The Uncommon Path

©

I spent four years in undergraduate school majoring in psychology, building the "skeletal system" of clinical theory. Those years formed the root of who I am as a clinician. I then spent another 2.5 years in grad school earning my clinical Master's degree, adding the "muscle."

Now, at the tail end of over two years as a Resident in Counseling, I am adding the "breath."

It is this breath that has allowed The Center for Life to become more than just a coaching business that started ten years ago—more than a business of therapy—it is a business of hope, of balance, and of life!

The Solid Ground

This has been my path: one with many curves, dips, and peaks that have fallen, but always on solid ground. That solid ground was, and still is, anchored in my faith and belief in the God of all Creation; in Jesus the Christ, through whom all things were made; and the Holy Spirit, who has taught and guided me.

Might I add, this is not just any path. It is my path, the "Uncommon Path"—the one of most resistance and turbulence. This path has demanded much humility, servitude, surrender, abiding, and obeying. I always ask my family in the ministry:

How can you obey if you will not abide? How can you abide if you do not obey? And how can you do either if you will not surrender?

The Great Exchange

You may walk your path differently, but this is my way to walk the path placed before me. Not because I chose it, but because it chose me. It called me to this journey so that I could learn—through both spirit and education—how to reach people who, regardless of their faith or religion, could benefit from knowing me, and I likewise.

This is a great exchange of sorts; perhaps not equal, but that is how balance is bought, life is transformed, and hope is restored. Thank you to those of you who have met me on this path and have entrusted me with your story and your purpose.

All that I do is for your good, so that my purpose may be fulfilled in this great exchange on this "Uncommon Path."
