Sheriff Update!

Bobby went to his 4 hour orientation last night for the Sheriff's Dept. We thought that this would basically be a time where they would give him and the other possible recruits information about the hiring process, to let them know kind of what they are getting themselves into...
So, upon arriving, Bobby found that the orientation was actually an interview, and a whole questionnaire about his past (you know, have you ever done drugs, stolen anything, whatever...) The orientation is basically the stop right before you really get into the hiring process; if you don't pass the orientation, the door is closed for quite awhile.
But, praise the Lord, he passed! So, now we're on to the next step in this journey: the background check. We now have to gather a million documents from near and far, like birth certificate, marriage certificate, insurance info, school transcripts...

I just keep thinking that the Lord is so CRAZY! I'm amazed at His hand that opens doors so wide, wider than we could ever open them ourselves.
Now we're just praying for wisdom and diligence, that the Lord would prepare Bobby (and the rest of us) for the stretching that we know is going to take place in all of this... And we're (in the words of my lovely mother-in-law) gonna walk by faith until God closes the door!

Congrats! I remember when Tommy had to do the background check. It was a long and intensive process.
