Today I learned a lot of wisdom from my counseling session:

strength to strength:
I learned that leaders must speak strength to strength. It is the way of showing love.

God will only go as far as one's will:
When it comes to healing and working in our lives God will never force or push further than we will.

an act of courage:
surpassing a weakness with a strength.

we must speak to people's weakness' through their strengths:
Change will only happen when we speak first to a strength in order to address a weakness.

speaking to someone's weakness' through our strength is prideful and hurtful:
It comes off as condescending and I'm not speaking that person's love language, rather I am speaking my own strengths and anger because they don't share the same strengths.

Life my way:
This is one of my biggest weaknesses. I want to be in control of all situations I am placed in. If I seems like something I'm not in power with I will get out. I need to let go. I need to die to myself.

Love the sinner hate the sin in me:
when confronting anyone in a cycle of sin or a habit of sin we must always love the sinner period. Hate the sin in me. We aren't called to judge. Who you choose to be doesn't affect who I am. Never let how someone else is affect who you are.

My biggest fear is failure:
I think when the skin is pulled back, when the blood is drained and the bones are splintered my biggest fear is failure. I don't know why. I pray that the Holy Spirit would dig into this a little deeper with me and reveal a wound or the root of this. I pray that all fear would be cast out.
