You never know where life will take you...

Yes, such a cliche title I know. But recently I can't help thinking that. Being the typical J person I am, I always plan ahead and strategize the steps I take towards fulfilling my goals. This is not to say that I calculate every single thing I do, because I can't predict every possible situation, but I try to foresee as much as I am able to. Of course this is where God comes in and throws the occasional wrench--the random x factor that I could not possibly have foreseen or predicted.

I've known since junior high that I wanted to go to law school and if I didn't become a lawyer, I'd at least be involved in the public sector. Right now, I'm not so sure if that's the path God is leading me towards anymore. Or at least, looking at the opportunities He has given me at this moment, I'm not sure if I will be going to law school immediately. It may be at least 5 years down the road before I do, if not more. I need to pray about this, and I hope God gives me an answer, SOON.

At the same time, I can't help appreciating the occasional wrench God throws at my plans. It does make life more exciting--and at least this particular one isn't unpleasant.
