SEASON 3 EPISODE 10: THE END OF TERM

Today (finally) marks the end of term and the beginning of a 3-week break.

However, while there was a suggestion to go back home during that break, I have decided not to. Instead, there are 2 significant events that are taking place this week:

(1) I will be starting the work experience on Monday with a firm in Farringdon. It will be worthwhile to have a first-hand experience in a London law firm, which will definitely be different from Singapore.

(2) I will be submitting my application to the firm mentioned in Episode 9. Btw, the firm that was mentioned in Episode 8 ["the Episode 8 firm"] turned me down for a vacation scheme and a training contract. I was a little discouraged at first, but after attending Sanctuary at MCH, I felt better. I also believe this is the LORD's way of saying: "Nope, you are not supposed to be there and you don't have to wait till 2010 for a training contract."

Through this event, I am reminded of Proverbs 16:9, which reads: " In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." I might have wanted to become a finance-trained lawyer or a legally-trained accountant, hence the application to the Episode 8 firm. But, I am reminded of my first calling, which is to be a lawyer. Hence, I will need to be in a firm that will provide the necessary training for me to get there.

So, having said all that, I will be spending this weekend looking at my application and aim to submit this within the coming week. I have been (and still) praying for the LORD's inspiration and wisdom in tackling the questions. This is one moment where I will need the greatest amount of prayer. :)

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
