When I had my brief stint in college nearly 20 years ago, I had no idea where my life would take me. Neverr did I think I would develop an interest in psychology, and a fascination with how the human brain is affected by trauma, loss, and abuse.
My life's journey has led me down this path. My own losses and struggles have made me stronger, and have led me through my own path of healing and redemption. My journey as a mother, especially to children from hard places, has shown me how healing can come, and how He can use me to help bring it about. The people He has brought into my live over the years He has used to show me something deep inside myself, a part of me that desires to help bring about healing in others. My priorities and my heart's desires have changed over the years. I find myself on a path I never imagined I would be on.
And so, tomorrow morning, I begin the journey of earning my master's degree in marriage and family therapy at Capella University, and working towards licensure. I am nervous, a bit overwhelmed and even slightly terrified, but mostlly I am excited. Let's do this!
