South Carolina Tax Attorney

Things have been a little stressful at work the last few weeks, and I know I’ve been complaining a little, maybe a lot!  I have been worried a lot about whether the firm will be able the next few months.  Whether we will be able to keep up with payroll or pay the bills.  Whether we will be able to take care of all of our clients.  What will my staff do if the firm has to close?  Anyway, I’ve been hearing a lot about God not putting you in a situation you can’t handle.  I’m not sure if I’m doing a good job or not, but I know I shouldn’t be worrying because the Bible says we should not worry about tomorrow because today has enough worries of its own. 

Well, I met with a potential client this afternoon who is going into surgery on Monday and was needing a will and possibly some more things prepared for her.  The thing about this client was that she was only 21 years old and had already undergone several surgeries.  She has been diagnosed with cervical cancer, lung cancer and a brain tumor.  She told me that the doctors had done all they could with regard to the cervical cancer, including a hysterectomy; there was nothing the doctors could do regarding her lung cancer and she was getting ready to have surgery to remove the brain tumor.  Her main concern was having a will and trust drawn up so that her three year old son would be taken care of because the boy’s father was very irresponsible and if the money wasn’t put into a trust the father would probably spend everything on himself – to be read: on drugs and alcohol.

I’m feeling really bad about this because I have been complaining about having a hard time dealing with issues about work and here is a young girl dealing with whether she is going to be alive after Monday to take care of her son.  I don’t know what to do in a situation like that, and I’m sure I would be worrying a lot.  But I know that God is taking care of his own and I’m glad to have a Savior who loved me so much that he gave his only son to die on the cross to save me from sin and death.  While I don’t know what the outcome of her surgery will be, and I don’t know if my firm will make it the entire nine months, I do know that God wouldn’t put me in a situation that I couldn’t handle.  I also know that God takes us through the trials so he can strengthen us and prepare us for the future.  I don’t know what is in store, but I am excited to follow God and see what he has in store for me.
