Well, I am technically well and truly into semester and all that it involves! There have been hiccups, but in all, the biggest problem already is the lack of time, and I just don't know where to start in terms of reading the books I currently have, so I can at least try to make a start on the HUGE assignments that are due just around the corner!
But for now, here's something I read in " The biblical basis of Christian Counselling for people helpers" the other day.
Human being are not hollow on the inside, empty selves who hide behind masks and have no purpose for living or no hope for the future except decomposition after death. Instead, we are created in God's image, valuable to Him despite our sinfulness, and challenged to be pure and holy. We can bring honor to God, even in the way we eat, drink, work, or engage in other of our daily activities, including counseling. At death, though out bodies return to dust, each of us has a spirit soul that continues to live and eventually will be reunited with our resurrected bodies. For believers there is promise of an eternity with Christ, where there are none of the tears we see in our counseling rooms.

How cool is that! I love the reminder that we are indeed valuable to God in all our brokeness, and that no matter what our lives look like now, we have the promise of eternity with Christ. What an amazing gift for each of us, and gift we can pass on to others in all we do, say and are!
