Today the journey does continue. I haven’t done a counseling appointment for 5 days and it begins again this morning. It seems as though I’ve been gone from it for months, yet I know as soon as we start all of that will go away. I went to meet with my prayer warrior Lois yesterday morning. It was so good to meet with her again. I am so lucky to have her as part of my life. She asks all of the questions I need to talk about and I’m assured they will be prayed over. The unexpected blessing is when she asks about a counselee of the past to see how they are doing today? It is then I get to reflect and see for a moment that God is using the counseling. My nature is to let someone go as they finish and move right into the replacement. I don’t intend to forget or ignore those who finish, I just don’t remember to reflect until, like yesterday, I’m asked a question as Lois did. It is a blessing having her in my life.

As this day comes into play I want to be a tool in my Father’s hands by surrendering anything selfish and listening carefully to Him acting on all that He nudges through His Holy Spirit. For me, to do this, I must live just as the Serenity Prayer says, “…one day at a time, one moment at a time….” It is then that I can see the next step to take or to step away.
