Very suddenly this semester, God placed a desire in my heart to go to law school. Just as soon as I grasped that idea, he put a wonderful opportunity in my path- to work for my uncle Ray's law firm in Miami this summer! I will get to see what it's like to work in a firm and will live with my aunt and uncle's family. I am SO excited about the next 10+ weeks... what a fun learning experience this will be.
Well, I don't know exactly what I will post on this blog! Maybe I'll have some funny work stories or stories about living in Miami. Hopefully the Lord has a lot to teach me this summer, and I'll share some of that.
Collige virgo rosas- "Gather, girl, the roses."
Robert Herrick: 1591–1674
ReplyDeleteTo the Virgins, to make much of Time
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, 5
The higher he 's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.
I am not a worshipper of youth, but I like this poem. The first line of it (in Latin) is the title of my blog. I like the message of enjoying the time you are given.
