My Calender Just Exploded!

The next step in the CASA process for me was to make a lot of telephone calls to the different people involved with my case. I purchased a calender and marked it all up with my scheduled visits with people connected with the case. It exploded! After I stopped to think about my schedule I realized that a CASA volunteer could get burned out very quickly if they try too schedule too many tasks, visits, and telephone calls in one week. An effective CASA volunteer takes the time to savor the facts of the case and really observe what is happening with the case. I wasn't really put here by my own accord. I truly believe that God brought me to this case and He will guide me through the process.

If we set aside our own ego and

focus on what God wants us to do

He will move mountains for us.

CASA Training

I finally completed my training program to become a CASA volunteer. I was quickly assigned to a case because there is such a great need for volunteers. An order was signed by a judge officially connecting me with the case and now I'm on my way to meeting all of the various parties involved. What I didn't realize is that there are a lot of people involved in the different aspects of a child's case.

The unconditional sweetness of little children is defenseless against the dangers of our world.
