Prayer Request
As many of you probably know, I've always had a huge heart for kids! Especially crisis kids. I can't explain the tug these kids have on my heart. I used to work at a crisis pregnancy center and would pray all the time that none of the Moms would ever ask me to adopt their babies because I knew I'd be bringing it home if they did.
Four years ago I heard about CASA. A program through the legal system that appoints guardian ad litems to kids in foster care. I wanted so badly to start then, but the Lord had other plans. Now that I'm almost done with paralegal school I want even more to work with these kids and walk them through the foster system. I'm hoping to someday be a foster parent, but since I'm obviously missing a second half for that equation, CASA seems to be the best way for the time being.
This week I should be having a review with the Partners of my firm. This type of work could be considered Pro Bono for us and as it would take me away from my desk job about 10 hrs a month, I'm praying for favor and would greatly appreciate your prayers too!
If any of you have an interst in the program or just want to see more what it's about here's the link. http://www.nationalcasa.org/
