So, I am officially in graduate school here in Colorado. I am attending Denver Seminary where I am currently studying counseling. But, if you have read my profile than you should already know that. I am loving Colorado so far, and the weather is pretty much amazing. I am used to having 100% humidity in Arkansas, while here there is none of that.
I am living with two other roomies who are both older, but they are really great guys. One of them actually graduated with the degree I am obtaining so that is neat.
The Lord is slowly and already teaching me new things while I am here. He is teaching me to trust Him completely for all things, even in my school work. I don't think that is an easy thing, specifically when it comes to the mundane things of life such as school work or friends or what not. Does that make sense? Trusting God is difficult. I think one of the reasons it is hard is because we can't particularly see Him or feel Him. It is a total faith thing. I guess if it was an easy thing to trust God it wouldn't be faith right? I think God wants our whole hearts and to trust Him for everything in our lives.
I am asked why I want to go into counseling and help others. I have thought about it frequently. One, is because I love people and I want to hear their stories. Most importantly, I desire to others brought into complete wholeness and the redemption that only Christ can bring. Christ afterall is the ultimate counselor. He showed compassion on people, He binds the broken-hearted and it close to those who are crushed in spirit. If I want to be an effective counselor, I must look to Him for my source. Anyways, now I'm preaching. I'm going to stop now.
