Hi, so I worked in a restaurant for three and a half years and tried saving up as much money as I could and planned to invest it wisely. Work hard, save well, invest wisely, be able to support a family one day. That... Didn't happen as I had hoped, due to a few reasons I had to quit the job earlier then planned. I didn't have enough to invest. But on my last day the owner of the place and all my regular customers who I talked on a regular basis, all gave me some advice. They all (except one lady), told me to go into the tech field, saying they thought I could do it. And I thought they were dead wrong... I had a friend at the time who was a computer engineer as well, he recommended it also...

I prayed to God honestly, and asked Him to reveal if this was for me or not, if coding was in His plan for me... I knew if I could do anything in it, it was because of His grace and Him helping me. In junior high, I couldn't even do lesson one of computer science. It baffled me to say the least. So I knew that if I could do ANYTHING on here, it was through Him.

And it actually all made sense after that, I had my ups and downs but it made sense overall and I liked it a LOT. So I know that this is something that I have been given as a gift, it's not something I'm able to do by my own accord. And I'm not saying that I'm some crazy amazing coder, I'm actually pretty "meh" if even that... I'm just saying, what I have learned, is because of God. And because of that, I'm grateful and know I have to work at this as hard as I can. To use it to provide for my one day wife and family, whenever that time comes. And also to bring praise and glory to God in whatever way I can.

I want to be able to do this as a career, pay for my families needs (when I have one), be able to support the church, and support mission trips around the world. I want to serve in the way God has gifted me to, when I never deserved it.
