Small, Personal Update:

It has been an interesting season of solitude and obscurity here in small-town USA. God continues to provide financially for me. My days have been mostly spend writing. I think the major thing God has impressed on me, or the lesson I am currently learning is this:

When I was driving alone around the USA for 63 days, Jesus asked me one night: “Are you willing to become unknown so that I can be known.” This challenged me and continues to challenge me, but a few weeks ago God up the stakes, as He often does. I was wrestling with the solitude and obscurity when God broke in to my musings as He said this: “You must become unknown even unto yourself.” Of course, there are a thousand scriptures it seems that would fit this… but it’s deeper than all of that. When God said this to me it was as if He was showing me a vision as well, as often happens when He speaks. I was walking along next to myself, seeing myself in my peripheral vision, and that is what God meant by being unknown even unto myself.

I somewhat understand solitude, it drives me wholly toward the Lord. It disconnects me from others, focusing me on my assignment. I somewhat understand obscurity, it removes things like fame and fortune in this life and world from being a possibility. But being unknown even unto myself I am still trying to grasp. It seems to have something to do with ‘not letting your right hand know what your left hand is doing’. It is kingdom for sure.

There is an aspect of this that happens when I sit to write, giving myself over to God to work through. In one moment I am me and in the next I am finished writing. Somewhere between the prayer ‘Fill my mouth with words You want to say.’ and setting down my pen the writing happens. I somewhat understand dying to yourself and picking up your cross, but it seems that this ‘being unknown even unto yourself’ goes beyond all this. It’s as if there is a line on the ground that I must cross over, but can’t quite figure out how to do so yet.

It’s funny to feel God nudging you to share about something and yet not really understanding what you are suppose to be sharing about… but then it is the same with the books. He has given me the book titles for the series. From there He gives me the chapter titles and from there He fills the books with words.

At the end of the day I am just a video game designer, a gamer, trying to be obedient to what God has asked me to do. A broken vessel for God’s glory to flow through.

I think there is something that is coming for me, a blindness I must gain, a deafness I must have. White hair and white eyes.

Writing this book series has felt like wading out into the ocean. When I began to write I could see around me and I could move freely. As I step further and further into the deep waters, I can see less. Hear less. Move less.

If you’ve read this, please continue to pray for me.

Until that day…
