Welcome to my new blog.
It's a new year, a new decade, and my wife and I got us a new non-profit - so in keeping with the "new" theme - it's time for a new blog.
Hopefully a bunch you folks who followed me over on my World Race blog for the last 3 and a half years will make it over to this new one.
And hopefully I'll actually keep it updated!
Obviously, this will be a good place where friends and family can follow our journey to Thailand. Ericka and I are leaving in 5 DAYS! I couldn't be more excited!
Also, if I can get out of my writing funk, this blog will be a place where I share openly about the joys AND struggles of my walk with Jesus. I LOVE the fact that words pretty much mean nothing to my generation. What speaks to people is HOW you live this thing out. You see, we can write/say all the Bible verses and "christianese" statements we want, but if we're not attempting to REALLY love others as we love ourselves, forgives others, and serve others - then we are just being religious. So, in that spirit of vulnerability expect some real and raw posts.
Anyway, looking forward to having you folks follow along this journey!
Rusty and Ericka,
ReplyDeleteOur prayers will follow you to Thailand. When God leads our steps, we can walk a little faster, hear a little clearer, feel a little deeper and see our purpose in a new light.
So keep walking and He will keep leading.
God Bless you both and when you arrive
please give our kids a big hug and tell them it is from us.
Love,
Ray and Laurette (Mom and Dad)
