Resolution

A few tidbits from this very long day. The following things got resolved:

1. Went to the office early for a hearing. And we hooked up with old contacts in the process.

2. The firm (particularly our main partner) finally closed a very big deal. But it also entails very big responsibility and a ton of work in a span of a month.

3. Breathed a sigh of relief for Nico's 5th birthday on Monday.

4. The lawyer's meeting pushed through despite the workload for all of us. Food courtesy of our associate for her birthday last Wednesday.

5. We are hiring at least two more lawyers for us to cope with the firm's mounting workload.

6. The view offered by our new office just takes my breath away.

7. Almost bought a new camera lens. Good this I held out. Maybe in a month or so I could buy it.

8. We discovered a new qualification for acceptance in our office as partner... the power of the "M."

That's basically it. I have to rest as I have to prepare for Nico's birthday over the weekend and I'm so tired. As I have said, this was a very long day and I'm eager to end it as soon as I can.

Enjoy your weekend.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
