Counselors’ Corner

September is here, and with it the next school year in full force. I’m trying to get back into my homeschooling routine with Selah and Joey, and we go to the Boys and Girls Club every afternoon. I’m in the Arts and Crafts room, and now have mostly manageable sized groups, as they divided the large group in half. I’m a little out of that Arts and Crafts mode, as I haven’t done that sort of stuff since my Girl Scout days. I find myself doing more discipline and classroom management than Art, and have just been working on a No Bully theme this week. We did color sheets of David and Goliath, the greatest bully story ever. I’m also trying to implement a little creative writing in my plans on Wednesdays, which is probably my stronger point. I think I’ve finally gotten an understanding with my young charges, and they know I mean business. I’m tough, but I try to be fair and understanding as well. Some of them probably think I’m the devil, because I frequently tell them to sit down and be quiet, and won’t let them have any fun. But I’ve learned the hard way, kid’s out of seats cause fights and disruptions. I would like to be more lenient here, but with a group this large, I guess I can’t. I’m learning what works and what doesn’t, and overall, I think I’ve got a plan that will work. They get community cash for rewards and discipline forms for punishment for the most part.

I like what I am doing, and love the kids, but I need more pay before all of my student loans come due. I’m just not sure how it’s all going to work out right now. I’ve prayed for an open door, and I thought maybe the director’s position at the BGC was it, but unfortunately I was not hired for that position. I was also looking in to the Teach and Inspire program, but after my interview, I found out there was a $200 fee that I can’t afford to pay, so that door promptly closed as well. God apparently wants me in the position I’m in now, but how I’ll pay the bills on what I’m being paid, I’m not quite sure.

With my Master’s degree, I could counsel now as long as I had a supporting organization like a church, or ministry. It would be nice if I could actually do what I’m trained to do and counsel at the Boys and Girls Club, and get paid for it. If any one out there knows of a church or ministry that would like an on staff counselor, please let me know. My degree is a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Christian counseling. All I would need would be an office to work out of and the clients would pay my “salary” through fees. I would be willing to work on a sliding scale fee, to make counseling affordable to the congregants. I really want to do what I’ve been training for all these years, which is counseling. I especially would like to work with groups of victims of sexual and/or domestic violence, and wouldn’t mind speaking on those topics, as well, in a small group setting. I can also do Adventure Based Counseling with youth or children’s groups, which are non-competitive games and activities with a counseling twist. If your church or ministry needs either of these kinds of services, please let me know. I’m available. Love offerings are fine, as I have no set fee for this work, and it is my passion.

Well, as it is, I’m not sure what the next step is. I’ve followed my God down a long road of hope, which has come to an intersection. I’m waiting at the stop sign, and don’t know which way to turn. I know I have to take the next step, but for now, I’m not sure where that leads exactly. This is one of those life moments where you just have to hang on and wait on God and pray for direction. I just pray that I find something that pays more than what I’m making now, which is just above minimum wage, when my loans come due in the next three months. Pray that God helps me find my way. In the mean time, I’m enjoying my time at the BGC, and pray that God will use me there.

I’ve finished up my working draft of my paraphrase of the New Testament and the Psalms and Proverbs and have it all published now. I have also designed a daily reading plan that may be useful to some of you who are reading it. I do ask for input and editing advice if you catch grammar mistakes, etc. My next step is to put it all together and work on it as a whole document, and include some explanatory footnotes for study helps. But that may take another few years. We’ll see. I’ve also started paraphrasing some Old Testament Bible stories, such as David and Goliath, which I hope to some day put together in a bible story book for children. Pray that God leads me in my future endeavors and that my work is blessed. I may die a pauper, and in debt to the federal government, but maybe I will at least have been of use to the Kingdom of God in a small way. I say with Job, though God slays me, I will trust Him.

Notes and Prayer Requests

• There are people everywhere facing medical issues that need prayer. One of my AWANA boys from last year, Zack Little, has had a tumor removed recently, so pray for his complete healing. Mrs. Bobbie Miley, My old pastor’s wife, has had several medical issues lately. Please pray for her as well. One of my Girl Scouts from years ago, has had her father in the hospital recently. Please pray for him as well. I try to keep up with every one on Facebook, but I’m sure there are many others I have not mentioned.

• Tommy has a new girl friend, Amanda, who is leaving for basic training in October, so please pray for her.

• Rock’s job has been extended and he is trying to get in a nursing school in North Carolina. Pray that God will direct him, as well.

• My daughter Sunny has experienced some personal setbacks, but is trying to finish up her education as well. Pray for strength of mind, body, and spirit!

• Rose is back from bashing around in Oxford, England on the student exchange program with Duke University, where she is in grad school. Thank you fro pray for her safe passage home.

• I have published all of my paraphrases on the Triond website. The links are listed below in several Daily Bible Reading Plans, if anyone wants to check them out. I have now published all of the New Testament, the Proverbs, and the Psalms online. You can see all of my writings by going to my main Triond link at https://www.triond.com/users/Mama+Heartfilled

• I would appreciate if you’d let me know of grammar, punctuation, and other mistakes I may have made. My goal is to make the paraphrase as simple and clear as possible. I know they still need much work, as they are drafts of a work in progress. I don’t know of any other Bible that uses the Name of Yahweh (I am in Hebrew), so I have worked hard to get it right. Please pray that God helps me in this work, and let me know of any mistakes you find. Thank all of you who are praying for me on this.

• I will have some full-blood black and tan short-haired dachshund puppies for sale soon and am taking deposits on them now. They’re five weeks old now. $50 down and one other installment of $50 will get them. If this is a problem though, I’ll work with you. I need homes for at least 4 of them.







Daily Bible Reading Plans for the New Word, The Old Sayings, and The Old Hymns



The New Word, The Old Sayings and The Old Hymns is a unique feminist approach to a gender-neutral paraphrase of the Holy Bible, which uses the true name of Yahweh God and of Yeshua, the Christ, rather than the traditional man made form of Jehovah. I attempted this several year project out of a strong desire to make known the true name of Yahweh God and to help complete the great commission of Jesus Christ. It is the first Bible to my knowledge that uses the Name of God in its proper form, which had fallen out of use because of the Hebraic tradition to not say it at all by replacing it with Lord (Adoni) or God (Elohim), for fear of using it in vain. Yahweh, in the Hebrew, simply means I AM. Yahweh God is the great I AM!

This paraphrase is a working draft, and these are the published excerpts in the completed series. This version is particularly intended to reach an audience on the internet, that may not just go pick up a Bible and read it. I would like to encourage Christians and non-Christians alike to read through them using one of the suggested reading plans below and comment on them, whether you have a critique, editing correction, or praise. I am particularly looking for clarity of ideas, and simplicity for a younger or less educated audiences, which may have trouble reading and understanding some of the other more traditional versions. Archaic language, has been replaced by more modern readings of the ideas presented in the KJV. If you find a section that is still somewhat difficult to read, or understand, please let me know your thoughts on it. I would like to make all the corrections necessary before attempting further publication and dissemination. I am asking for the Triond community and other readers to help me find any significant errors, and check for readability.



Sincerely Yours,
