It has been a few weeks since our last blog. During that time we have been to the American Association of Christian Counselors World conference in Nashville where we spoke on Tortured Men and Angry Women, a problem we see regularly. It was well received. We are now working on a book about this problem called The Run Away Wife Syndrome. It seems that wives are the main initiators of divorce in this country, an alarming trend that needs to be addressed. We then spoke at the Licensed Professional Counselors of North Carolina conference in Raleigh and taught a full day on the Soul Healing Love Model. While there were many professionals at both conferences, the comments we liked the most were those that tell how the material has helped people in their own lives and marriages. Hearing about the Tortured Man-Angry Woman dyad set off light bulbs for many people giving awareness to how they were responding in their marriages. We went from Raleigh to Huntersville, NC where we spoke at a Baptist church. After all our travels, we are tired but filled with the joy of seeing couples and counselors learn healthy tools for communication.
In addition to our busy schedule, we are also moving our office!! (Like we need more stress!) Rodgers Christian Counseling bought a beautiful building off of Hwy 51 in South Charlotte. The address is 6412 Bannington Rd. We will be blogging more about it in the future I’m sure. Our staff is growing and the number of people who need help is also growing. We feel stressed but blessed. Today’s reading in our devotional book Jesus Calling gave us some respite, “Some of your richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight, but nonetheless very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith not by sight.” This ministered to our busy souls and gave us peace to focus on each day, not fretting about the many things that need to get done in the future, so we can be Blessed not Stressed!
