Family

So this past semester at college has been life altering. It's been amazing! I can't even begin to tell of all the things that have happened. I fell in love with my Lord again, and at the same time he brought a man into my life and filled my heart with love for him as well. God broke my heart for what is breaking His. My faith has been tested in ways that I never would have imagined. He has given me His strength. He has given me His words. He has changed me. Explicitly.
Love does not begin to cover it. My whole life I have been rejected by those who I desired so much to feel a part of. These people who call themselves Christians, who were supposed to be my brothers and sisters rejected me every day of my life, and now finally, when I thought that I would never see it God gave me what I never thought I'd have. He gave me something that I had given up on ever attaining. I was content with being alone, but HE...HE gave me that which I most desired, a family. He gave me not only sisters but brothers. Beautiful brothers who love me. Who are protective of me. Who pray for me. Who will for me to succeed and give me the encouragement I need to attain that which I seek. I've never had brothers. I've never had family. Even my own biological family rejected me. I decided that I am meant to be alone, but God showed me other wise.
Family. What a beautiful word. :') I'm a part of the family, and not just that I FEEL like I am. I am accepted. I am even loved for all the reasons people have hated me my entire life. Not only do they love me, but we are running this race together. Another thing I have always wanted. It's crazy. It's insane. It's unbelievable, but that's how God works.
"When nothing else could ever help, and I can't do this by myself. Love lifted me."
I love hymns. That one really means a lot. Words could never express.
