Five years

Five years ago I was corresponding with a friend named Krista. We met online and became friends even though we live in different states. We have not had consistent contact over the years but we keep in touch.

At the time I had dropped out Denver Seminary's Master's in counseling program. Krista was interested in counseling and thinking about pursuing counseling. I was thinking about getting a degree in counseling and then get a job doing anything else. I was not very serious about working in the counseling field.

The other day I logged into Facebook and saw a notification that Krista has a job working for a license counselor and has completed enough training that she is becoming a counselor or finishing up her certification as a counselor (Forgive me I am not good with details).

Five years ago I would not have imagined how life would have turned out. Krista would become a counselor and I am still working in the same field, same type of work and figuring out what to do with my urge to help people.
