One of the primary reasons that motivated me to obey God to start this ministry is because I believe that the Bible is foundational, essential, and sufficient for Christians in the realm of counseling. Call me crazy but I believe an all-knowing, all-powerful God can write a perfect book through imperfect men. What is impossible for God?
Unfortunately, the Bible is often neglected as a resource in the counseling room. I have had the privilege of witnessing God’s power to reconcile people to Himself and to each other in marriages and families EVERY day in biblical counseling. God’s Truth delivered in the love of the Holy Spirit through Christians is an amazing force for exacting change in the lives of willing believers who want to please God by becoming more Christ-like. Let me know what you think about this “crazy” idea that God has
much to say in His Word about how we are to think, talk, and act when overcoming our problems in this life!
I am in awe that God would bless me with a book that gives me guidance and direction on living a daily life that pleases Him. I feel it’s not a “crazy” idea, but a wonderful happening that occurs daily when I open my Bible to see what it is that He would like to bless me with that day.
In recent times, He has been teaching me patience. Ok, yes, that has been happening ALL my life, however, I feel an urgency that I would like Him to move a little faster. It seems that when I ask Him to hurry, He slows down. Through my sisters addiction, I have learned that God will do things as He wants. I am only given the ability to see a very small piece of the whole picture He is painting.
For a few short months, after many years of being astranged, my sister and I were in communication. Talking on the phone every day and now after I have tried to be honest and loving in my responses to her, she has decided to very politely talk to me occasionally (cutting back on cell phone minutes). There were three of us trying to help her, me, a friend and the pastors wife, and she is only speaking to one of us at present time. My heart is saddened. I feel that her addiction has taken more hold of her now than ever. Control. She has to be in control of everything. She will not allow God to help her. If she could rewrite the Bible, it would say, “not your will, but mine be done, Lord! And get on with what I want!”
I have decided that I will encourage her through email. Her world is crashing down on her and she won’t admit it. I will just continue sending her biblical principles in love that can encourage her when she realizes that she has lost everything.
I trust God and I eagerly await His plan for my sisters life and what role I will be able to have in it.
