YOU DID IT!
Congratulations to all graduates and fellow Class of 2021 celebrators! You graduated! You have spent the last (insert number here) years learning, growing, working and striving to achieve your hopes, goals and dreams. For some of you, it was hard. For others… it was really hard. But you all are now here, together, and have completed a great achievement!
You now face a new stage of your life: Will you go to college? A tech school? Enter the workforce? Travel abroad? There is no right and wrong choice (though if you weren’t very good at math in high school we’d encourage you to think some more before becoming a math major in college).
The most important choice you make, however, is if you will continue to allow God to speak into your life. Will you listen to His guiding and follow his direction? Will you pray to Him for clarity and help when you don’t know what to do? And will you continue to tell others about His goodness and faithfulness wherever He leads you?
There is no iPhone app, GPS device, road map or manual to show you all the steps and turns you need to make in your journey. But there is a Good Book that will help you find all the answers you need. It is our hope and prayer that you will carry that with you wherever you go, and trust in the God who walks alongside you.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
If you are reading this, please join us as we pray for each of these graduates: for their future, their hopes, their dreams and their aspirations; and for God’s Word to guide their steps along the way.
