores his big sister. They are so precious together. What blessings!

Ella turns 4 years old on April 23rd! *GULP* I can’t believe it. Didn’t I just finish nursing her??? (No, I did not nurse for three years, just in case you’re wondering.) Ezra turns 10 months tomorrow. He will experience his first Easter next week. He will be one years old on May 28th. WOW! To use the exhausted saying, “Where has the time gone?”

I turned 30 in January. My body has reminded me of this every week. Yoga via the Wii helps stretch me out when I find the time/remember to do it!

Big things have been happening despite the sickness and snow in our family, though. Once again, the Lord is asking us to step out in faith to see what He has for us next. Stevan has resigned from his position here and is seeking a new position that is not in youth ministry. THIS is a big deal for him. He has been a youth pastor for the last 10 years. But, God has something in store for His servant and we are actively seeking His will, while waiting (trying to do it patiently) for Him to share what He has for us. Pray with us as we take this new journey with our two children. We are trusting in God. He will provide all of our needs. He holds our future in His capable hands (thank goodness).

So, there you have it. The Sheets’ family update in a nutshell. Pray for this time of sickness to be over so Mommy can leave the house (just kidding, I’ve had more time to do my devotions so I can’t complain too loudly). In all seriousness, pray that the sickness does leave and also that God’s will becomes evident to us. We appreciate your prayers.

Enough for now. My kids are asleep. I need to be, too. They will wake up happy and hungry!

God is good. All the time.
