One Step Closer...

This is the preciousness that I have been missing while away at school this semester. 

Enjoying the sunset at the golf course....on a Tuesday night.

I have been busy trying to better our lives.  I want the best for my marriage, my kids and my future clients.  I hope and pray that what I am pursuing will be a gift of myself that I can give to others…my time, my compassion, my genuine concern and desire to help them.

As of yesterday, I am one step closer to graduating and being home with my sweet family more because I passed the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Exam or as we call it my COMPS exam!! I am so excited!

I am very thankful for Jason who steps in to be Super Dad!! He is so supportive of me, our kids and our future!!!

I am also thankful for all of my fellow classmates.  We are in this beautiful journey together and they have taught me so much.  Thank you all for sharing yourselves with us.  My professor, Dr. Yvette Castillo…. Dr. C is absolutely the most passionate and inspiring counselor/teacher/woman/friend I have met.  There has never been an encounter with her where I did not learn something valuable.  I have had many wow moments in her classes.  I would also like to thank Jay Anna Cherry for agreeing to work with me this semester…you have been such a blessing, thank you!

“If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care – then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.  Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top.  Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.  Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage.  Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.” – Philippians 2:1-4 (MSG)
