Planted in a new path
It was daunting to think of restarting my career, since I saw myself as an already mature attorney with expertise in only one legal area. I knew that the kind of work I did, and that I genuinely enjoyed doing, was research and writing—not the general practice of law or legal work in a particular subject, such as personal injury, business, or insurance. It seemed unlikely that I could find a suitable position with a salary close to what I was making. And as I undertook the process of preparing a résumé and searching the Web for possible positions in my area, I knew that the other attorneys on the staff were doing the same thing.
I prayed continuously about this situation and called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful support. I will always be grateful that when I voiced my doubts to her, she replied, “If you argue against your own value, that’s what you get.” She helped me see that since I am known of the Father, He must provide everything needed for me to prosper and excel. She told me that since my hand was in God’s, I didn’t need to believe that I could be anything less than an idea of God—whole, complete, and unlimited.
