Coming Back???

So I have been gone from the blogger world for awhile. And the reason is.... most of the blogs I would read and participate in are theologically based. When I first came home, I was very into the debate since I was fresh out of Seminary and had oh so much wisdom to contribute (ha ha ha). Now, my day to day world is focused so greatly on psychology and counseling. After awhile, I felt I did not have to much to contribute and many discussions and articles were hard for me to follow and I felt so out of the loop. I also did not know what to write about. Do people really want to know what it is like to work with sick children? I have much to complain about when it comes to meth-addict parenting. Who really wants to hear about my grumblings and frustrations with government based mental health programs? But in reality, that is what I am about right now. I would love to have free time to read some of those books I didnt get to in Seminary. Or some of the recommended books on people's blogs. But when I have free time I read about child-centered therapy, or working with difficult families. That is where my heart and passion is, that is where my free time is going to be focused. For me it will be fun to share a little part of my world, because kids are amazing to work with. They remind me that I need to approach christ like a child would.

Seriously good to have you back - I want to hear about the convictions of your life and the frustrations those convictions cause to swell up in you. I think they are kingdom frustrations. The category of "intellectual-theological-all talk/no action blogs" is crowded enough out there. What we need are more "unique-thoughts-and-unique-narratives from everyday-people-striving-to-live-extraordinarily" blogs

Blog for you and for no one else.
Allow it to be therapeutic and space where it's okay to wrestle with the darkness of this world. It's where you are at and you are playing a significant redemptive role in our world.

I'm SO happy that you're blogging again, sister! I'm increasingly discovering that the good news of Christ's redemption is aimed at every arena of life. I'm so eager to read your experiences on the job with these kids and their families. The disappointments, the struggles, and the victories. What an awesome ministry you have over there! Can't wait to hear more about it.

Life & peace! - Johnny
