The Holy Spirit and Me

Yes, what has happened in the past six weeks has been transformative. I went back to graduate school to study religion. How did that happen? I have come to a juncture when you ask what I should do now. This was not out of dissatisfaction with what I was doing but a next step in my personal evolution. A low mood overcame me with powerful feelings of unattached anxiety. There was nothing in clear sight to be anxious about, but I was. I turned to prayer. Please free me from this existential angst. Yes, a sense of unease came over me. I turned to Jesus and pleaded for an answer. Nothing came soon over a week of silence. Then, one night during prayer, I had a vague premonition, nothing solid in my thoughts. The next morning, I awoke and casually was looking at my general news feed, and I can't remember the progression but down a maze of connections from one site to another.

Then, I ended up on the Liberty University website. I had heard of Liberty. A friend went there. And she is a solid person, so I said, what the hell and opened the site. I looked at a few pages and discovered, wait, this is in the Divinity school. I looked at some programs and said to myself. This is doable. The Holy Spirit gave me the answer: Take your experiences and skills and help my people and my followers. There was a piece of the puzzle I knew answered my prayers. The programs were manageable, with no overwhelming obstacles to begin. I aim to enrich myself and share my newfound knowledge of Scripture with clients in my practice. As a licensed psychotherapist, I resolved the legal problem of working with clients. Now for God's work as a pastoral counselor, to be enmeshed with the clinical training.
