So . . . I am just in the middle of a lot of wrestling with where in the world I want to go with counseling. Not that I have to determine my future right now (cause God's in control of that anyway), but what are my next step's . . . and what direction do I want to head????
This semester I have worked in a secular enviorment and it has been HARD not to have opportunities to talk abotu Christ. To not get to share about Him unless He was spoken of first. Then this week at the very end of the semester . . . I had two opportunities back to back to talk about Him, his church, and his Word . . . Crazy!
I think at the end the day, I really would love to be working in a place where the name of Jesus is often not heard. If given the opportunity, I would like to be in that kind of enviroment, but man it is hard!!! I went for months w/o the opportunity speak of Him! It is exhausting and feels hopeless . . . but at the same time I do believe that it is a part of where God has my heart. I just cannot seem to get past it.
I just do not see myself working in a church. I think somedays that it would be easier . . .but the bottom line is . . . my heart is not there.
I wonder what opportunities exist to work to work with the lost, but the name of Christ is allowed to be shared. I think I would fit there really well.
If you have any more thoughts on this let me know. I feel like I am all over the map on this and will probably continue bloogging on the subject so Do expect to see this topic again!

No matter what you do Kimmie, you do wonderfully. I was excited to hear you finally make a spiritual breakthrough at practicum! HOWEVER, I disagree that church counseling would be easier! UNFORTUNATELY, you deal with some of the most arrogant, pious, and self-righteous people in the church, who think they already know what the Bible says.
You get the privilege of telling people who don't know what it says, and revealing the mystery to them, that could finally have the answer they're looking for! But heck...I guess you have all sorts of people in both situations huh?
Also...you might re-spell the title of your blog today ;). But for hotties...spelling doesn't matter anyways.
Very good comments here, I should definitley word what I said in my blog (or just comment here). I definitley don't think it would be easier to work in a church. It will just be easier to have spiritual conversations. In other words, I think that they would naturally come up more often. This does not mean an easier road. Thanks for pointing that out!!
