A coincidence is simply God’s way of remaining anonymous. This has happened to
me both personally and professionally many times lately. A simple call a few
months ago to a psychologist I have known for over five years started the many
coincidences I have witnessed lately. Both Roma Palcan, Ph.D (Licensed
Psychologist) and her colleague, Russ Porter M.A., LMHC, are ending their lease
July 1st at an office close by and are looking for a place to
relocate. Both of them have many years of experience with Christian Counseling
and are wonderful, caring, and qualified counselors. Through several phone
conversations and interviews, CTK is blessed to have them come on board at the
end of June. Part of hearing God’s call, then, is being willing to act
faithfully in everyday situations. For all we know, our everyday actions (like
a phone call) may play a role in a “Divine Coincidence.”
Prayer
Mysterious God,
Your ways are higher than our ways,
and deeper than our deepest imaginings.
We cannot understand how you guide us,
but we are so very thankful that you do.
Help us to trust you with the future
so that we may be free to serve you and others
with energy, intelligence, imagination, and love.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen
May God Richly Bless You,
Shari A. Lindquist, M.A., LMFT
My new office address, starting in August will
be:
Shari A. Lindquist, M.A., LMFT
916 North Gadsden Street
Tallahassee, FL 32303
I will miss you all and I look forward to
keeping in touch!
I
give my heartfelt thanks for the privilege of serving you as your counselor.
Shari Lindquist responded to God’s call to start a counseling ministry here
several years ago and it is very sad to say good bye to her. Now God is calling
me and my colleague, Russell Porter to move this ministry forward and build it
up. We are called to “heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives” (Luke 5:18). God longs for His church and the people of this community
to be whole, healed, and free. This is my mission. By God’s grace and through
His strength He will carry it out in me. In the coming months we will become
better acquainted. I have been a Christian psychologist in Seminole for over 10
years and have developed counseling ministries in several Tampa bay area
churches. You will observe a new family participating in your service that
includes a single mother (myself) and four children. Some of you will
participate in the counseling ministry by joining me as we take the kingdom of
God to others and God through us brings about emotional, spiritual, and physical
healing. Others will personally seek the counsel of this ministry. Still others
will join groups that will provide knowledge and support in areas in which we
need to grow. Christ the King will become a brighter beacon of light to our
city. God has plans for us and I am so excited to be part of it. Thank you again
for this opportunity to serve God together.
Yours in Christ,
Roma Palcan
