This weeks blog (Sleepless Nights)

This past week I have lost sleep numerous nights thinking of how much is on my plate and how small my plate really is. I am in final preparation for Fields of Faith which is a national Fellowship of Christian Athletes event. Being the FCA sponsor at West Forsyth High School I was chosen to be one of the program directors for Forsyth's County Wide Fields of Faith hosted at West Forsyth High School. This is more to me then just a school sponsorship or school event. This is how I use my podium as a Christian Coach/Teacher to impact the lives of our students. With that being said we are expecting over 1,500 students in attendance for our 2 hour program. If that is not challenging enough we are in the middle of a dog fight in football to keep our 3-3 record alive and win the next 3 out of 4 games to go to the playoffs. Now I know it is not just me, but I lose sleep over making sure I am prepared for all my 6 classes on all 3 levels so I can continue to engage my students and build up our Public Safety Program. I also felt like I was losing control of my juggling act with these classes and that is the last thing I want and or need to do. So in retrospect I either need to "under promise and over give" or get a bigger plate.
