Busy as Usual
I had counseling yesterday and I learned a lot. My counselor is awesome. She helps me through so much. She is helping me discern between the rape back in October and now. I set a goal and she gave me homework. We dealt with the fears as well, so I indicated below progress on that. Goal- Remove from situation, get help, set boundaries, strong, whole, and closer to the Lord. Homework- 1. 3 things to say yes to giving yourself and the situation 2. 3 things to say no to giving yourself and the situation 3. 3 things to say yes to recieving yourself and the situation 4. 3 things to say no to recieving yourself and the situation I am quite stuck on the homework. Any ideas for any noted above? Thank you. I thought I was much farther along, but when I did counseling yesterday I cried two times. I have a long ways to go. I underestimated myself, and thought I was making progress. What progress have I made in the past 5 months? Any ideas? I am so confused. All I know is that my work is praying for me, and are wonderful. I think I slept for 15 hours on Thursday. I was so exhausted from work. I greatly enjoy what I do because I know it is making a difference in the lives of others. I would love to work there 7 days a week, but that is unrealistic, and I am so glad to be in ministry. I did great that night and had some funny moments towards the end when I was by myself. I hope to do that again when that time arises in the future. I will work today through Thursday, so please pray for strength. I also signed up for a class on April 2nd called, "Poverty and Racism," for work to get extra overtime in. I love what I am doing, and overtime is wonderful, especially being a poor college student (not like I was, though). Have a great weekend.

Sorry your counceling didn\'t go well. The fact is you are probably much better then you were when you started your counceling. Don\'t stop believing in yourself and the progress you HAVE made.
