In the last couple of weeks, the Director of Student Life approached me again to check in with me about coaching basketball this winter. I'd barely gotten words out of my mouth when he said that they had more than enough people to coach, so that they didn't need me to coach.
I'd been wondering how I'd have enough energy to coach. I'd attended some of the kids' late season fall soccer games, and, as a result, felt not prepared enough to teach on the days following the games. Consequently, I'd wondered how I'd be able to coach.
Perhaps it wasn't about me actually coaching. Maybe God only wanted me to truly be willing to do it. Once I'd honestly said I'd coach, perhaps that was all He had been wanting of me. Maybe sometimes God just wants to see that we are willing to do more than we think we can do.
