God's faithfulness from this past year

 The Discipleship Pastor asked the question on Tuesday night about what characteristic of God that we have seen from this past year.   God revealed to me in the past three or four days that God's faithfulness is what he has shown me.  He has been faithful in bringing me through some frustrating situations and being worn out at my current job lately.    I have been super tired lately and recently it has not been too fun.  For a while I had a few friends there and now there is not that many people at Home Depot that I would call friends.  

First, God has shown me he is faithful in giving me the strength. when I faced rejection in regard to Children's Ministry positions not working out in this past year.   Last April, I had an in-person interview at a bigger Arlington church for a Children's Ministry position.   I thought the interview went well, I had good eye contact, answered the questions well, and asked the interviewers good questions.  There has been other positions that I thought were a good fit, but they ended up being a closed door.  God has lifted me up out of disappointment in seeking a Children's Ministry position.   He has still used me at First Irving to teach the Bible and disciple children despite my calling not being fulfilled yet.  

Second, God has shown me he is faithful in providing me with a godly relationship, with my girlfriend Amanda Love.   I went through a series of rejections from different women before I met my current girlfriend.   Our love story is amazing how God brought us together at a meet up for the Heart of Dating Texas group.   Heart of Dating is a singles ministry that Kait Warman started that was initially a podcast.    Now, we have been dating for five months and we are seeking God's will in engagement/marriage.   The interesting thing is we are both seeking God's leading on God's wisdom in career stuff.  

We can trust God in faith by remembering what he has done in the past.   Jesus is matured my faith in the past, I need to keep trusting he will provide for him in the future.  David saw God's faith in helping him as he tended to the sheep, so he asked God for strength to defeat Goliath.   Hebrews 11:6 says, "without faith it is impossible to please God." How can we keep trusting God in faith?
