Optimism!!

I'm quite optimistic. I said no to my addiction lastnite. 'm sure that the fight is not over but it felt quite empowering to say NO out loud. I figured that if I am a Social worker in training and I am not able to use effectively the techniques and theories I have learned over the four years, I will be just as ineffective in getting my clients to use them. I'm not going to write it off as my own doing, I knwo fro sure thta God had a hand in my resistance. I understnad what Paul means when he syas that we need to caputre all our thoughts and we need to ensure that we do not conform to the oractices of the world.
My optimism also centers around the fact that God has given me a mind that understands concepts easily. I realize more and more just how much of a "broad" knowledge base social workers really need to have and God has been helping me to remember and apply what I have learned. I confess that I am a long way off and there are certain bad habits that I still need to get rid of but I am determined to be the best person I can be so I can make my family, myself and GOD proud!!
