The last couple of months at work have been extremely hectic. My boss, the only other lawyer in the firm, has taken a leave of absence for about nine months, so that leaves me as the sole lawyer of the firm. Now, I don’t mind having a lot of responsibility, but it is very intimidating having to make sure the firm is bringing in enough new clients to pay the monthly bills and payroll. For a few weeks, I really felt like things were not going to go well, however we have made it two months. God has given me a peace so I don’t worry about the bills. I have given those burdens over to God and let His will take over. If this is the situation He has placed me in, and it is His will that I continue on in this position then I know He will take care of me (and the rest of the office and clients). The good thing about the business I’m in (practicing law) is that one fee can sometimes take care of a month’s worth of bills. The problem I run into, and one that I will write about in a future post is how to get clients when you are just starting out as a young attorney. I working hard a projecting confidence and increasing my knowledge (which helps me build confidence) and we are getting several new clients each week that allow us to continue to serve our entire client base. While things are daunting now, I have never been let down by God in the past, so I don’t worry about the future. More on that testimony in the future as well. The moral of this post is: when things seem so big and they just get built up higher and higher around you – God is bigger and God is in control. Amen!
