Need a Break

I have worked in the past two weeks a lot of hours, and am so glad to have today and tomorrow off.  My co-worker is in the hospital with a blood clot in her lungs, so please pray for her.  In regards to work, my organization is helping me with my fears in many ways, but I am thankful I get to start up counseling Friday.  I need it really bad.  I have continuously gone through the workbook, and have four chapters left, but now I need her to work with me on the coping skills, so that I can move forward all the more.  She has helped me a lot, and I am so glad that I have a therapist who is willing enough to help.  If she didn't have to deal with a family crisis, then I would be past a lot of this even more so, but that was not the case, and that is okay.  All I know is that I have a wonderful support network, and I love everyone very much. Oh, the night of the 5th was my first night to run the shelter all by myself.  So far, I am doing well.  I hope it stays that way.  I will give you an update over the weekend or before hand, since I have Thursday and Friday off. I did learn something about myself in the past week when going through a chapter in the workbook.  I learned that I have forgiven my perpetrator spiritually and emotionally, but not cognitively (thoughts and actions).  I know that I have a long ways to go, but its neat to see some of my progress in the matter. I am surviving school and longing for it to be done really bad.  At the same time, I am very excited that I get to start up graduate school, and continue on in my studies.  The three month break was much needed, and I am thankful.  Now I will go into refreshed, and ready to give my all. Please continue to pray for healing. Have a blessed week.
