Masters

God help me to be who you want me to be. I have prayed this prayer over and over. I have such a passion with working with military families. I see the need for counseling these families during a deployment, after a deployment, and as veterans adjust. Especially in our reserve units, we are forced to find our own resources . Many times those resources don't have an understanding of what we go through during a deployment. I have prayed and prayed about this. For God to show me how I can work with military families as my career. Yesterday it just came to me. For years I have contemplated getting my masters and go into counseling. I recently found a Masters in Social Work program that has a focus in military families. I have talked to a few friends in the field and they have said the program sounds great. There is also such a need. I started my application today. I figure what do I have to lose? I have had people offer to write me recommendations. I talked to AJ about it today. He said he always saw me doing something like that. I think I will give myself the summer and start in August. If I go accelerated part time, I can be done before Graycen heads to school. The field experience wouldn't start until AJ got back. I just have this feeling I am suppose to do this ... Now ! I will keep you all posted on what I decide.
