The 12-year Journey

I’m officially a Social Worker!! After 12 years, I am a LCSW! I still have no idea why...haha… But, seriously. People inevitably ask what I’m going to do with the license now that I have it. I don’t know! I do know that I was supposed to get my Master’s Degree back in 2006. I had prayed about it and felt peace about continuing school. So, I did.

Then, life happened and I had babies and coffee shop responsibilities and never gave the licensing part of my degree much thought. Until 2 years ago. I began feeling like I should maybe, possibly, apply to get my license.

The beginning of 2018 was when God began to increase the sense of urgency for pursuing licensing. So, I did. I completed all of the application process and in Sept I took the licensing test.

No school for 11 years; 1 month to study 1 book I borrowed from an old classmate; 1 failed practice test; And, I was ready!! Ha!

I went to the test center completely trusting that my Father had led me to this place and that He would come through for me. He totally did!

I completed my background check via mail since we were already living in an RV and were somewhere in the middle of Cali.

Today, I checked my status and it is official! LCSW.

This is a reflection of how my life is led by my perfect Father God. I try to listen as he gently leads me along His purposes for me and for His glory. One step at a step; one foot in front of the other; not too fast and not too slow. I believe He will bring the next part of the journey to me just as He has done with all the other parts.

I am excited to see what that next piece of the puzzle is and I’m extra excited to share it with you!!!
