Faith that saves us

God has given me a level of faith through certain times in my life in order for me the have greater trust and maturity in him.  When I was younger, I had a small level of faith, but through the years this faith glass has transformed into a pitcher.  Christian maturity as defined by Will Wyatt in the discovery Bible study I went through at Discipleship Focus is the ability to trust God in more and more situations.
After graduating from college then going through the transforming study of Discipleship Focus, I thought I knew I wanted to go into broadcasting or journalism.  God closed down those paths, (sounds cliche), but God knew the direction where he wanted me to go.  He led me to seminary and back to a desire to serve him in ministry in 2011 after a year of joblessness. Looking back on that time in my life, I knew God was leading me into the ministry.  I have always had a passion for youth ministry from my time serving in Young Life.
In my time at seminary, I have gained a greater passion to serve the youth in student ministry at the church.  God has been confirmed my desire to serve the youth in student ministry in serving him at church and taking classes at the seminary.  I just feel that God wants me to use my gifts to serve, minister to, and love the students/youth in full time ministry eventually.
Lastly, I recently graduated with my MACE degree from Southwestern seminary and I have been trying to figure out God's direction for my life.  God has given me faith to trust him every step of the way because of his past faithfulness in my life.  Recently, God has blessed me with this part time job in the Fort Worth area to work at Kroger's on University as a Courtesy Clerk doing multiple things.  This will allow me to work my way up with the company gain certain benefits and still serve at in the Christ Chapel student ministry for a few years until a full time job or internship comes open at Christ Chapel or somewhere else.  In Hebrews 11:6 NIV it says "And without faith it is impossible to please God,  because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  
God has increased my faith during these times in my life.  He has increased my faith from a glass into a pitcher and helped me grow into maturity in him.
