It has been many weeks since I entered the presence of this space. I am not certain what has kept me from it, and honestly it doesn't matter. Today I reenter. I changed my picture to the lovely angel with folded hands. This represents my season of life today. A season of deep dependence and prayer.
I am approximately a week and a half from seeing clients. That is me, being a therapist. Uh, huh. I know what the world is thinking. How in the hades does this work exactly? Random girl gets 9 months of training and then they throw her in a room and expect her to be helpful. I am thinking the same thing. Hence, the praying angel.
I am petitioning the Lord to ready my spirit. To provide in ways that I would not know or understand. I get that this whole learning curve has to happen in the actual environment of the therapy room AND it seems pretty premature. I could use months more training and experience with modalities and theories. I know that being with people in pain and crisis is a lot more then brain information. It is going to require a lot of heart as well. Again, the angel.
My two best friends Fear and Anxiety would like to have their way with me and cause me a tremendous amount of wasted energy focusing on all the "what if's". I am deciding today that instead of letting those dear pals rule my life I am going with the angel. I am going to submit. I am going to trust. I am going to move in faith and believe that truly God has designed this season for me and all He wants from me is to trust Him.

WELCOME BACK girlfriend!!! And let me tell you, after years of "untrained" counsel from you, I can personally testify to the fact that you will be AMAZING. I can just see you in a chair with your notepad and glasses at the tip of your nose.
You are going to be a rock star therapist. Can't wait for you to believe it, too!
