“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart exalts, and with my song I shall thank you.” Psalm 28:7
Dear Family and Friends,
It seems like yesterday we were looking at the year 2000, and here it is already 2010. We hope that this finds you well. When I think of perseverance, I think of you and your continued love and support…year after year. We never cease to thank God for you.
We enjoyed having Steven home for the holidays. We had several blizzards over the holidays, so in many ways it was quite unusual, being snowed in several times. He did have good weather to go back to school, and is very busy in his last semester of college. He got an internship, at a magazine in Omaha, and continues to be the news editor for the university paper. He is also starting to look for jobs, so if you know of any newspapers hiring in May, let me know
. Our biggest concern will be that he can find a job that offers health insurance, as he will go off my policy then. He was able to get much needed rest over the vacation, so that helped get his strength back.
Please keep Mindy and Ian in your prayers. Mindy’s health continues to be an issue, and is truly hard on them both. She is seeing different specialists in Bismarck, so we hope that this will help.
We started doing teen activities again in January, which was a nice change to the craziness of December. We have activities planned for the next couple of months, and then I will take the teens from here to Bismarck for the youth rally in April.
I had a busy month in December with my job, organizing 12 mass vaccination clinics for the H1N1 flu within a two-week period. Staff was great. This month has been busy, but not like December. It has been a challenge, but all the years of training and preparing has been a huge help.
Dean has been busy as well with church and work. Having lots of bad weather has been a challenge. He has spent many hours shoveling. We had a bad ice storm, followed by a two-day blizzard. We were without power for part of a day, but many are still without power going into the 2nd week.
Well, as we enter into a new year, and a new decade, we ask that God keep you safe. We always will face challenges and struggles; we are so fortunate to never have to face them alone. Do keep in touch. God bless you always…..
Love and Prayers,
Dean Sherry Steven Mindy Ian
