With us preparing to go overseas, we’ve been hearing a lot about raising your kids overseas, and how they become “third-culture kids.” Recently, we were reading a book, and it brought something to our attention:
Jesus – the greatest third-culture kid ever!
Tomorrow Sarah and I will be heading up to the New Life Missions Conference in Bay City, MI. I’m really looking forward to it. I will have several opportunities to speak and share about what God is teaching me.
Pray about this. People are either going to really embrace what will be taught, or they’ll stone me 
I’m not sure which!
Hello. Welcome to our new blog. Many of you may be wondering about the name of our blog, so I want to take this first post to explain why we chose this. Several years ago, I was attending the the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville. Rob Bell shared during one of our general sessions, sharing about the nature of God. Before Noah recieved the name “Yahweh” at the burning bush, God was simply known as “YHWH.” Bell explained that “YHWH” is an unpronouncable word that, when read in Hebrew, sounds like a rough breathing sound. He then went on to explain something that has always made a major impression on me. When we are born, the very first thing we do is say God’s name. When we stop saying God’s name, we die. Everytime we take a breath, we are crying out to God!
Our blog is also named after the song “Breathing” by Lifehouse. Lifehouse is one of our favorite bands (who we will be seeing in concert on April 29th), and this song has been a part of our relationship. For me, it describe a willingness to wait on each other, and to be content to merely be in each others presence. It also serves as an amazing reminder for us in our spiritual walk. We may not sense God moving, we may get impatient waiting for His timing, but we can always trust that he is there with us, breathing gently.
We hope to develop this more, to give updates about us, our walk with God, where He is taking us, and pretty much anything else we have to share. Feel free to read along, comment on anything you like.
