I'm double majoring in psychology and religion. Religion, of course, is known to be one of the hardest majors at this school and I have no idea why I'm putting myself through this torture when I'm not actually doing anything with it.

Any idea what contribution you want to make with your life or how you want to support yourself? Sometimes they aren't the same thing. One becomes a passion/hobby, and the other the bread and butter.

Oh, but you will. You may not know why you are taking those courses, but God does. You cannot imagine what He has in store for you sweetie. My B.A. was in Sociology/Religion with a minor in Communications. All that has been invaluable.

I think it's wonderful that you are studying religion as well as philosophy! So many counselors have a "world view" and that affects their counseling ability. We need Christian counselors!

When my husb. and I were going thru a really bad time a few years ago we went to a Christian counselor. He told us at our first session that a "regular" counselor would probably recommend divorce, but that he believed in trying to SAVE marriages. In our case, he did! But it's very scary to think of what might have happened had we picked someone different! It was work, hard work, to repair our marriage, but certainly worth it.

There are so many counselors out there just to make their bucks and that just makes me sick. With your religion background, also, you will have a lot to offer your future patients!
