April
Hello Community,
Happy April! Can you believe it's April? Crazy.
This month, I have been finishing up my master's, seeing clients, and enjoying some sweet time with friends. I helped some friends move, went camping, and have been taking an EMDR course (trauma-specific care) online. In between all this, I have started to lead an emotional intelligence course through our church. I truly anticipated 10-15 people joining each week. However, to my delightful surprise, over 60 people have signed up. Our community is hungry to grow in self-awareness and understand how this can influence one’s relationship with God. I feel so privileged to be a part of this course and share with people the passion God has given me.
This month has been calm, and I don't have much to update you. However, please find below a few snapshots, prayers, and praises from this month.
Praises:
I am officially done with my Master's in Counselling next week!!
I am really enjoying teaching this Emotional Intelligence course. I even joked with my class that I needed to find a new audience to listen to me since all my friends were tired of hearing me talk about this content. Although this is only partly true, discussing this topic is truly enjoyable.
Last month, I asked for prayer regarding my struggles with how I perceived others' opinions of me. I'm happy to say that the Lord has been guiding me in this area and helping me to trust in Him. I am learning to let go of control and rely on His certainty. I am grateful for this answered prayer! Praise God!
Prayers:
I have been finalising whether or not I will join the counselling centre here in the city this year. This will include doing the same ministry as I am now, just under a larger organisation. Please pray that the Lord will direct the decisions in this.
I have been pondering how to balance the mindsets of growth and confidence. I need to understand in humility that there are so many areas I can grow in as a new counsellor yet still stand in confidence in the things I've been learning. Will you partner with me in praying about this? I am praying the Lord will protect me and guide me in this balance.
Thank you for following along, and Happy April!
