Not a good feeling at all. Jeff, I truly am sorry this has happened and can only go with Marlis in saying the doors God closes are as important the ones he opens. Who are we to say why things happen when we turn it all over to God. May you continue to plug forward in this career choice with HIS blessings and let Jesus' shine through it all.

The more I hear stories similar to yours, the more I'm selfishly blessed to have just gone the LPC route. I truly love the MFT portion of training. That being said.... I'll leave what I wanna say unsaid.sirEllerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102462614215372603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214279724280854768.post-77949536672072679632012-01-16T14:08:57.388-06:002012-01-16T14:08:57.388-06:00So sorry, Jeff.

Just know there are lots of people who love you, who sympathize with you and who are praying for you. Love you, son.

Certainly makes one lose faith in their government (oh yeah bible says you have to honor them, I am trying). I was in the court room when the federal prosecuting attorney only wanted a sentence of 56 months for a young man, yet the incompetent, spineless, guileless federal nincompoop judge handed down 87 months. Remember his own atty only wanted 56 months.. <br />I am so sorry this has happened to you. But it brings to mind a lesson we learned in our bible study this past week out of Acts, the doors God closes are as important as the ones he opens. Your continued faith will see you and your family through this and you will come out stronger and wiser. Maybe if you ask God what He wants you to do, you will have your answer. Maybe you are supposed to be there to prevent this from happening to another. <br />You are certainly a blessing to your family and community Jeff, don't forget that tidbit!Marlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965220365912256742noreply@blogger.com
