vision

so.....i have been feeling great lately.I feel like my old self. and it's funny cause i feel like i am coming out of a coma or something, although obviously not as extreme, i'm feeling renewed energy for life. I completed the second half of the training for Restoring the Foundations issue focused Ministry. So, now i (with a partner) would be able to take people through a 3 hr session ministering to them regarding one particular issue in their life. Under the mentoring/teaching of my mom and Diane who have been doing this ministry for awhile now. So i'm excited about that but this is where i feel like the old me. I'm ready to go for it, to jump right in and in my mind i want to jump ahead and see the potential of all of this, what we could do here in the city. I'm also excited because i've been asked to join the worship team at church and it would working with one of my oldest friends again. I am excited about singing again, i even had my guitar out a few times this week.....i feel as if i'm ready for life again. i think because we had kael, left ywam and moving to Scotland at the same time it was really hard for me. i was a new mother, i just left a ministry i had been with for 7 yrs and was kind of burnt out anyways.....now i feel like i've had time to rest, even though i have two kids, it's soo much easier this time, i'm enjoying it more. owen is such an easy baby, he's so undemanding and soooo happy. and i have a community around me and i'm pursuing things i feel passionate about I feel soo much more alive. So of course i'm wanting to be off and running, I feel as if i need to have a balanced life, of being a wife, a mum, being myself, having hobbies, and also pursuing ministry in certain capacities right now....so that's where i'm at. if anyone has any advice on anything i'm all open to hearing it....i feel as if i need to realy talk it all out with someone and maybe think it all through myself what it is i want..what is important etc....how to go after the things in my heart.

pretty brave of you to ask for advice on you blog. i'm usually trying to avoid it... souds like you have the right idea, i'm very pro counseling so i liked reading that you want to talk things out with someone- i wish more people were willing to ask for help.
