Someday I will...

If you've never read The Daily Tay's blog, then today is the day to do it.

I am so excited to link-up with her!

Someday I will...play my guitar and sing at an open mic night.

Someday I will...be a soccer mom and teach my kids how not to be an angry player and to enjoy the game.

Someday I will...complete everything on my to-do list for the day and then reward myself with a shopping trip to target.

Speaking of target, Someday I will...walk into the store and buy whatever I want without thinking about how much I am spending.

Someday I will...learn how to walk into a church without feeling like everyone in the building is going to hurt me.

Someday I will...work with teens again and be reminded of the passion I have for their generation.

Someday I will...spend all day reading a book in a hammock not on the beach but in the woods.

Someday I will...cook an entire thanksgiving dinner and not poison anyone who eats it.

Someday I will...think of more things I would like to do today, but today is definitely not that day.

Integration of Faith and Career

If you did not know, I am going to graduate school to receive my masters in Counseling Psychology. I am also attending a school that integrates faith into my classes. I have had a lot of questions on why this is important to me and today in class I realized why. 

If I did not believe in the Resurrection of Jesus, then I could not be a counselor. 

Now I am not saying you can only counsel people if you believe in God. I am saying that I could not counsel people if I did not believe in God.

I realize that as a counselor I have to believe my clients can die to their habits, tragedy, issues, whatever you want to call it. And then I need to believe they can rise again from death. 

If you are not tracking with me, then I am sorry. Putting this idea to words is difficult.

To make more sense I will give you an example from my life:

My first few weeks in Seattle were more difficult than I expected. I did not realize until lately that I had entered into depression and it was taking me to my grave. It seeped into every aspect of my life and I lost a little bit of who I was. Then one day the depression ended-it entered its death and I rose again back to the person I remember. 

The Resurrection story is so important to my career. 

I'm curious on how faith is integrated into your own career.

Thankfulness

I was asked in class today to live a life that takes the mundane and see the extraordinary in it.

So here it goes:

Time to try new experiences and build new relationships.

Skype sessions with my brother and our bond over AU.

Rainy days for the renewal they bring.

Brakes that stop at just right moment when you are hydroplaning.

Quality conversations filled with honesty. 

Driving and having the privilege to do it.
