Doing what I love

Once more my life has been overwhelmed with a big decision.  Well, I take that back.  As a very wise person told me, it's not a decision until you're being offered the job.

I have officially thrown my name into the hat for the head coaching job.  I've spoken to many dear friends and family and have come to the conclusion that, if nothing else, I would be silly to not take the chance.  Part of me knows I'll be taking something on that will drive me absolutely nuts.  Sure there will be days I will come home crying and wondering why in the world I am putting myself through it all.  However, there will be other days that I will be elated with a performance or seeing a young woman succeed in something she previously wouldn't have.
I love teaching.  I truly do.  I love the feeling of sharing knowledge and skills with others.  I love instilling hope and courage in young women.
I only hope that through coaching I can do what I love.  If there is ever a time I don't believe in what I am saying or doing, I hope that I will recognize that and stop.  Until then, though, I want to give what I can to these girls.  I want to be an example of strength, courage, and love to these young and impressionable women, and I want to encourage them to recognize the same traits in themselves.

I'll need many prayers!
