What's a word that means excited but also awed by the responsibility of something?

For instance, if someone has been voted in as a leader of a group and they feel proud and excited but also touched that people put their trust in them? A sense of power and responsibility. Proud, but also hoping they can live up to the expectations and the responsibility.

I keep thinking 'humbled', but that's not right. 

Please help me out!

    There's not one word for that. You've expressed it beautifully!
