listening to God

Hey y'all it's important to always listen to God's still small voice! God is always faithful and He is loving!  If you ever feel that you have gone off from the direction that God is leading you in, reevaluate your life and get back on the path God has for you!  Even if you doubt Him or if you lose focus He will always forgive you and He will always love you and He will always be faithful!

While I was in Hawaii this summer I was thinking about coming back to Texas to finish seminary and at first I was only going to complete my Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling and then I was like I might really regret not completing my MDiv so I decided I would pursue both degrees.  I started off doing both degrees and I just felt overwhelmed.  I started thinking about why I wanted to pursue the MDiv and I couldn't really think of any reason why I would want to get it other than I had worked hard towards it and wanted to finish it.

I am thankful for the knowledge that I have learned from my teachers and classes in the MDiv program but I do not really need that degree.  The passion God has given me is for Biblical Counseling and for helping people.  All the challenges and difficulties I have had and all the struggles I have had--everything God has taught me and brought people into my life to help me and teach me has not been for myself but so that I can help other people as well.  For example I have struggled with loneliness and depression at times and I know that God will use me to help somebody else that might be struggling with that as well.  My heart and passion is for biblical counseling and I look forward to helping women and whoever God brings into my life realize that there is hope to whatever they are facing and that hope is in Jesus Christ! I can't wait to disciple women and help them to become more like Christ! Thank you for running this race with me!
