Well ya'all in 24 hrs I will be finished for the semester. My 2nd semester or 1st year of Seminary will be concluded. Now I have before the task of deciding to want to continue on the path toward the M.Div or do I will I be content with a M.A.P.C (Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling). Right now I am 98% for the MAPC. I am ready to be out of school and on to the work of the Lord, but then I wonder to myself... What opportunities are out there for a Baptist girl with an MAPC???
Realistically it might be hard to find the job that I really want. I want to work in a church with a focus on women and children, and especially with an outreach focus toward women and children that have been abused. I am not exactly sure what is out there is that arena. I've been some research, but most counselors are licensed. So, I realistically should pursue state licensure in counseling, but that is a LOT more money in school, and quite frankly I am ready to be donating to my retirement fund, and my vacay fund, and my "1991 Honda will not last forever so I should probably think about getting a Fit" fund. Oh the joys of adult hood!!!
So, there is a lot on my mind right now, that I could use prayer for. Deep down in my heart I want to be a stay at home Mom, who works out of the house as a counselor. But for that I need a hubby, so I can't put all my apples in that basket! (Aaron Rodgers hasn't called lately... and he better cuz Spring Training and Mini-camps are going to keep him busy soon, and I'm not getting any younger...).
Have a wonderful Cinco de Mayo. I celebrated the holiday by drinking a bottle of Sarspirilla! I know I know, I should lay off the hard stuff... But just think I could have gone for Birch Beer or Root Beer...! Ciao!
