Weak faithfulness in strong hands

I had a really cool moment tonight. I was sitting with my host parents, my host "brother", and Dan tonight outside in my new back yard and I was reminded of God's faithfulness. I lose faith in God to the point that it is shameful. I am more apt to give up the long term dream for what's happening right in front of me. I lose faith and sight in God. This has changed a little over the last year. Remaining faithful to the call to do LT has opened my eyes to several different ways that God has fulfilled the desires of my heart, even some of the unspoken ones.
I have always wanted, but never had brothers; Dan has become that brother to me. He even gets under my skin like any normal sibling would, but has also been a vital source of encouragement.
I have always wanted to live in community. I now work for a community focused organization and live with two of the most generous and kind people I have ever met.
I wanted to be more confident. I am more confident because I am dead to this world, so there's nothing to worry about anymore.
I wanted a purpose and goals. LT is working with me to establish both.
I've received confirmation time and time again that this a place where God's will for my life and my desires finally meet. I have never known a peace like this, but it's infecting all that I do. I know that I am different and I know that the Julie I was a year ago would look at me now and say, I want to be that. She's got her head on straight. All because of God's faith in me and Him remaining faithful to His own plan for me. Uncompromising. He would not stop until he had all of me.

Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself... (2 Timothy 2:11-13)
