So this is the beginning.

I'm not really a blogger.
I don't follow them, and I barely know how this works.

But one morning I was eating my breakfast doing my devos and found myself reflecting on how often my counseling classes reflect Christ's attitude towards His people. I also thought about  how I'm learning SO many powerful principles in such a short time during my studies as a MA in Counseling student here at Regent University...and how apt I am to forget things (my brain has a very small storage space).

As I took a bite of my eggo waffle with pb and honey I realized I needed to share what I've been learning. I don't know if people would even care to know these things, but for me they've been life changing. If nothing else, I want to write them down the golden nuggets so that I can go back for when I need a little reminder as to why I'm here.

I don't know if I'll leave this program and be a counselor, or a psychologist, or work in a school or another agency..but I do know one thing: I'll be a better friend. I'll know how to love others when there seems to be little to love. I'll understand how to truely listen. And I'll see how to look past their actions, and see the heart.

I'm about as Christlike as a stinkbug is like a wooly mammoth, but at least I'm moving in the right direction :)

...let the posts begin!
