End to a good year

This is the year I was supposed to graduate.
But I feel like going one more, a victory lap.
It’s been interesting watching my friends who I grew up with here, those same friends that I did crazy things with as a freshman, fill out their intent to graduate forms, picking up graduation gowns, moving on with life after college. Yet they seem to be at the same place I am.
Unsure, scared, but excited!
I always looked at school as a a huge mountain. Every year since kindergarden, you climb just a little higher. I never realized what was at the top, but I knew it had to be fantastic!
I’d like to think that at the top is a parasail. God is up there, he says “Well done, now jump! Trust me.” and then we have a decision to make. I like how well APU has trained us to follow Proverbs 3:5&6 and to trust in the Lord, and it prepares us to take the leap and follow him wherever he wants us to go after this. Our lives are for him and in the last 4 years, if we have learned anything it’s this:
God First.

Congratulations class of 2010! You’ll all do amazing things!

Sitting around the glowing logs of a mighty camp fire, surrounded with a tad bit over 100 others under the star lit sky, I listened to my president who spoke the words of the Lord and asked us three questions. Who am I? What is my purpose? What difference does it make? I am a precious child of God sent here to use my light and gifts to show the path and help the stray find their way to the golden gates. If you want to know the difference it makes, wear a blindfold for a few days then take it off, only then can you grasp the concept of what I was sent to do.
