Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Before you think I’ve lost it let me explain. I often think of this Nursery rhyme in desperate situations.

All the Kings horses and all the Kings men couldn’t put Humpty together again BUT the King Himself could put Humpty together again. He knows us body, mind, and Sprit. His medicine is His Word. My advice is always “put a Word on it”. Understand that I am not saying we should not take medicine. God has given the doctors the call to help to heal His people in combination with the Word, prayer and medicine.

As a counselor I cannot heal people’s emotions or wounds. God has called me to help Him to bring people to His Word and use this vessel with a heart of compassion and His wisdom to bring others to a new place in their life. It is the Holy Spirit working through me and working in the hearts of the counselees that changes the situation. It is His Word that is the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path. So I leave you with this, stay close to God, put a Word on it and know that He knows the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning. He knows the plans He has for our lives. Have a great summer! See you at church.
