What's Next.......

 …..Well we have no idea!  But we feel God pushing us in a direction that’s new, scary, and unknown.  Its been this way for quite sometime, which is part of the reason I decided to be a crazy person and try and do my masters with 2 toddlers! 

            School has not been easy….not just the time commitment but the whole field in which I am pursuing.  I don’t fit the “typical” counselor mold, or personality, which has bred doubt and insecurity.  And honestly there have been many times over the last few months that I have seriously asked myself “what are you doing?”  But in those moments of doubt I am reaffirmed that this is exactly where God wants me to be, out of my comfort zone doing life his way and not mine.  I start my internship in two weeks and like everything else so far in the program I can see God’s handprints all over it.  I was hired to work with high-risk families…. I am exited and nervous, and I have a feeling it’s going to be a hard 5 months. My program in 60 credit hours and 900 clinician hours…it’s a lot, however, in Aug. I will be half way through…. yea!

            Which brings Scott and me to have conversations about our future that are difficult and scary.  We have narrowed it down to a couple of options, I wont give details…. because well we don’t really have any right now, we are praying and waiting for some clear direction.  Basically the point of all this rambling is just to ramble…. my head and my heart are really excited, stressed, full of questions and curious as to what the next few years will look like.  I feel like we are walking up to the base of a mountain that we are about to climb…. we can see it, but until we start on the journey there is know way of really know what the trail will look like. 

  On a less vague note, Garrett’s court date was postponed until July 10th we are eager to finish this process and excited that in 2 months Garrett will celebrate his 1-year home anniversary!  Time really does fly by!
