You will bring LIFE where there is was once darkness and death. You will bring HOPE where there was despair. I am so very excited for this new journey for you! I work with so many kids and teens who are bound by depression and anxiety and am always so appreciative of the work counselors do. They are a vital part of the healing that happen in these precious souls. I get reallllly excited whenever I hear someone is in a counseling program because this is a part of my nurse practitioner work that breaks my heart daily as I see young teens waste away in despair and lies that they've believed for so long. So when I hear that a Jesus-lovin', compassionate soul is persuing counseling education, I am stoked because they are TRUTH-bearers in a land of lies. It's a hard job, but if God has placed this in your heart, He is faithful to equip you daily for His work!!Elena Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685353322770187159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-48332814226041809542013-11-04T12:59:46.946-08:002013-11-04T12:59:46.946-08:00i just discovered your blog, and read through your...i just discovered your blog, and read through your about pages and love story, and just wanted to say that it was all so encouraging. my husband and i also love to travel, have always dreamed of moving into a low income neighborhood at some point, and we are both graduate students. i just started my master's in august, and it definitely takes a bit of time to flex your school brain! be patient with yourself and always remember WHY you are in school. peace and grace to you,<br />m.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854777936938098466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-7148225074967015892013-11-03T15:47:25.370-08:002013-11-03T15:47:25.370-08:00This is absolutely beautiful!
