Almost here

Holy Smokes... we are in the home stretch... getting ready for our first child!! Absolutely shocking!! Steph is 36 weeks along and is probably ready to have the baby so she can go back to her previous form! :) I think she is adorable though!!

We are still trying to figure out home situations... possibly will have our own place soon... not really sure... nothing like cutting it close!

March Madness has been a lot of fun this year... for a while I had the 6th ranked bracket on ESPN until Louisville and Oklahoma lost in the Elite 8.... I had high hopes for winning only to be dashed on the rocks... 6th isnt bad! :) Now Im 11,102... my how far we fall!

Thanks to everyone who attended the baby shower a few weeks ago... that was incredibly nice of everyone to be so generous.... we are almost ready for this child to be here!

God is good!

March = Chaos

As February ends up and march begins to roll in... I look at my calendar and shutter because of all the stuff there is going on here at work, church and life in general... wow!! Not only is this going to be a great month because of March Madness and being one more month closer to Steph and I having our first child... its going to be a challenging month spiritually with Sugar Grove going into a stewardship campaign. Steph and I are in prayer about our 3 year commitment to the church to do some building and remodeling of our current facility!! What an amazing thing to walk through in this time of economic wonder (sarcastic). It truly will be a God thing, taking a step of faith and trusting that God has everything under control and is leading us through! I have been learning about just seeking after him with all I have, its all about Jesus, it always has been about Jesus and it always will be about Jesus. Sometimes we get caught up in the do's and don'ts and argue about things that will not matter in a few years... Jesus is all that matters, spreading the news of his love and mercy and reaching out to those who need a relationship with him is what we should be worrying about!!

Pray that Steph continues to progress like she should being pregnant... that the baby inside her grows healthy and strong... that our house sells in Illinois and that God provides a place for us to stay in the mean time!! God is good...
