Tomorrow will be my last day of class (minus the two I need to make up this summer) and practicum has been a good and hard situation. I've learned more about myself than my clients. I've also discovered that I have a lot of internal work to do in order to be the best counselor I can be. It'll take time and I am a work in progress. That's expected with me being new, and I have great supervisors. (Thanks, L!) I've seen huge progress between last weekend and this weekend. I decided to quit beating myself up and start celebrating little successes. I feel like I am soaring with broken wings. I am choosing to just be in these moments instead of fretting over the future and what that looks like. I am learning how to be a good counselor.

l came upon your page but what would seem pure accident to some......to others maybe not. I enjoyed perusing your posts........
To me your feelings of inadequacy are a good thing........you are not full of yourself and your new found knowledge and still have room left to lean on God and allow him to work through you. It is when we feel strong in our own right that we often fail as we begin to not lean on him who knows all the answers already........
"You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength." Hang in there and keep flying....
