During my time in DTS God was really putting on my heart counseling, my whole life I have always wanted to help people in some way or in other. I have always had a great deal of respect for counselors but the thought of sitting in a four walled room sitting on a chair listing to people problems did not seem appealing to me. During my DTS I was in many situations and had many people come up to me to confirm that I needed to be in some sort of counseling training. During my DTS God really gave me ideas, dreams, and visions of what I would be able to do with training in counseling. I knew I had to go with it, so through research and help from my staff I found out about FCM, It stands for Foundations for Christian Counseling. It is a five month course with the first three months lecture and the last two months are outreach. Really cool story is that I actually applied to the FCM in two places Kona Hawaii and Colorado Springs, Now I really wanted to go to Kona because HELLO its Hawaii!! and because a few of my friends from my DTS were also going to be doing secondary schools in Kona. So I had my heart set on Kona but something inside me knew that it was not the right place and I was to be going to Colorado springs, well when God wants you to know something he will tell you and he will get through to you. I had so many people come up to me confirming that I was to go to Colorado, I never really listened but I finally put my pride aside and asked God why he wanted me to go to Colorado, His response "you will soon see" So I listened and decided to go to the FCM in CO. See, when we listen to God and go were he wants us to it is sooooo worth it and His ways are far better than our ways. So I had my bags packed and ready to go to CO, My mother, me and the open rode we started our drive to the beautiful state. Well even before I got there God had blessed me with being able to see two of my DTS friends, one of the states we drove through was Ohio and my really good friend Jessica lives there and another really good friend Becca lives not to far from Jess, So we all met up at Jessica's house and it was exactly what I needed! the whole visit was filled with laughter, memories, inside jokes and encouragement. It was such blessing and I was so sad the visit was so short. But we had to continue the journey. with some beautiful stops along the way we finally made it to Colorado. I am so excited to see all that God has for me during this school I know that there is going to be a lot of inner healing and a greater realization of who God is. Each week is a different topic and we are going to be learning different counseling skills based on a biblical standpoint, the outreach is still in the planning stages but I will keep you all updated, I still am in need for money for outreach, I know tat God wants me to be going overseas with this group of people to help the broken and hurting. If you feel on your heart to bless me or support me financially you can write a check out to Clinton Worship Center the memo Monica Villagomez missions you can send it to
