A life lived towards God's calling
We already shared about some Christmas events, but we’ve had more parties since. We’ve had a lot of gifts, but even better, we were able to spend time with family and get some rest.
We hope your year was full of blessings and 2020 has even more in store. 2020 here we come.
…It’s December which means it is time for cookies, visiting Santa (apparently also visiting Elsa and Anna), and time with family. My mom’s side gets this done early, so I already have family pictures to show. Enjoy!
…Those of you who follow me on social media have seen some of the photos recently talking about my wife finishing up her Master’s degree. She’s been working for the past 17 months on her Master’s in Educational Leadership. Some of the rolls she could take with this would be as principal, director of Special Education, or as professor at a university as a teaching professor. These are all options, but as Ashley said near the end of her classes, “I don’t want to do anything just yet.” Ashley loves working with children and seeing the direct impact she has with kids.
…This week is another new change for me. I can finally announce that I will be moving into the position of Co-Occurring Program Coordinator. I will still be doing Co-Occurring treatment where I work with clients on mental health and substance use treatment. But on top of that, I will help create and build up our program through an administrative role as we implement several new treatment components to our agency to help people find recovery in the Ashland county area.
I’m super excited but would love your prayers as I go into this new endeavor.
…What a time the last five months have been. I’ll blame 100% of the reason I haven’t written on here due to me rocking and rolling with ChurchAndMentalHealth.com. The site has gone from once a week postings as a simple blog to two posts a week, a Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest social media account, a monthly newsletter (you can sign up here), and just recently released (now beta) project that has been 8 months in the works with my Church Mental Health Awareness cards. There is certainly more in the pipleline to come as well as other things I’ve glossed over because there is so much fun stuff.
