On the Road

So here we are again-to steal the quote from that Willie Nelson or Bob Seeger song-on the road again. Jess, my fabulous wife, and I have been on the road pretty much our entire marriage. Since getting married in December we've been in 17 Cities/towns, spent the night in 8 states, slept in 15 different beds and have put nearly 4000 miles on our car. We've had a grand ol' tour so far.

Jess and I work with Campus Crusade for Christ and recently joined their full-time staff team in January. We received our training in January at Daytona Beach, FL. After that we began raising the support for our ministry with college students in New Orleans. We've been in South Carolina and are currently in Texas. We'll be heading up to Colorado in a month or so and will probably stop into Chicago for a bit as well. We are praying that we'll finish raising our support by mid-July and God is faithful. He is providing for us in huge ways and it is great to see him take care of us while we step out-and often times sheepishly crawl out- in faith.

So this whole blog thing is kinda weird. I've read my friends before, I've wanted one for a while but could never think of a good reason to start one up. I mean, are we really that interesting? So this posting feels like wearing a new, trendy shirt in Junior High. It looked really cool in the store, I could see all the friends and cool kids point and compliment its radness in my mind, but now that I'm wearing it, I feel very self-conscious...Does it fit right? Is it "me"? Is it out of style already? hmm...

I mean my friend Travis could probably publish his postings they are so insightful and inspiring. I'm racing through my mind trying to find something clever, or inspiring or at least mildly humorous but finding nothing. However, I suppose neither of those is me or my betrothed's right now. What we are right now is hopeful and trying our best to raise our support and pray our guts out for New Orleans. So here we begin, let's see where it goes...
