Why the title?

I always like to start out, no matter what I'm doing, with the purpose of what it is I'm trying to do. So...I wanted to let you know in this first post the purpose of this blog. Liz and I have for a while now been trying our hardest to find ways to live for God. For us this doesn't mean that we try to find ways to fit God into our lives. It means that we try to find ways to fit our lives into God's story in the world. This has led both of us to connect with people we would never otherwise connect with like Maurice on the streets of Nashville or Mustafa (sp?) in Sierra Leone, Africa. It has led us to question our roles in ministry and our fears that hold us back.

I am hoping that through this blog you can follow our journey first to Tanzania where we will hopefully be working in an orphanage, but also anywhere else that our journey in God's life takes us.

In Christ, In Life,

Eric
