Press on

It's been a crazy week of attending to cases again. Been emotionally and mentally exhausting, and the week is also flying by so quickly. I hardly have time and space to attend to myself. It's finally the end of the work week.

In the past, I used to think that having the best brain, the biggest faith and the most compassionate heart would be crucial in social service. While these are still important, I've been finding that my ability to regulate my emotions is one of the most crucial aspects of being in the social work field. There's just so much on-going crises, people and emotions to attend to and that impact me on a moment by moment, day by day basis.

An on-going process of making sense of these emotional experiences. All I can say now is to keep calm and carry on. There is power in human interaction, there's hope that God will still work all things for His good purpose, there is grace and mercy enough.
