look around, we're living with the lost and found.

So I have my internship site. I will be interning at the psychiatric treatment center. They have sexually reactive kids, violent kids, kids with attachment disorders and more. I'm frightened, but I know its what I need to do. Its exposure I may not get anywhere else and represents some of the most extreme kids I could get on my future caseload. It's also a great way to find out if I have it in me to be a treatment foster parent in a few years. ;) So few people are educated and/or willing to take these kids and they need homes. Even some of the attachment disordered kids can bond (in some cases), but it can be a long undertaking. I hope I have it in me or will.

I survived the mental health crisis. My teachers have been gracious and are working with me if my grades seem in jeopardy, but I think I can pull it back up. I'm still slacking a little on studying, but tests and papers are going well. I'll kick school's ass yet.

I'm finding the more of God I take in, the more peace I have. I'm slowly absorbing the idea that I'm really am forgiven and that it will be okay: He's with me and that's all I need. I can't claim the other things I was doing filled up the holes in me or made my life better. If He can do this with my life and soothe my wounded heart so easily, that's all the proof I need. I'm exactly where I need to be.
