The Prophet Jeremiah Mourning over the Destruction of Jerusalem – Rembrandt 1630
Something that may be worth looking at and/or ruling in/out, is to go for an upgrade in an already-robust qualifications in your work with kids and their families. I know you have tons of talent and love, and I wonder if you ever thought about adding a MASTERS OF DIVINITY to the mix??
Seriously- I was looking at it for myself and even went to an interview but the selection process at the seminary was quite stringent and l was not accepted. l wondered why l felt lead to pursue this particular seminary, why l felt l needed to go through the process to apply (trust me, it is a long application plus 2 full days of in service and interviews on campus). Then when it was over l felt very fulfilled and l wasn’t surprised that l didn’t get accepted because there was a spiritual component that l sensed was completed by the application process itself. It was a very healing experience to be told NO. Ok that is weird but true. You’ll have to just believe me on that.
l also sensed that l was to pass these sensations and beliefs onward but l didn’t know to who. This all took place approx 4 months ago and l’ve finally decided to open up to tell you. Maybe you’re place is to go to seminary, maybe it is not, that is for G-d to lead you and Jerry one way or another. But l can honestly say that the place l applied to is VERY special, very open to the inner voice of prophecy, very high quality in an intrinsic way– and l don’t even consider myself part of their religion. It really seemed like faith came first, G-d came first, loving others came first, and religion was a component or tool that may be an ingredient but didn’t have to be. There is a dual program to become a LMFT plus achieve the Masters of Divinity at the same time- or pursue one or the other separately plus many other choices and combinations. A main consideration for me was that the LMFT program was nationally accredited which makes it harder to finish but obviously thats worth it considering it’s purpose.
Anyway if you don’t think this is for you, perhaps you have a friend or other colleague that l could share this with. As l said, l feel strangely moved to pass this experience onward yet l have not been sure to whom this message needs to go. l sat on this for the past few months in somewhat of a quandary so any direction would be actually great right now!
