Somewhere in the laws of physics and science there is a law that says "an object in motion stays in motion unless something interacts with it to stop it." These days I feel like I am involved in somebody's science project. Each day is something new and each month seems to tell me something about my future. Ever since spring of 09 I feel as though Ive been living my life a few months at a time. A new phase of life has started and ended every few months for the last year (soon to be year and a half). First there was my "last semester of college", then there was my last summer as a college student and trying to figure out what that looked like, then came my extra semester of "school" and more importantly soccer. That provided an entirely different experience than any of college before. I was living the dream life while also trying to figure out what my post graduation life would look like. Next game my current state. Post grad living in New Jersey while working in the professional sports world.
This object in motion doesnt appear to be stopping anytime soon. Enter next phase t-minus 3 months from a little while ago. For those of you who dont know (which is probably none of you considering not many people read this), I have accepted an assistant coaching position at the US Naval Academy. The best way I can explain this whole happening is like one of those revolving doors in front of fancy hotels or airports. There is always a continuously open door. When one door passes, another is right behind it to be open for you. Thats pretty much what happened with Navy. To be honest, the fact that such an opportunity could be open to me so fast after graduation was not even a thought until I got a phone call in January from coach Brandt telling me about the possible situation. Fast forward 3 1/2 months and here I am telling you that I am embarking on an opportunity that can hopefully jumpstart my future career in coaching.
So much of the future seems to be far off and distant. It always feels that way until its on top of you and the next thing is right around the corner or another opportunity is staring you in the face. I dont know what the future at Navy or beyond Navy will have in store for me but I have learned that when I trust in the Lord to direct my paths and do my best to do do His will, I have far less to worry about.
Beat Army!!
Later Days
