Many of you that know me know that I have been on an emotional rollercoaster for the last three weeks. Recently I was offered the Head Basketball job at Gaylesville High School. However, as of today I have still not started my duties there......Let me fill you in
1. June 5---I am offered the job and accept
2. June 7---I meet with the basketball team at Ashville and tell them that I plan on accepting the job
3. June 12---Board is supposed to meet and vote on my reccomendation.....small problem with the wording of the original job posting so they decide to repost it for a week.
4. June 13---I am told to attend to camp with the basketball team at Gaylesville
5. June 14-16----I attend basketball camp with the boys and have a really great time getting to know them
6. June 19---Board decides not to meet this week due to vacations....it will be June 26 until I am voted in.
WHEW!!!!
Needless to say I am in quite the quagmire. I have not been approved at Gaylesville yet and the people at Ashville are putting pressure on me to hurry things along. I pray that all of this works itself out and I am at Gaylesville next week.
I said all of that to say this. Last night I was sitting on the couch and Tyler, my oldest --bestest boy in the whole world, comes up to me and says "Thank you for being my daddy". Right then and there my heart warmed up and for just the briefest of moments all of my problems washed away. So often I allow my mind to become drowned in the fear and thoughts of the enemy. I thank the Lord for the pure and unconditional love of my son. He does not care if I coach or not. All he cares about is that I am his daddy. Thank you God for this brief moment of serenity. Bring more......
God with you

Remember that right now you are the hero in Tyler's life.
He doesn't understand the barbs and arrows that life throws at you. or the pressure of at least looking like you have all the answers.
I like the man you have become.
I wish that I had learned sooner than I did.
I love you.
