Recently I took my license exam for becoming a counselor. If that does not sound daunting let me correct you and tell you otherwise. Especially to be faced with theory questions at 9am. I cannot express what was on the test because I am ethically bound, however, lets just say it was a booger. I now have a few other steps to take care of to officially have the license in my hot little hand. This costs money and will come with timing no doubt. As I relish in the fact I passed and what the future looks like it It becomes apparent that jobs are scarce for therapists let alone ones for provisonal licensees. I have not made plans at this time to leave my job or anything so let me make that clear. I will still be working where I have for the last 4 years until another job is procured. At that point it will have to be a job that will allow me to work around it and get in my counseling hours. I do not want to spend an entire 5 years just to get contact time. That’s absurd and I do not have anything limiting me at this point. Hopefully the job itself will be in counseling however I will be realistic and recognize this may not be the case.
I have so much I want to do and achieve It is hard to decide where that will begin or even how. I can tell you that I am heavily relying upon God to speak thoroughly and clearly to me and give me the guidance to what is next. Each little step makes achievement and successful stories. There will be moments along the way I may not understand or can even fathom but I must keep pushing forward.
I am encountering new people, friendships, relationships each day and week and thoroughly enjoying my share in those relationships. I have neglected this area the past couple years and was parched for its return in my life. The Lord knew this and provided for me very well. I can’t imagine my life without some of these friends and would be greatly burdened if I had to live without them.
So these adventures whether they be for work, relationships, career or family. I will take the adventure head on. I learn, I grow and most importantly I learn reliance upon God. So there you have it friendlies my update. Keep reading, listening and leaning…on the ONE who knows you best.
