Strikers 2 - Herricanes 0 . Today I played my first soccer game since I left South Africa - and we won... and it rocked. New season, new amazing teammates, and new bright green jerseys and socks to add to my repertoire. . And to start the game off strong - I took a lovely header right to the face and got a nice little memento on my nose 😂⚽️💪🏽 . #gladigotthatoutofmysystem #alittlerusty #shakeitoff #chicksdigscars #donttellmygrandma
One down. One to go. . My heart is so full. What a week! I’ve been stretched, challenged, overwhelmed, blessed, loved, pushed, and comforted. I’ve met new friends that I can truly call family, and I’ve learned new skills that I will carry with me forever. . I am so grateful for this experience to put my knowledge into practice, make mistakes, and grow as a counselor-in-training. This is just the beginning, and I am so excited for what’s to come! . Next week... Group Therapy!
✨Prayer Request ✨ . This Saturday I’ll be flying to Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia to complete two back-to-back intensive courses for my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling! . The first week of hands-on learning will teach us how to use various helping techniques to build safe relationships, a strong therapeutic alliance, and trust with our clients during individual counseling sessions. . The second week will focus on how to lead and co-lead various types of group therapy sessions. During this intensive week, my classmates and I will be sharing a lot about our own journeys, traumas, challenges, and victories as we work together to practice our skills. . Please keep me in prayer as I travel for the next two weeks, meet my classmates for the first time, and complete all my assignments and activities for this on-campus portion of my degree! . Thanks friends! Love y’all!
