Why I Chosen To Be A Christian Counselor

There are many reasons I want to be a Christian Counselor. One of those reasons is so I can serve God’s people. When I enrolled at Faulkner University, my sole intent was to receive my Bachelor of Business Administration degree so I could learn how to start my own business. After a few months of attending, I started feeling in my inner spirit that God brought me to this school for a reason. God changed the plans and started revealing what he’d already predestined. In other words, I believe that God used the BA program as a decoy to bring me to Faulkner. When my instructors, Mrs. Cahoon and Mrs. Camp, started speaking in the atmosphere about counseling, it began connecting with my inner spirit, and I started praying about it. I love God, and I know that he is the ultimate counselor, but he also gives his people the wisdom to also become a counselor.
In these days, Christian Counseling is crucial because believers and nonbelievers are giving up on God and themselves. With counseling, I want to be able to show them a better way to deal with life’s problems and shine a light in peoples' lives so they can see another pathway. I want to give someone hope so they won't continue to give up. I will use God's word to plant a seed in their lives, so that seed will grow and flourish. My hope is to show them that utilizing God's word in their everyday lives will allow that seed to catch root and grow strong in Christ. As the individual grows in Christ and Christ grows in them, he or she won’t be able to keep quiet or hide it. The changes will manifest in their lives, and they will spread the word to others. Counseling is a ministry for the Kingdom of God. When you are encouraging someone with the word, you are ministering to them. God is the core of our lives, and I want to help guide people in that direction or continue to build their faith in
