Down the Road

 Wednesday, May 12, 2010

It's the season of Pomp and Circumstance, caps and gowns, and teary-eyed speeches; it's graduation time. At this time of year there is much emphasis on the future and the generation who is graduating and perhaps not enough said about trusting the One who holds your future in His hand.

Graduation is an exciting time for many and possibly accompanied by a little anxiety for most. The questions come up. What are you going to do with your life? Where are you going to college? Are you certain that you have chosen the right major? Even though I am not yet a graduate, I have been asked those questions and have had an occasional doubt but am learning that I can trust God and know that with him, I can make the right decisions. There will be moments when life is overwhelming or things don't seem to be going as planned but in those moments, remember the words of Jeremiah 29:11.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:11

God has a plan and path for each person's life and he will never lead us where he will not go with us. As you walk across the stage, grasp the diploma that you diligently worked for, and reposition the tassel on your cap; you can walk confidently off the stage knowing that God is walking with you.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the 2010 high school and college graduates.
If you are graduating this year, drop a comment so that I may send you a quick message!

I graduated! woohoo! Amazing how it was always SOOOO far into the future, and then all the sudden, it was upon me.

Now the future looms, big and wide and scary and exciting.
