To all of the 2022 graduates, including our youngest daughter Faith who graduated from Denison University, Congratulations! You've done the work, you've passed the tests, you've crossed the finish line! You've made it! And your family and friends are so proud of your accomplishments.
When I graduated from college, a hundred years ago, it was such an exciting time. Although I would clearly miss my daily college routine; the campus, my friends and professors, I was also excited for the next chapter in my life. But change can be challenging. Many graduates, be it from High School or College, may not have a clear direction of what they'd like to do next. Some may falsely believe, because of their age, they have nothing to contribute to the world.
1 Timothy 4:12 says, Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
If you don't know which way to go, pray, get advice from a career counselor, speak with a family member or friend whose advice you trust.
Get ready for your next chapter. It's time to shine!
