week 6 of 8

So I'm little bit over half way on my two courses for this 8 week session. I am not one to complain, but I've had a terrible time keeping up with everything. I think the biggest factor is that my course COUN 646 Psychopathology is tapping into an area where I have not studied much in the past. We are talking about disorders and the DSM-IV-TR. It is very complicated stuff, but I am learning a ton...

I also mentioned earlier on facebook that I had a very challenging situation with time management and how to balance everything in my life. I was trying to study to help people while my own life was unbalanced... not a good thing. However with the help of some friends advice and my wife helping me develop a new system I think I finally have something that is working for me.

I know that in addition to doing everything I can with school I am a guy who likes relationships. I have several guys with whom I like to meet with on a regular basis for encouragement and prayer. I know that if this doesn't happen then I am in trouble.

In addition, I have been trying to learn how to best relate and develop my marriage as well. Alongside COUN 646 I am taking COUN 603 which is called Marital/Premarital counseling. I am learning a lot of different strategies to help develop intimacy in my relationship with Cindy.

Overwhelmed

Ok, so I haven't posted in forever, but I want to post a short update.

Basically in one work I'm overwhelmed. Too much reading to do an not even a remote chance of it all getting done. I'm already three chapters behind on one of my books... The unfortunate reality is that it will only get worse as these next few weeks go by because then I'll have papers as well........ so yeah... I'm starting to freak out, but I'm also trying to trust God for His strength.

thanks for reading!
