Well, I've really made it in this world. I've received my first subpoena. Yes, I have been summoned to the Willimantic Superior Court this Friday to testify in a case involving a woman I did supervised visits and parent aide with over a year ago. This is the first time I've seen the consequence of being arrested directed toward me, and let me say that it was a bit intimidating! Not to mention going to court for the first time and all that.
The thing that makes this really interesting is that I prayed for this client quite a bit during and right after our work together. Everything I witnessed and all our talks were positive, and she genuinely seemed like a good mother and a young girl who was getting her life together. The social worker seemed to be against her from the start- who can blame her with the state she found the kids in. This girl was getting her GED, applying for community colleges, had broken up with her boyfriend, and displayed excellent parenting in session. It sounds like I might be the the only one in her corner, so to speak. No pressure, right?? Please pray for me on Friday to say the right things, and for God's will to be done!
