Another first

So it's a brand new year and another first is happening in my life. A little over 10 years ago, I graduated from Pittsburg State with B.A. degree in Communications and I thought I would never go back to taking classes. Fast forward to the present and I'm taking class online for the very first time. It's from Sports Management worldwide, a company associated with Western Oregon university that helps people try to get a job in sports. The class I'm taking is sports business management. Mostly the class deals with ticket sales and what it is like working in the front office. It's interesting class, but I'm wondering if this class is right for me. I figure if I want to be a GM and scout, this is one of the two courses I feel like I have to take to get to this dream. I've always wanted to work in the sports industry, but where god is leading me...I really don't know.
This morning, my pastor was starting a sermon series on "Audacious faith". If you look up the word Audacity it means boldness, daring or fearless. I remember my pastor saying "that if we don't live in audacious faith that we might be missing some of best moments in our lives as a Christian". When I heard that I feel like that's me. I'll admit that taking this class makes him uncomfortable and I that what I'm turning in for assignments sounds intelligent. However, if I don't come in with boldness attitude toward this class......I will never really know what god has in store for me.
