http://shellywillbanks.blogspot.com/2011/02/big-night.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. It is almost 1am on February 13 and I have been having contractions 5 minutes apart for 2 hours now. My due date with our sweet Avery Jayne is not until March 3. I feel like this most likely will not be it.that the contractions will subside and we'll have another couple of weeks with her in tact.or will we? I'm sad that I haven't blogged this entire pregnancy. I am in shock that it is almost over.like over tonight! You have NO idea how true that is, sweet Hayley! We have known ...

Rejoicing Always. . .: March 2012
http://shellywillbanks.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. I want to have a record of these things for myself and this is really the quickest outlet for me to put it all down. And then she'll say, "Mom, next time maybe you should let us know when you're closing it. Someone could really get hurt! Why am I so nervous? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Four of my GREATEST gifts! My Blog Makeover Was Done By.

Rejoicing Always. . .: August 2009
http://shellywillbanks.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. First Day of School. I love being a follower of Christ. He makes life exciting. He leads me down paths I would NEVER choose on my own. One of these paths lately is the decision we have made to follow His leading to homeschool our kids this year. Hayley is in Kindergarten and Jack and Riley are pre-school. Mallory is in on the fun too. See pictures below. : ). I have people all the time say, "Oh, well it will be easy for you to homeschool- -you were a teacher! Riley letting Mall...

Sweets' Surrender: June 2011
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. Grace in the Details! Sometimes in my life, trusting God with the big items is just quite a bit easier than trusting Him with the smaller details. Is this the control freak within me? Why do I , at times, fret and fret over the little things? Why can I so easily get frustrated with the Lord for His delay on working out the small issues? Really when I look back, no such thing exists! He does work things out! How foolish can I be? Nothing- if done my way- would work out well! After w...

Sweets' Surrender: February 2011
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. What Do I Say? Cards, calls, texts, inbox messages! I stay incredibly blessed by you! So many family members and friends tell me they just don't know what to say to us! The feeling may be there that something said would be wrong, creating a fear to say anything at all. So, I want to tell you now that anything said to my family and me with love and encouragement is great and not taken as wrong on any level! Those times are full of kind looks and simple soft touches! I'm at a muc...

Sweets' Surrender: "Why?" Sounds like a good question.
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-sounds-like-good-question.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Sounds like a good question. 1999 was the year my mother-in-law died and went to be with our Lord. She and my father-in-law suffered with long-term illnesses overlapping a 10 year period. She had lymphoma and died with such peace. Our extended family grieved and rejoiced at the same time because it was such a blessing she go be with the Lord instead of staying here with nothing more to offer her in this life. Isn't that a question we all ask God at various times in our lives?

Sweets' Surrender: March 2011
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Much too much credit has been attributed to me lately regarding strength and courage. If there's any strength you see in me, it is from the Lord. If there is courage, it is God's gift. When He tells me His grace is sufficient, He means He will provide just what I need exactly when I need it. Today, I lean on Him hard! I trust His faithfulness to see that I receive both strength and courage, in His time and in His way! Here's what I need:. Ask God to provide me courage! There's ...

Sweets' Surrender: August 2011
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Hospice visits are now increasing to twice a week per my request and their agreement that this needs to happen. The rapid cancer growth was confirmed again last Thursday and there's just so many places in my body this can grow not interfere with normal body actions. My body will not be able to do what it's doing much longer. This week, Mike and I are reminded that we're blessed in so many ways! Through our dark days, He's there! Monday, August 29, 2011.

Sweets' Surrender: Random Post - Widow Friends I Love
http://sharonwashburn.blogspot.com/2011/09/random-post-widow-friends-i-love.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. Random Post - Widow Friends I Love. It sounds weird, but I envisioned myself being a widow, at times, and Mike would teach me all through the years how to fix something like a leaking sink, change oil in the car or even change a tire! S always said, "Now, if something happens to me, you need to know how to fix this. (Or,at least know who to call to get it done.) LOL! They pray for others and write notes of encouragement. These widow ladies bake, quilt and share with peop...
