I’m late getting today’s entry written. I had an early morning counseling appointment so I figured I’d write this afterwards. God continues to open my mind to the needs around me. Along with the appointment I just finished, I called a person who had asked for counseling. As I talked with her to set an appointment she said she wasn’t going to do so after all. She is approximately my age, but had been abused severely throughout childhood, even to the point of her mother trying to kill her and she spent two months in the hospital not expected to live. As we talked she said she changed her mind about coming, she just gets too upset and she doesn’t want to be upset at this point in her life.

I know this crazy emotional upheaval one goes through for I went through all of them myself before I had any help. Even after help, there are times when thoughts and emotions reoccur that you want to stuff rather than face. This poor lady will need more prayer before she is ready to let herself be angry and bitter for the sake of overcoming with God’s help. The needs are great but our GOD is greater if we will only give Him the chance.
