Alpha and Omega Counseling

How often have you looked at each day and wondered how did it get so busy?
Did you look at the stuff you do and rethink how you could make it more efficient?
Do you do everything for everyone else and leave no time for yourself?
What is the balance of doing for others and taking time for yourself?
Do you think your world would stop if you didn't do all that you "have to do"?
Are you the CEO of the world?
Have you ever heard the words enabler or codependent used to describe you?
Do your family members or close friends seem entitled?

OR

Do your family members help you and each other in doing things or finding ways to make the day better for everyone?

Do your family members naturally know that working together is not to "earn"what they deserve,
but simply enjoy achievement and helping others gives them fulfillment?

Are you proud of the folks in your family that constantly step in and help and yet are never too busy to help their own relatives or friends?

These are common in many families, but often we get into routines that leave you tired, feel that youre being taken advantage of, not appreciated, maybe even feel unloved.

You control your day. Pray, communicate, help, define the problem before jumping in without realizing the real issue. Balance your time doing things to help and teach others and to learn who you are and the value in the things you do.

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

The way we think, seeking perfect guidance, methods to doing the right thing in our decisions, being willing to challenge what we think we know, accepting and seeking understanding of faith in God, acknowledging that there is more to life than only what we can see and understand.

That verse has so much. Does the person that reads that and desires to expand their intellect, need to be humble? Can a person truly change their beliefs? Do we need to be saved by Gods love to be renewed? What if merely surrendering our pride, our fears, our apathy, and our acceptance of only the seen and provable were to open the door to the possibility of hope and a love that surpasses our understanding just moments before? YES to each question.

Is it time for a revival in the world? Can each of us do something to help begin that? Do you know what gifts you've been given in connecting with others? Are your prayers for Gods will or are they a request for Him to change so they align with yours? Do you see opportunities in both the good and bad moments in life? Does death scare you or will the death of a loved one "destroy" you? What does eternal life mean to you? If what you believed weren't true would you be trusting enough of God to reveal truth to you, and then let you decide? Are you too comfortable, while living in a life of continuous pain and chasing unattainable dreams, to surrender and repent of your old life to God, in order to be renewed.

Many will not. Talk with your families. They very likely may not understand or be fearful of change. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak for you. Let them see hope! Let them see the renewing of your mind! Let them see the victory of surrendering your will for Gods will that gives you peace, and joy, and love that was previously paddling along each day, simply trying to survive.

The revival starts in each of us. Its the opening up of heaven to the sovereignty, majesty, and grace of God for us to experience like rain pouring into our soul.

There will be those who like the Pharasee's and the Pharaohs of old feared surrendering to the truth. They will try to hide behind deception, and false prophecy, and lies that make them "feel" safe. The Lord will continue to pursue them, but there will come a time when it will end.

Talk with folks and family members about this. Post your testimonies on social media. Listen to others stories with a helping hand extended. Do NOT try to convince or argue with them but allow the Spirit in you to take the moment.

God is the author and holder of time. Do not wait for tomorrow, for the world and the evil within is your enemy and the deceiver of those who are yet to decide. It is time for mankind to accept the reality of truth and to trust God.

Finally, please realize that we are all sinners, whether saved by grace or not. God knows our character and He sees our behavior. Do not cast judgement on a person, but pray with them and for them. Let your prayers be the soul revealing sounds of Jesus.
Jesus came to save the world not to condemn it. When we accept His love, we are called into the same kingdom and given all power and authority to share His love for each person.

When life is busy, I focus. When life is slow, I look. When life is quiet , I listen. When life is too loud, I filter. When life is perfect, God is speaking and I know.

May I ask a favor? I very much appreciate your visit to my page. Might I ask that you also like it? If we've met in person please do so as well. I'd like to pray for you, so this gives me an opportunity to pray for you by name. I promise that I will not contact you unless you request that I do so.
Have a great day!

Listen to what you are saying. Do you say the you're afraid of hurting someone's feelings or how they will respond? Do you think that is being respectful by avoiding conflict or not hurting someone's feelings? Do you feel as though you walk on eggshells every day and your thoughts and words are not respected in your own home. Fear, enabling, co-dependency, and not being respected do not go away unless you learn how to confront those actions and emotions. It is not about confronting others but about learning why you're feeling and thinking that way. It is then learning techniques about how to master those feelings and feel confident and secure again in your own home, at work, and in your relationships. I can help you with that. Send me a message or give me a call at 864-304-4537. People don't make us do anything. We often just react to their agenda, instead of our own.

Well...it's finally about that time of life to begin slowing down and enjoying other parts of aging. I'm not totally retiring but will decrease my work hours. If you need help, call me and I'll let you know if I can help you or if I have someone else who can. I enjoy helping people and watching them become free of a burden or problem that may have bound them their entire life. I'm not the one with the answers, but the Lord has blessed me with an ability to teach you how to find the answers from within. My best friend told me I'd never be able to just stop doing this because he said it's just they way I am made...to help folks. I'm here if you need me.

Surrender to win....sounds counter intuitive doesn't it. But think about what happens when you have a problem where you don't see a solution, that you end up calling a specialist that knows exactly what needs to be done and you think back and say to yourself, I should have called them earlier given the time, expense, loss of sleep, and worry I've spent. The Lord does that for us when we surrender a problem to Him and we can rest, and let Him orchestrate our solution. It may be a friend or a counselor that knows exactly what you need to resolve the issue. Surrender to win those things that keep you up at night, that give you heartburn, that you carry with you day and night. I'd love to help you if that is you. Please give me a call. Life is short, live it to its fullest.

Pride/narcissism/know it all
Fear
Entitlement
Don't desire to change
Stupidity
Those are a few of the reasons most people never reach their full potential as a parent...in their job...in making or keeping friends...in life. It is sad. What they so desire in life is only kept from them because of their own self view. We all suffer from these at times...the wise ones realize it and desire change...the others become all of the above....which one are you?
