Well, as I sit here today writing you, I was offered the head boys basketball job at Gaylesville High School yesterday. I cannot tell you what a relief this is for me. I went into education so that I would have the opportunity to be a head coach at some point, and after five years of working as an assistant.....I finally get my shot. I am unable to express my excitement about this opportunity....so pray for me as I begin this new leg of my journey.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have never had things come easy for me. I was never the biggest, fastest, strongest, or most talented at anything I have ever done. However, that never stopped me from trying to achieve my goals. I have always believed that God had specific plans laid out for me, and all of those things mentioned above would never deter those plans. I have always had to work harder than some to reach my objectives, but I must tell you that when they are reached the feeling is quiet relieving. To know that, in spite of obstacles in front of me, God has equipped me to be successful in my attempts to climb any mountain before me. That is not to say that my journey has not been without falls and failures, but I have always hung on to His promise that He knows the plans He has for me.

So, as I begin my venture into being a head coach I say thank you Father for always reminding me of your promise.

God With You
