Biblical Counseling


So I have been in California for almost one week now. I am here at Master's College taking classes toward my graduate degree in biblical counseling. Words cannot even describe the depths of what I am learning here. All day long in class, it feels like I am just in this amazingly theological Bible study class. I wish I could just get paid to go to school, do research and learn! The Lord also granted me the privilege of traveling out here for a week ahead of time with a precious family from my church back home through Arizona. We spent one day in Sedona, two days in the Grand Canyon, and then ended the week in Santa Clarita. They have five sweet children, one of whom I taught last year in the 4th grade. It was so encouraging to be a part of their family for the week and they generously blessed me with their love and fellowship. It is a trip that I will always remember. On top of that, seeing the Grand Canyon was a very meaningful opportunity to see God's creation in a way that I have never seen it before. Praise God for being the magnificent Creator!
