Monday Morning, November 7th, 2011...my first day as a professional developer. The first day of my dream job. A job, that I had been working toward since I taught myself how to program GWBASIC back in 6th grade.

God made me a promise about five years ago , he said simply, "Trust me, and I'll give you a wife, a car, a job, and a new home." The funny part was at the time, I was living in my parents basement, working in a job that we barely got work at, no drivers license, and never dated anyone in my life. To say that I felt like Abraham a little would be no understatement.

So I trusted, and slowly the pieces fell into place, I walked out of the USPS on Black Friday 2006, with no job, just cause I wanted God more than a paycheck, especially since the job kept me out of the house of God. It took 6 months till I got a new job, but God was faithful, giving me several freelance jobs and a part time job in the meantime.

It was during that time that God taught me how to serve, and grew me in to the man I am today

A year after walking out of the USPS, I got my license and my first car. 2 months after that I moved out of my parents house and in with a friend, a month after that, I started dating the girl who would become my wife 9 months after that. Promise after promise that God made, God kept.

"Think about this. Wrap your minds around it. This is serious business, rebels. Take it to heart. Remember your history, your long and rich history. I am God, the only God you've had or ever will have— incomparable, irreplaceable— From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, 'I'm in this for the long haul, I'll do exactly what I set out to do,' Calling that eagle, Cyrus, out of the east, from a far country the man I chose to help me. I've said it, and I'll most certainly do it. I've planned it, so it's as good as done." (Isaiah 46:8-11 Msg)

Two years after the wedding, we had beautiful twin daughters, a month after their birth, I started work at Expedient. Graduated with my bachelors degree in May, and accepted the offer for my dream job the day before I left for graduation.

It took a 6 month security clearance, but God took care of the details, and proved, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).

I don't have a problem trusting, it may be hard, and it may not look possible, but He's never let me down yet...and I don't expect it anytime soon because, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8 NIV)
