So What”What problem, perspective, paradigm, or perplexing peo.docx
“So What?”
What problem, perspective, paradigm, or perplexing people puzzle keeps you awake at night? In what way has the Holy Spirit used course materials to address a piece of junk?
While choosing Bruce as my care seeker, I didn’t realize I would identify myself. Much like Bruce when tragedy strikes, there is strong possibility that I would block everything and everyone out, only to focus on what I may feel is important. I have created distance with my family members at times I should have been drawing closer and loving them more. Something I took into consideration is Kollar’s (2015) “Do Something Different.” If what you are doing is not working, stop doing it and do something different. Sometimes we all get into unhealthy habits (Kollar, 2015). Now I wouldn’t say that this issue has kept me up at night, but I have put so much of this perspective into work, that it has brought me out of a loner’s space. Another great aspect that proves the holy spirit is working and through course material, is the acknowledgement of God always being active. There are capabilities within the counselee that God has already revealed in his past that will help him effectively manage a specific problem in a way that is pleasing to God (Kollar, 2015). This is the reminder that God is always with me no matter what stage I am in my life. Psalms 139:23-24 says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!” 24 “And see if there be any grievous ways in me and lead me in the way everlasting!” (ESV)
“Whats Best Next?”
Self-Care: Self-Care can be hard for any person but most difficult for those who take care of others. Some may even think that having others take care of them is just enough. Self-care consist of taking care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Resting is an act of faith. We rest because God says we should/can. Trust that He will continue to work and take care of things even as we are resting (Our Hearts Journal, 2012). One of my greatest worries is when I stop everything stops. Once I realized that God will always handle the beginning and the ending, rest will become inevitable. I love this revelation from Peterson (2015), “In the presence of thera-noxious folks, we feel less healthy and secure.” Although others may never acknowledge this factor about therapeutic people, the fact that we acknowledge that feeling, leaves us with the responsibility to take care of ourselves.
Self and Securing Relationships: Relationships and community is one of the healthiest aspects to a healthy life. A counselee should always feel safe and secure when encountering a counseling session or group counseling session. Working in the church community mostly, safety and security are most important. Most individuals see ministry leaders as one of the main resources for help when searching. A minister should make referrals for two reasons: (1) to provide the church member or counselee with competent care and (2) to safeguard the.

- 1. Follow my blog : justingeisheimer.theworldrace.org February 15, 2015 Hola a todos! I began this journey several years ago when I was 21 wishing that I could continue doing more mission work for God after my short stint at Capernwray Bible School in Costa Rica. There, God really started speaking into me about Latin America and gave me a drive to learn more about the people who lived there. Fast forward five years of finishing university, working odd jobs, and other things, I felt that God was finally opening that window I thought would never be opened; the opportunity to do a once in a life time mission adventure with him to eleven Latin American countries in eleven months. He provided things for me in this time that I never thought were possible. The courage and bravery, motivation, finances, along with all the other support I needed to trail-blaze new ground to really seek Him out through helping others around the world. I experienced a year of brokenness in the things I’ve seen which lead into a deeper dependance and trust in God through those times. It was in those times that all that was left was God. I’ve seen many ministries starting, and others merely sustaining. I’ve been in relational ministries, talking to youth, and other times our team was 1 The World Race 2014 Puerto Rico, DR. , Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala Children’s Day in Xenacoj, Guatemala.

It was both emotionally and physically draining, but the amazing part was how God used the people we thought we were pouring into, to at the same time pour into us. I remember months where the simple act of a family who had very little would invite us into their home and let us sit around their table for a meal. The encouragement and joy I received from this year was amazing! Centre for Global Action (CGA) January - May Moving forward I am now in something called Centre for Global Action at the Adventures In Missions head office in Gainesville, Georgia, USA. Its a program that has been put together by the same organization that began the WorldRace. In CGA I will be involved in community, discipleship, formally and informally, an apprenticeship while working within the background of Adventures in Missions Parent Ministries department, and a few courses that include one titled “Dangerous Jesus”, and another titled “Emotionally Healthy Spirituality”. Also worship track! A time to discover how different aspects of worship fit in the body of Christ and how to be confident in those giftings. These are all things that in this community will help activate me and my peers into our callings while strengthening an identity and relationship with God. So, personally, I am so excited to see what God will do in this next season. Please pray for me that I will continue to step out in faith for Him, because it’s never risk with God, its just faith. Pray that I will receive all levels of support; emotional, spiritual, and financial. Continue to follow my blog and I hope to send out more of these letters with more details on this program and the weekly happenings of life here as a CGA apprentice.
