Psalm 118

Ok, ok. The Lord hath made all the Daves, true. But this Dave was made by the Lord, hand-crafted to enjoy life abundant and to strive for a future with hope. Whether you're a Dave or not, you were made by God with a purpose too! With a name inspired by a t-shirt and and the 118th Psalm, and brought to you by the internet and technology, welcome to my web log.

Right now, I'm starting this blog as I also start a new chapter of my life: becoming a US-2 Young Adult Missionary through the United Methodist Church. I recently returned from training and was commissioned as a missionary on August 12. I am looking forward to beginning my service at the General Board of Church and Society in Washington, DC in just a few short weeks!

Prayer requests:

• God's continued presence and provision as I transition from Michigan to Pennsylvania, and then to DC, and that my fellow Young Adult Missionaries would also enjoy God's movements as they transition.
• An open heart and mind for learning about social issues, and a soft heart and tongue for times when I may disagree.
• Opportunities to discern vocationally during this time of service - will I connect my engineering with my faith, or do something altogether new?
