Last One

Today was the first DCAA football game of the season!  Hooray!

I’ve been looking forward to this season!  This will be my last season as a coach!  I’ve been looking forward to this for about eight years!!  I was never looking to be a coach.  My daughter just wanted to be a cheerleader and there was no one to coach.

This turned in to a LOT more than I ever planned.  I didn’t have a clue what I was doing.  I’m really not even good at cheerleading.

Today, sitting at the field, it hit me in a little bit of a sad way.  There is a part that I will miss next season.  I love the girls.  I love getting to know them!  And I love watching them get excited and proud of themselves!

Don’t get me wrong, I am still very happy that this is the last season of myself as a coach!  I have enjoyed these kids!  And I have made some great friendships with coaches!  I never would have dreamed of any of this eight years ago!

Tonight I am thankful, yes thankful, for that moment eight seasons ago when I agreed to “help out” for a year as a coach.  God sure grew something great out of that moment! ❤
