What Type of Movie Would Your Life Be? | |
 | You life would be a Drama. You're rich in feeling and emotion. You constantly play life out in your mind, imagining the "ifs, ands, or buts." You constantly feel like the world is your audience, which might inevitably affect your sanity! While your passion is endearing, the over-dramatics may grow a bit too intense after a while. |

If my life was a movie...

Above all, trust in the slow work of God
I have been home for over a month now and no job yet. I've had three interviews since then. Only one official "sorry we cannot offer you a position" from the preschool job that I was interested in. I have another interview Wednesday, but I'm really hoping and praying for the job I just interviewed for last Thursday. That one was for a position as a mental health counselor at the behavioral health department in the hospital, working with adolescents with mental illness, picking them up from school and running therapeutic groups (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy- which I will be trained in). It seems like a great place to start, with opportunities to be trained and advance in the field. I really liked the people that I interviewed with. I am qualified for the job. Most people who start this position only have an associates degree, but usually go for further education- I'm one step ahead of that.
It was funny with this job, one of those "in the right place at the right time". I ran into one of my former neighbors at church and he mentioned working at the hospital. I decided to check out the employment on their website, looking for the specific position he had mentioned. I didn't see that, but a couple days later I applied for another position that looked interesting- figuring I fit the description so I might as well apply for it. Well, about an hour later I received a phone call from the director of the adolescent partial hospital program. The next day I met with her and the clinical coordinator. After hearing about the position and training, I remembered how before college I had thought about becoming a counselor/psychologist, but after taking the intro to psych decided to major in social work instead. I'm really hoping for the Mental Health Counselor job- this position would be a good entry level position into the mental health field. I've also been thinking lately how that would be great background if I decide to get a masters in Pastoral Ministry and Social work/counseling. Doing something in that field would really allow me to combine my interests of teaching, counseling, spirituality and art. I'm praying hard for this one, figuring God knows what's best.The fact that I can make that connection helps me stay positive about it. Also 3 happens to be a good number for me in general, and this was 'interview 3'. Well I'm getting hungry,so i'm gonna grab a bite to eat. I'll try to update again soon.
