Romans 8:28 is a Bible verse that has had a profound impact on my perspective on life, and all it has handed me.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (NKJV)
The Father has indeed showed me how to walk this out in living color; I do not fear life or circumstances due to believing this verse and seeing it play out in my life many, many times. 🙌
Today, I am overjoyed (and relieved) to have reached a very important milestone of my journey in serving others as a Professional Biblical Mental Health and Life Coach.
🤓I received the “Master Diploma in Mental Health Coaching: Crisis Response & Trauma Care” which qualifies me to become a board certified master mental health coach with the addition of one more set of courses (24 hours)! 🤓
(I already qualify for the regular board cert with this master diploma.)
Not an unlikely path
Tonight, I considered how none of this is out of the blue; it goes back to my younger years when I would devour psychology books. And, in college where I considered majoring or minoring in psychology but the more I learned about it the less comfortable it was mainly because of my own issues and not wanting to bring them into the room. Fast forward over three decades and it seems ironic how life can come full circle. What a blessing to possess to much knowledge already and to be on a side of the coin that will be edifying to others. The side that will allow me to share life experiences in a Romans 8:28 way with those I serve. (If I were a counselor or therapist, that would be a bit frowned upon.) To God be the glory!
My next step is to start creating resources, and I will be co-hosting a series for a podcast and will share the links to those here.
If you are on Facebook, I did finally create another page for this website and purpose, and would love to have you join me there: https://www.facebook.com/WDLwithStaceyLouiso/
I am blessed by your readership, thank you!
