There are a lot of things I have planned for myself. I am a dreamer, like most people. I love imagining what I will be doing in a few days, months, and years. My hands sweat when I dream of the endless adventures I will be doing and the many places I will be going to. I have different scenarios of my future and the work that I will be doing. I want to do corporate work, and at the same time I dream of being a judge. I dream of learning a martial arts, doing a triathlon, biking from Baguio to Sagada (thanks to Maria for this awesome idea) and going to London for 2012.

But that’s me in the dream world. Right now, some of those dreams might not become true. But am not sad at all. There was a blog entry of Mark Batterson where he said that we should follow God’s dreams for us, and not Him following our dreams. I am at a place where I may end up doing what I didn’t plan to do but didn’t admit to myself that I love doing. And this is possibly what God want me to do. Litigation.

So far, it is the only option I have. I have to admit I am excited because it might and could possibly be what God has planned for me. After all the interviews trying to convince law firms that I want to be a corporate lawyer, I get an offer from the firm that I said I would like to do litigation work. I realized that as I said that, despite some hesitation in the beginning, I was saying something true. I did want to do Litigation. I did enjoy doing it in OLA. Or it could be that I am so good at convincing people that I ended up convincing even myself.

I might be over-thinking this as well. I may be rushing into this too.  I may be not. This is the reason I have until friday to decide. This a change of career goals, and a nice distraction from thinking of the bar exams.
