Q: During your first appointment, the therapist will probably ask you to explain why you are seeking therapy. This is your opportunity to provide an overview of how you have been feeling and what problems you have been encountering. You may want to think about how you will express these things before you go, since it might be a little overwhelming to describe it all on the spot. In your own words, just try to describe how you have been feeling and acting. How long has it lasted? Why does it bother you? What do you hope to accomplish through therapy? Your first appointment is a good time to ask questions that will help you decide if you want to continue with this therapist. Some questions you might want to ask include: How long have you been a practicing therapist? How much experience do you have working with people who share my issues? What are your specialties? What are your treatment methods? How effective are these methods? Being dishonest with your therapist can hinder your progress or prevent it entirely. Therefore, it is essential to tell your therapist the truth about your feelings and experiences. Keep in mind that your therapist is not going to judge you or share what you have shared with her. If you don't feel comfortable being honest with a therapist, then it might be a sign that you need to try someone else. Talk therapy is an effective treatment for many different types of mental health issues, but it takes time and persistence. You and your therapist can set goals and develop a plan for achieving those goals. For example, your goal might be to feel less anxious when you go out in public or to stop making major purchases without thinking about them first. Tell your therapist what your goals are and follow through with her recommendations for achieving them. Keep in mind that it can take a while to see results, but the results from talk therapy are often more long-term than the results you might achieve by only taking medication. You need to be comfortable with your therapist in order to address your mental health problems. Be aware of your comfort level with the therapist. If you feel comfortable and safe, that's the best environment for effective counseling. Consider if race or gender is an issue in your counseling. Don't limit yourself to the age, gender, or race of the therapist, since you may skip over a very qualified therapist. If your specific mental health problem addresses a unique gender or racial experience, you may want to choose a therapist that may understand your experience first-hand. Pay attention to the communication style of your therapist. Make sure the way they talk and listen to you feels like you are heard and listened to. Keep in mind that therapists are human beings too. Some meetings may not go well. Mental health professionals are not perfect, so try to give them the benefit of the doubt. If you don't feel comfortable with a therapist, that's ok. It's important to feel comfortable to address your mental health concerns. Realize that your first meeting is just an interview. It's not the end of the world if the first therapist does not work out. Ask for a referral if your initial meeting doesn't work out. Even if your first meeting did not go well, your therapist may be able to suggest someone that's a better fit. Thank the therapist for their time. They took time out to meet you as a new patient. Be grateful for their time and willingness to help.
A: Describe the feelings and issues that you want to work on. Ask questions. Provide honest answers. Set goals with your therapist. Pay attention to your therapist's personal qualities. Know that not every therapist will work out.

Q: . According to the Bible, you must confess your sins before you can be officially baptized. Speak to a priest or another Christian minister. The Bible describes John the Baptist baptizing people as such: "Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins." (Matthew 3:5, 6, NKJV) . Many believe that it is not enough to merely confess your sins you must truly repent for what you have done. Think about what it means to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Ask your priest for help. If you aren't sure how to make the step from confession to repentance, ask your pastor/priest or a knowledgeable member of your church for advice. On Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus, many people were amazed by the Holy Spirit. When they asked Peter what to do, he replied, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." (Acts 2:38, NKJV). The final prerequisite for baptism is that you really, truly believe. Search deep within yourself to make sure that you are ready for this decision. If you believe that you are ready, then you are ready. Express your intention to become a fully-baptized Christian. There are no age restrictions for baptism. In Christianity, any human being who has not yet been baptized can receive the sacrament of baptism. It is said that baptism leaves a permanent mark on your soul, such that you never need to be "re-baptized."
A: Confess your sins Repent of your sins Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin.

Q: Take a head of red cabbage and slice it into thin strips. Let it simmer for 30 minutes in enough water to cover the strips. Strain the juice through a colander and store it in another pot. Let it cool. Explain that the red cabbage juice is called an "indicator." This means that it will help you figure out if a substance is an acid or a base. Take some of the juice and pour it into several clear cups. Put the rest to the side for now. It doesn't matter how much you pour in each cup. A few ounces will be fine, and should leave you enough experiment with several substances. Use as many cups as you have substances to test. For instance, if you want to test milk, tomato juice, and soy sauce, use three cups. Take a spoonful of baking soda and pour it into one of the glasses. Have a kid stir until the soda begins to dissolve. The solution will turn from red to blue or purplish. Explain the indicator solution changes this color because baking soda is a base. Take some ordinary white vinegar and pour it into the same glass as the baking soda. Ask a kid to stir the solution. It will turn red again before your eyes! Explain this is because the acidic vinegar changes the pH of the solution by neutralizing the base (baking soda). Practice stirring different substances into cups of the solution. Drinks like cola, lemon juice, or milk work well. Before you try each substance, ask the kids if they think the solution will turn bluish (meaning it's a base) or a deeper red (meaning it's an acid). To help the kids decide, ask them to think about whether or not the substance tastes sour (acid) or bitter (base).
A:
Make some red cabbage juice. Pour some of the juice into clear cups. Add baking soda to the solution. Pour vinegar into the solution. Try adding different substances to the indicator solution.
