I Love My Job and a Prayer Request

So I love my job. I don't think that everyone can say that, but I really do. Sure I have days where I come in and all I want to do is be at home or at the cottage, but ultimately, I really like this office.

The work that I get to participate in is fascinating. I am asked to do research for Crown counsel on appeals and then they argue the research that I have done before a panel of judges who may even RELY on the cases that I have found. This is pretty intense and awesome. I think that one of the reasons I love my job is because I know that what I do here matters. It not only affects the lawyers in this office; it may also affect the entire justice system and Canadian society. I feel useful, I have a purpose and meaning and I feel appreciated and affirmed. It is a great environment to work in and I'm so thankful for it.

Which is why I have a BIG prayer request to all of those prayer warriors out there. Last Friday I had to apply for articling positions. Obviously, with such a great summer experience, I want to come back to this Crown's Office. We receive phone calls on July 28 about which firms we will have interviews with and then we interview August 14-16. On the 16th, we sit by the phone and wait and wait and wait. And pray that the phone rings with a job offer that we actually want.

If I haven't been entirely clear, let me say this one more time. I love my job here at Crown Law Office - Criminal. I want to work here for my articling year. I would greatly appreciate receiving tons of prayer that I will in fact get a call from this office for articling. Pray for the interview, which is unlike most interviews. Instead, it is more like an oral exam on substantive criminal law issues - they are exhausting! Pray that if I don't get an offer from this office, that I am accepting of that, and understanding that it was not the Lord's will. Pray that I continue to make a difference here for the rest of the summer. Thanks!
