I’m a little slow getting this entry done today. My morning started at my daughter’s home getting the kids up and ready for school. Both my daughter and husband needed to leave by 6:00 am for their jobs, so grandpa was called in. It was nothing but fun!

What I wrote about yesterday and the lesson God is teaching me came into play as the counseling sessions began. It seemed as though every session needed for me to have that lesson right in front of my nose. For whatever reason, each session was going deeply into needs that hadn’t surfaced and in most cases, they had been withheld for the sake of the client not wanting known what was needing to be shared. Trusting God to help me listen and respond in His timing and with His wisdom was extremely necessary. The key for me was trusting at the moment of the session and then to trust today that God will continue working with them through the coming week.

All of this throws me back into the memories of my own help. I would be glad for a session and then block myself from dwelling on it until the next week’s session. After a year or so of counseling I finally awoke to my need to stay focused on the session’s content so God could work on me each and every day. This wasn’t just true for me, it is true for each one of us as we seek God’s help/healing. I just never realized until stepping into counseling how much learning I’d need. God never ceases to be AMAZING!
