Checking myself in for counselling was probably one of the best things that has happened to me this year. You may probably be asking "there's something wrong with you?!", but the austere fact is that all of us have our dysfunctions. The human psyche is an extremely complicated thing. We are all fallen, born and raised by fallen people, and surrounded by fallen people—no one lives in a vacuum—we affect each other in the most unlikely ways possible.
Well, I knew that I had to shake out my past in order to be a better person and a more effective worker for God. Counselling should not be seen as a stigma, but a wonderful tool of wisdom that God has given to us to help us grow into the person that He wants us to be.
Facing the past squarely and untangling myself from the knots that were left dangling was a major breakthrough—and I can't thank God enough. Getting to know myself better and making sense of why my brain functions in the strange way it does has made me feel more comfortable of being in my own skin—and more secure about being different. What is left now is to cross the final goal of what may be of most hinderance to my future ministry in church...
I am very thankful for God to have given me M as my counselor. At first, I hoped that it'd be one of the counselors that I'd already met before—but still I prayed that whomever God sent to me would be what He knows is best—and He did. I must confess that I was initially apprehensive, not knowing who she was at all and also the fact that she was not local. But God has shown me through her that what the Body of Christ can do truly goes far beyond human understanding and expectations, and His Spirit surpasses human knowledge and wit.
Thank You, Lord, for Your love I've seen through these sessions. Thank You for M—for the wisdom that You've given her—that she has guided me and shown me what You have to say to me. Thank You for Your moulding and correction, for I know that the discipline is from You as the Father who loves His daughter; His daughter whom He created. :)
[11] My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
[12] for the LORD reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.
(Proverbs 3:11-12 ESV)
