Our Little Man

This is the first time I have been able to get on the ole Blog and talk about our new little man... On May 10th @ 6:43pm... Trey William Bjurstrom was brought into the world at Goshen General Hosptial! WOW... what an amazing miracle and love of our life we have now! He is precious and beautiful and all I want to do is stare at him even though I know its rude. He is doing awesome... a little over two weeks old and he is walking and saying his first words... :) ok not really... but he is sleeping well and eating good... mom and dad couldnt be happier!!! I will have to get some pictures on here so everyone can check out the Trey man! :) More to come later on... Summer is here and life is getting crazier than before!! God is good... So thankful that God loves me in spite of me!

Baby

well... I have not done a very good job at keeping up on this blog thing... Steph is a few days from her Due Date on the baby!! She is getting ready and is incredibly uncomfortable at this present time. We are so excited to meet this little one and to start our life together with a little baby!!

We have also bought a house and fixed it up... all in about a week. It was a repo in Goshen that we went to town on. We were so blessed to have so many people helping out and pitching in from ripping up carpets, cleaning, painting and moving... it was crazy!! So thankful... God is good!! We are trying to unpack and put the finishing touches on appliances and decor to call it home!

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...

Time Flies

Time is absolutely going crazy right now... not only crazy but its going by so fast. We are nearing the 2 month away mark from our first child. I would say he or she but we are waiting until the day of to find out the sex of the baby. We are that adventurous... surprise style!! Its kind of fun but I really want to know so we can pick out a name!! Fun times... I have noticed lately that I am being pulled in so many directions and trying to figure out where the balance is... My wife is amazing, unbelievable and so loving its shocking... I love her more now than ever before! We are both a little stressed and run down at the present time with all thats going on with work and with life in general! We are still house sitting for a couple who is in Arizona for the next month and a half... We are currently waiting on our home in Illinois to move (sell or rent out) so that we can get a place arouond here (Goshen, IN). I think its not knowing where we will be or how things are going to work that has us a little on edge. God has a plan, sometimes I really want to know so that I can feel like Im being a good husband and take care of my wife!! We are constantly relying on God to fill us up and trust that his plan is perfect. I meet with a realtor on Friday to figure out some ways we can go about getting people to look at our townhome... pray that this goes well and that we get some answers fast! We both cant wait to have our OWN place...

My job has been going well and still in the process of figuring out what works and what doesnt and really just loving students and encouraging them in their walk with Christ! There are a lot of times that I dont feel worthy to have the position I do, I feel that I am in over my head... Again I am trusting that this is where God has me... I felt called and I guess it doesnt matter if I think Im ready or not... if He does then thats good enough for me!! I try not to let myself get in His way... God work through me!

So much for doing a lot of blogging as my new years resolution... twice isnt bad!! I dont even have any friends on my blog yet... I am cool!! :)

I caved...

Well it seems that my new years resolution is to start and keep up with a Blog!! Hooray for me... hopefully it goes well and we can keep everyone up to date with whats going on in our crazy life! Steph and I are loving life right now, living in Goshen, Indiana and expecting our first child at the end of April. Holy Smokes... thats scary! Steph is working in Sales for Aramark Uniform Services and I am a youth pastor @ Sugar Grove Church.
