This week has been yet another fast and furious one. Even though my time is more consumed and accounted for, I am beginning to get the hang of it. It is difficult to see myself as a therapist that provides services to people, but it takes time. My supervisor has given me great advice while allowing me to ease into sessions. I can only continue to grow and give my sessions to God.
My life has changed over the last 2 1/2 years to include an increasing passion for reading my Bible and praying on a regular basis. That was my goal for years and I would do well for periods of time, but could never delve into a relationship with my Father that was more than asking for things. I truly think that my time with the teens at Southern Hills forced a growth that might have taken several more years otherwise. Not only was I teaching, but I was learning what it all meant to me. I began to meet friends who accepted me for who I am and didn't ask me to be anyone else. It is really cool to look back and see how I've changed for the better. I am able to try things but still remember who I am and whose I am.
Just yesterday at church, I was more outgoing than I have ever been. Moving when were were told to move and speaking words to people that I normally keep to myself. Without sounding like I am bragging, I felt like the Spirit was alive in me. I teared up easily when something was said back to me...I think that is a good thing. One of my mentors prayed over me and asked that I CHASE God. I know that he is always chasing me, but am I always chasing Him? That hit me and challenged me to never stop.
Well, that's all the thoughts I have for today. Tomorrow is Valentine's day...more to come!
