It's March?!?!

I know it's been forever since I've put up pictures or blogged. So I am hereby agreeing to update weekly with pictures and a new blog. I encourage you all to hold me accountable, encouraging me to be true to this goal I've set for myself. In the meantime, here's what's been going on in Sohl-land.

Little Sohl Gal and Sohl Son have grown much, much taller in the last few weeks. We've gone up to 3T and 5/6, respectively, and plan that Young Sohl will be fully into 6 month clothing very soon as well.

Sohl Gal's taken up running with a friend. The goal is to run a 1/2 marathon in the fall. It's been easier than I'd have imagined, and though I've never considered myself a runner (nor have I wanted to be one), I'm really enjoying it.

My Sohlmate's finally been blessed with a supply of Arnold Palmer's. We recently learned that it IS possible to mail them, and he's happily enjoying them on a regular basis. Thanks to the Moms for those! He LOVES Arnold Palmer's. OR, as Little Sohl Gal calls them, "Awww BUMMER sodas."

We've reached strawberry season again, and I was able to buy a kilo of strawberries (2.2 lbs.) for 2 euros - cheap, cheap, cheap! I really enjoy going out into town and using my Spanish, and I'm praying that it's improving.

One on One is going well, and I can't believe how much He's growing me each day and week. I'm so thankful for His patience and unyielding love.

I'm out of exciting news to report, so congratulations on the new babies DaWags and Ketch! Thanks for the love and support, Jenni, Tooley, Daph, Hollenrockers, Sarah, and Mom. Miss all of you, love you all, and pray for you, too. Update you soon!

What do you do?

What do you do when you're having that day? The one where the mess, the routine, the challenges are so magnified that you struggle to see His light behind them?

A commercial I've seen recently spoke to me about this. There's a man and a rock - which looks to be much, much bigger than the man. The man talks, slowly taking steps forward. You realize that the rock isn't as big as it seems, it's just the way you see the situation. I know Pastor Bil's talked about this, too.

So what do you do when you're having that day? I read a bit in my Bible, where He reminded me that He's in charge, and I have to relinquish my false ideas of control.

Gotta move some rocks... but shoot me your ideas on how to change my perspective.

Sohl son decided we needed a diet.

I'm in the book...

Facebook, that is. My friends have convinced me to start, and I have to admit that it is enjoyable. I much prefer it over the social network I used before. So... now I figure out how to use that, and update this... so everyone can stay updated. Fun!

Anyway, if you are a fellow facebooker, and we know each other, let me know. We can be friends.
