Who am I?

2 Sa 7:18 Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD, and he said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

After the prophet Nathan shared the words of God with King David declaring that his kingdom would last forever through his descendants, David’s humble nature immediately brought him to give thanks for all that God had done. A man at the heights of human power still acknowledged God as the source of all accomplishment made me realize just how much more I can grow in my own relationship with God. I have no delusions that I will become some great warrior for God, but I do desire that people will be reached through my life, faith, and actions, perhaps strengthening or awakening their own walk by faith.

For my first post I felt that it would only be natural to answer that question of who I am and look at my purpose. I’m a Christian, family-man, gamer, and member of the USAF learning about life, game programming, and business. The early years of my life, before I found my focus and faith, were largely spent without goals or dreams worth pursuing; however, I did meet the lady that would later become my wife during those years. Once I realized that my purpose was to serve, I joined the military to serve my country. After a few years I felt a greater call and invited God into my life. It has been a blast serving Him and I want to share that joy. This is my purpose behind game programming: to create games that are friendly to the Christian worldview and explore areas of the faith in new ways.

In the future my posts will be a weekly journal sharing my experiences, thoughts, accomplishments, and failures. I will discuss some of my goals and the plans to move towards those goals. I also hope have a conversation with you, the reader, about enjoying life through God, managing money, learning to program, love, and anything else that happens to come up that week. I look forward to hearing from you, and will have another post for you next Saturday.
