An Unexpected Opportunity

I feel a little jittery... lots of nervous energy! I'm stepping out a little and I'm excited. A door opened to try and start a public speaking (and possibly also a creative writing) class for local homeschoolers. I've spent the last few days frantically finding a place to have it, working on fliers and lesson plans, okaying a class trip to a local television station, and a hundred other little details that made my head hurt!

Now that it's done and circulating, I feel a little nervous. Let me try and explain how I feel. It's like climbing the ladder to the high dive for the first time. You know you want to... or you know you at least want your friends to think you want to... so you climb it slowly, and you stand at the top and look down on the side and see your family and friends watching and waiting. You take a deep breath and a step forward into mid-air! That's me-- Mid-air Jamie! Ha!

It's excilerating and I'm excited! I feel like I'm finding things to make this class fun and exciting, and I can't wait to see what God does with this open door.
