A grateful heart

I know this is so silly, but I've been holding back my excitement for this coming year, for fear I may jinx a good year and have everything come to ruin.  But I can't contain it any longer.  This coming year is going to be awesome! I am doing the very thing I have worked so hard to get to do and I cannot say how honored I am and how blessed I feel.  Not only am I teaching but I am also coaching, something I thought would take years of teaching to be able to do.  When I think about it, I get all teary eyed like a school child who just won 1st place in a coloring contest.  I mean this is why I have worked so hard to get through my degree, but for some reason I didn't realize how great it really would be.  It's all so surreal, I mean is this really happening?

I have a very grateful heart right now.  The Lord always knows what is best.  Earlier this summer I told God how I thought this coming year should go.  I am so glad He didn't listen to me, this is WAY better than what I could have ever planned!
