Well that was painless.

A few weeks ago I got the call from the library saying that my items had come in. Swheeet! I love when goodies come in! So I got my bag and headed to pick ‘em up. On my way out after check out I had the feeling to look at the information table that has all the fliers on it with what’s happening around town. I saw a flier and was super excited!

What was it you may ask? Go ahead, ask…

It was a flier that had information about a volunteer opportunity within Foster Care. The flier gave basic information, but it was mainly saying that they are looking for volunteers to be on one of the Review Boards here in town. It totally jumped out and screamed at me that it is something that I want to do!

So, I called the number and requested more info. Cool thing was that I called at 5:30pm, and someone actually picked up the phone. She said she had stayed late, she normally was gone at 5 and felt she should pick up my call. She was really nice and was able to answer all of my questions. She got my info to send me more details about what it all entails along with the application.

I got the application two weeks ago, filled it out and today went and got my fingerprints taken. Side note: It is totally weird to give someone else control of your hand. Try and relax and let them roll your fingers around in ink and press them down on some paper. Just weird. Anywho, it took all of about 10 minutes and was completely painless.

I also turned in my application and was told that it will take awhile for the fingerprinting to go through, but as soon as it did, I would be asked to observe a real meeting, and if I was still interested, I would then meet with a Judge who would either approve me for the board or deny me. Here is hoping for the two thumbs up!

I know, I know. What am I thinking? This is going to be HARD! Yes, I capitalized it for a reason. Even though it will be hard, I know that it will be worth it to be able to help God’s children in need. I can at least try it. Faith is an action word, remember? (I was saying that for me, not for you ;) I know Heavenly Father will help me and that I will learn things from this that I wouldn’t be able to learn in any other situation. It will also be an opener to foster care in the future.

I’ll let ya know what happens.
