surprised by joy...

*Today it became official that I am going to be leigh's head cross-country coach for next year! It all happened so quickly, but so perfectly, my Dad said God must have been holding onto this for me. I am extremely excited, since coaching is one thing for sure I know I want to do with my kinesiology degree. Not much is known about the future, but this is one thing I know is happening.

1 more full day left at home, I am very much not looking forward to going back to school, which is a first for me since transferring to westmont. I don't want to deal with all the people, with the distance from home/family, it is going to be exhausting trying to run hard and be successful during my last season of running, it is going to be exhausting trying to do schoolwork. It is also going to be hard to motivate myself to do the normal things like school, practice, friends etc. when I know there is so much other more important things in life and when everyday is precious with my dad. There is that blunt enough? I don't mean to sound rude or judgemental, but little things I used to worry about or that I hear my friends complain about seem so utterly pointless and immature when in comparison to this stuff. So I am praying that my attitude is able to get better so I can again be a leader on the team, and a listening ear to my friends and teammates like I was this past semester; I still have an obligation to be a good friend to them even though I have a sucky situation in my life.

Ok I got the negativity out so now time to hop back on the happy train, cuz I get to be a coach!
