New Family Pictures
I have added some new pictures from this summer and now (gulp!) the fall!!! Yikes, its weird to even say that but I guess it’s true. This past summer went by SOOO fast with classes, going to PA, homework, playing with the kids, doing things outside, and getting ready for this fall. I am in the process of looking for a job and I currently have one good lead open so hopefully we will continue to be sensitive to God’s leading and make a wise decision.
Maggie is doing well. She is due with Baby #3 around Christmas time. We have named him Eli (yes, we know it’s a boy!!!) and are still deliberating about the middle name.
At the moment that is all that is going on around our house. We’ll try to keep you up to date more often. Enjoy your weekend!!

Grief and Loss Video
I just put together a short video for the students in one of my grief and loss groups at my internship. I thought I’d send you the link in case anyone else wanted to check it out. The song is called “Brighter Days” by Leeland. Have a great day!

A Different Perspective
I just finished watching all 5 of the parts from the “How Great is our God” tour with Chris Tomlin and Louis Giglio and I have been reminded again of my place in the grand picture of our universe. This tour is the sequel to the “Indescribable” talk Louis Giglio gave a little while back.
I am going to copy the link down below for you to go and watch this awesome and encouraging perspective. Make sure you have some uninterrupted time to watch because it is about 45 minutes long. I guarantee you will enjoy it. At the end of each part you will be able to click on the next part until you have seen them all.
Nouthetic Counseling and Adlerian Psychology
I just completed a class at Adler Graduate School that required me to write my own personal philosophy of counseling. The whole process was very challenging and encouraging because I got a chance to actually put on paper what I knew in my head to be true. I think a large number of people have ideas on what they believe about certain things but few are ever forced to actually sit down and completely think it through enough to logically place it on paper. I am very glad I had an opportunity to write this paper because it helped to solidify what my approach is when working with children, youth, and adults.
Below is my philosophy of counseling so if you’re really bored and don’t have anything fun and exciting to do (like watch grass grow or fishing in a bucket!) you are more than welcome to take a read and let me know your thoughts. I am by no means an expert on this topic and welcome your comments and suggestions.
