New Opportunities

Better to be prepared and not have an opportunity, Than to have an opportunity and not be prepared

- Gary Williamson

Wise words spoken by a wise man. I am currently studying to be a Biblical Counselor at my church. I am in the thick of it and am overwhelmed by all the information I have crammed in my brain. I try to retain as much as possible but some days I just have to put the books aside and just rest. After writing Hallways I have just been waiting for the Holy Spirit to guide me on what I should write next. So far God has been laying scripture on my heart about how to train myself to be Godly as it talks about it in 1 Timothy 4:7 and also James 1:22 says Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves, Do what it says. I am digging deep into the scriptures and trying to still my heart so I can really understand God’s commands. If I am going to have an opportunity to be a counselor I want to be the best counselor I can be. I feel like right now the Lord wants permission to rearrange the desires of my heart. I feel right now like it is so important that I understand that God wants to transform my heart. Luke 6:45…For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. There is no greater privilege than to love and care for others on God’s behalf. Therefore I am taking being a biblical counselor very seriously. I am holding onto Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. I need his guidance right now in every aspect of my life. I know he won’t disappoint me. Matthew 11:28 Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. I am still currently waiting in the hallway of life, waiting for doors to open but now I am taking Gary Williamson’s advice and I am getting prepared for whatever opportunity may come before me. I am going to end the blog with this scripture. Phil 4:13 I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Amen!
