The Background

For the last seven years, I have been seeking, healing, training, developing, refining...in short, in a magnificently tedious journey. First, it was discovering who God made me to be, then it was understanding who I am, then discovery the pain in my life and recovering from the consequences I experienced as a result of trying to run from the pain; then, it was moving fourteen hours from home to pursue a graduate degree, where I thought I was going to learn how to effectively help others...more on that later!
 
Following graduate school, which nearly killed me, I was unemployed for four months. I was hired by a non-profit organization, where I helped develop their program of integrating clinical counseling with pastoral care. During my time there, I further refined my areas of passion. Yet, I'm still waiting for full employment. Remember “frustratingly fulfilled”? After years of unfulfilled frustration, my spirit is full and I have found my niche! Now to make enough money to survive…then thrive!

Prior to this journey, I was in the business world. I excelled at that world but rarely enjoyed it. I had such favor from God during those years, though I didn't recognize it as such. Foolishly, I thought it was all me! Every time I got bored with a job, I would find another interesting job, apply, interview and get the job...EVERY time!

Please note: While I am not a theologian by training, I intentionally seek to understand my Father God and His ways. While I want to be accurate in my details, I do not want us to get caught up in semantics or deep details that may not have significance to the heart of the matter.
