Soooo excited!
After 10.5 long years in school, and a 3 year sabbatical, I’ve finally created my first official Substance Abuse Counselor resume.
SO. EXCITED.
!
[sample from part of my resume]
Fingers crossed!

One of the most powerful things to give another person in this world, and yourself , is forgiveness.
Lord knows my good friend, Sandy, and I, had our personal tests in our relationship, but when there’s true forgiveness , there’s nothing left but love.

For Gav: I saw this in colour on my morning walk down an alley yesterday, but my brain immediately converted it to black and white & I thought of you. 😉 Hope you like it. xx

I cannot even begin to explain how God is blessing me in my life right now! Especially recently. I just stay in a constant state of joy and exuberance. Only God can do that.
So I graduated from Aspen University almost 3 years ago with my Master’s degree in Psychology and Addiction Counseling. I’ve never doubted that in God’s time, He would open the door and prepare my way to begin working on my clinical hours so that I can become a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’m already a mental health counselor- specializing in addiction, I’m just not licensed in the state of Indiana.
I was just given the number to the state licensure organization and I called and spoke with them, which led me to the Career Services Department at Indiana University (the college by which I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology). Because I’m an alumni of Indiana University East, I have access to their Career Services, allowing me to take advantage of their directing me in how to go about obtaining my clinical hours . GOD. HAS. OPENED. THE. DOOR!
I’m really going to be starting my clinical hours very soon! This is a huge moment in my life. 🤗 I’m ECSTATIC.
I legit can’t keep up with all of the blessings God’s sharing with me and my Mom- in tandem. It’s incredible . We’ve been rejoicing at the great things God is doing in our lives.
I didn’t see any of this coming. It’s when we let go of the reigns- those ridiculous reigns that we think help us but are really driving us into the ground- and let God, as the saying goes, that we’re freed. When we truly let go, we have peace.
Peace, and true happiness.
And that’s the only way to experience God’s joy, truly .
Thanks to Him, I live in His joy. 🙂 24/7.
He. Is. Awesome. 🤗✝️🤗

Happiness: That thing that eludes most everyone. We have money, homes, cars, friends, pets, food, love, etc. but are we truly happy? What about joy?
The difference between happiness and joy is: Joy comes from the Lord; happiness is rather a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When we feel actual joy , God is slicing off a piece of Himself and sharing It with us.
Happiness?
Ready for the greatest secret in the world?
How do you obtain true happiness ?

You choose it.
