Speech Therapy and Music Threapy

So I've been interning at this place called Korean American Special Education Center. We've been having a seminar series for people interested in teaching children with disabilities, whether parents or teachers. Last week's seminar was on psychological therapy(?)/심리치료. Well, it was pretty much about how to understand/manage your emotions. It was very interesting because the speaker is a pastor but also has a Ph. D. in psychology. His conclusion was that the ultimate healing is done by God. Amen.

One thing he said stuck out to me...
"We all have ADHD when it comes to God and we all need speech therapy and music therapy. But you should already be getting those therapies. The Word gives you speech therapy and praising God in songs is music therapy."

Seriously, so true!

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." - 2 Timothy 3:16

Not only that but as I am studying for GRE, I've been having to memorize A LOT of words... and guess what? I see soooo many of these words in the BIBLE!! And Bible has all kinds of literature: narrative, poetry, letters, etc. So even for children (and adults), what better way is there to improve their reading skills, vocab, and everything else but reading the Word of God!

And of course, music is a mean that God moves me like no other. So my therapy music for this week has been an album called "Sing Over Me: Worship Songs and Lullabies." You should listen to it. So soothing, I fell asleep listening to them last night =P Oh, the music on right now is from that album, called You Are Good by Nichole Nordeman.

Okay, I should study since that's what I'm supposed to do. I wasn't even supposed to come to internship so that I can study (GRE tom eek!!), but since no one was going to be in the office, they just told me to come and study here and answer the calls....... and I'm doing this! heh... Oh well, I'll start studying.. NOw!
