It's that time of year that seniors and graduations are at the forefront of what's happening. After all, great accomplishments are coming to fruition. Hours and hours of schooling, classes, papers, projects, and accomplishments all come down to ceremonies, goodbyes, leaving the old things, beginning new opportunities, new towns, new cities, new professors, and even new friends.
I must say that this time of year is exciting, yet bittersweet. It's not easy to say temporary goodbyes to people. You get used to people "being around". But you know, I couldn't be happier either for those making those steps in life. The opportunity to move on to something new and fresh. The activities and opportunities will be endless for those that choose to make the most of what God puts in their path. With each decision that is made, a life-course will be determined and changed. It's not that they don't have directions. It's the fact that the highway can go in many directions. I will say, however, that God gives us a path to walk down. It is straight and narrow. But it has so many adventures and endless possibilities. What an amazing way to look at the future.
You don't have to be graduating to think about those endless possibilities that lie before even you and me. It is up to us to take the road that God has given us to travel. We have the opportunity every day to Seize The Day. So...even though I am not graduating, I am choosing to make those decisions that will forever alter my future. My prayer is that you will do the same.
