Heart of a Junior

This Friday, as many of you know, is graduation at Grace Academy. Watching some of my friends go through this important part of their lives has caused me to think about this fall and my last year at Grace. It's been a wonderful twelve years so far, and although I'm excited for the next step I'll take as part of God's plan, I can't help but mourn the loss of such a special place. Thoughts like these give me an even stronger desire to use my last days wisely. I know it will be a wonderful year growing closer to my fellow seniors and filled with senior surprises and fun outings. But, if I'm not careful, I'll look back on 2006-2007 with regret... regret that I wasted my last chance to impact others as a student. I am blessed with so many things and I have such an incredible opportunity as a spiritual leader to spur others on to love and good deeds. We're always talking about a reformation or awakening, but where's the one person who's gonna take the first step? I'm most likely going to be captain of two sports teams again this upcoming school year and vice president of SLC again. Huge responsibilities yet opportunities! If I don't faithfully long for the pure milk of the Word and seek His guidance, I cannot serve Him 100%. I don't want that to happen. May it never be! So, as I finish my last days as a junior, I look forward to the future. I want to be a vessel for His glory. These are my thoughts and comments on my senior year. I have to close with a wonderful verse that always inspires me: Matthew 19:26 "Looking at them, Jesus said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible.'"
