God is AWESOME

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. 🤗✝️🤗

SELF

Full Bloom

I’ve always been a late bloomer. Who knew that I’d have to wait until I’m 53 before coming into my full blush of life?

(Since I don’t wear makeup, it was applied digitally. 😁) 💋

Crickets. I may be a weirdo.

I’m alright with that. 😁


A LEWK

Off to another meeting. Piggy tails and all…


Single…..

…with no desire to mingle. Not. A. Drop.

Freedom is the BEST feeling in the world.

Happy Fourth 💝

My Dad told me when I was just a little girl to never wear makeup. I’m so glad I listened. This one’s for you, Pops. ♥️

Another year gone! Happy New Year world. 🫀

Christmas!

Busted water pipe repaired and the water’s running again. Thought that was worth a smile if anything is. Merry Christmas to anyone who finds him/her/themselves at this dusty corner of the web! 🫀
