Through the last couple months of indecision and uncertainty (that nearly killed my soul), the resounding lesson was: "Do you not remember what I have brought you through? Do you not trust me?"
Only when I remembered that I am here for a purpose, God has not forgotten, and I don't need to worry so much - did something like this fall into my lap.
Discipleship/mentorship has always had my heart. Hurting teens have grasped my time and energy in countless situations, and I would love for it to be a part of my life. The hard part is that I don't feel ready (whatever that means..) to go into a specific profession at this point.
A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail as a response to an inquiry I had sent to a particular residential treatment facility. The response, however, was from an organization I had never heard of, but apparently works in conjunction with this facility. A one-year, paid program in which I receive one-on-one mentorship, live in a tight community of other people who love Jesus too, live with hurting teens who are grasping for the Lord, and gain some experience in the field that I think I want to pursue? God must have orchestrated this, for there is no other way.
After an interview process, I am officially accepted to this program. The first week of March, I will be moving to Kansas City, Missouri to do a program called Doulos Discipleship. Check out their website to learn more about who that are and what they do. You won't regret it. :)
Let us raise a glass to taking this next step.
