There has been a good deal of water pass under the bridge since I wrote my autobiography a little over 8 years ago. I was nudged almost continuously a few months after it was published to begin writing this blog. I was finding that writing the book only told my story up to the present. In the last 8 years God has been continuously working to deepen my relationship with HIm, His Son Jesus and particularly with His Holy Spirit.

A year and a half ago we started the biblical counseling program at our church (we is three). The other two are retired licensed counselors who are christians. One of them I’ve known for several years. She has helped our Celebrate Recovery ministry in numerous ways. She is the one I observed counseling for 2 months before I stepped into seeing people on my own.

I am taking an online course presently to gain the wisdom to use a counseling technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping). I know this procedure as it was used with me for a couple of years. As I was in a class session Monday morning for 3 hours I heard about a procedure one can use with tapping to address types of addiction. I’m having the counselor I mentioned above use this with me later today in between our own sessions. As I was journaling this morning I told Jesus I am tentative about this but He assured me His nudge to do this is not in vain. My skepticism is not from Him. He said to trust His nudge so that is what I’m going to do.

There is a song our quartet sings called: Step Into the Water. A few of the lyrics are: “Step into the water, wade out a little bit deeper. Step into the water of His Love….” I’m wading out!
