Today we celebrated and honored our graduates of 2008. It really brings us joy at Lakeside to see people succeed in life. Today was a happy day, it was a joyous day.
Ken Leslie had some pointers for the graduates, and I think he hit the nail on the head. There was little I could add, so this will be brief.
God adores you. This is both to our graduates and everyone else. God simply cannot get enough of you. He misses you and desires a relationship with you and adores spending time with you. And, God is a just God. He will allow you to slip far away from him (to a point), because He will not impose on you. My advice is simple: seek God.
Through high school there are many mountain top experiences and God-highs at retreats and events. Soon those experiences will no longer come to you. I believe God steps back and says, "Okay, I'm here...and I'll wait." He wants you to demonstrate you care and love Him, too. That you don't just want Him around when it feels good or when you need a miracle.
Congratulations, not only are we at Lakeside extremely proud, but I know He is too.
I hope to still see you around!
