What a great opportunity I have to be able to counsel people in many different ways. Thankfully I have begun to learn that it is not really up to me to fix anybody, I leave that up to God, I just try to be obedient to what he wants me to say. So many times and so many ways I think everything is up to me, but I know now, that nothing is up to me, I simple have a choice to be or not to be - obedient.
2 of 6 session complete of my first pre-marital counseling session and man what a blast. First of all, what a great couple. It is awesome when God brings 2 people together like he has these 2. I am going to really enjoy our time together, but better yet, I am going to enjoy watching them grow.
I wish I had been taught what I am teaching and I hope that couples take advantage of good pre-marital counseling (not me, but what I have been taught to teach) this is good stuff. Understanding what our expectations are before marriage. Understanding that fights usually come from UE's unmet expectations - and those UE's can be legit or not, and how to work through each. If we could just get it through our thick heads (mine) that the enemy is always at work and he wants nothing more than to keep us shooting at each other, if we could turn our focus and our guns toward the enemy we'd be so much better off.
Looking forward to the remainder of our time together.
