TERRINI WOODS COUNSELING, INC.
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

I began my career in counseling over 15 years ago as a lay counselor, along with my husband, as a co-leader for couples ministry, which we continue to serve today. In 2011, I pursued my Master’s degree. During my studies I worked as a group leader and provided individual therapy for individuals with chronic mental health issues, provided services for a local group home for teen mothers and facilitated the practical application for the group therapy class at my graduate almam ater. As a native Palm Beach County, Floridian it is my privilege and pleasure to support, work with and for individuals, families, community groups and business in this location I call home. So let’s consider what the word of our Heavenly Father offers. In Matthew 25:14-30; there is a parable (short story that teaches a lesson) about opportunities. A business owner was going on an extended trip and called three staff members to delegate specific responsibilities during his absence. One he gave $5K, another $2K and the last member he gave $1K to invest at their ability. The first staff member doubled the money and so did the second, but the last staffer dug a hole and buried the money. When the business owner returned, he called for a report from the staffers. The staffers with $5k and $2K doubled their investments and the owner commended them saying “…. GOOD work, job well done…” and He promoted them both. The last staffer said, “Sir, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the BEST and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I might disappoint you so I found a GOOD hiding place (in the ground) and secured your money. (I.e. no growth…) The owner was furious. If you knew I was this way, why did you do less than least?!? The least you could have done was put the money in the bank and collect the minimum interest. The owner took the $1K and give it to the staffer who took the largest leap of faith. In anger the owner said, “take this play-it-safe staffer and throw him into utter darkness”. (Message Bible) So let’s consider what the word of our Heavenly Father offers. In Matthew 25:14-30; there is a parable (short story that teaches a lesson) about opportunities.
