Our students are heading home or to other destinations. Their time here is over, the scheduled months when they knew where they were supposed to be and what they were supposed to be doing. What comes next? Many of them don't quite know yet!
It's hard to not know what the future holds. Lots of our students are facing big-decision years, when they will choose a career, a home, and a spouse. I remember those days in my life, wondering, worrying, hoping! However, from my perspective now I can look back at the lives of these students and say to them, "You have no idea how many great and wonderful gifts God has for your future. They are like birthday presents waiting to be opened when the time is right!" Yes, there will be hard times, but we have a God who can use all things, and He is the giver of EVERY good gift in our lives.
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." I Cor. 2:9
"We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know WHO holds tomorrow."
Be excited about the future! All of us!
