If Only...

Chapter 9 part 1

Taylor's POV

Time flys when you're having fun, or when you're working! But I can't complain, I have a thriving "business" if you can call it that. I called Cathy to apologize for falling asleep during her session and she was very nice about it. I offered to have her come in the next day, but she nicely declined, which didn't surprise me. It's been three weeks since then and she continues to improve. I can see growth in he feeling of self worth and she is feeling more and more comfortable with me in each session.

I have come to the conclusion that I do not actually like her like I previously thought. I wanted to help her wounded heart and the scares that are there, and as I am doing this I find contentment. I do not yearn for a relationship as I once thought I did. I'm glad I have come to this conclusion, otherwise I would have had issues trying to keep my job and my love life separate.

In other news, serval of my long term patients have decided that they no longer require my services. This is my hope for all my current patients, that they grow to the point where therapy is not needed anymore. In several of my patients I know this will never be the case, but one can never give up hope and who knows what the power of God can do.

One such patient is a young lady named Cailey. Cailey first started coming to me about four years ago when her parent's divorce split her life in two. It's been a long coping process for her but she has finally learned how to live her life. I learned in our last session together that she is engaged to be married to a man that is three years older than her twenty years and that she is very happy. I wish her the best in life and know that if anyone can succeed, it would be her.

These are the things that come to mind as I prepare myself for another full day at the office. The light streams through my window and I can't help but hum 'How Great Thou Art' as I finish getting ready and drive to work.

When I arrive there I ready myself for a day full of sessions. God could not have given me a greater job than this one. I get to spread His word while helping those in need. I can't think of a better way to spend my time.
