Graduation Speech: Our Journey -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Addr

Roughly eighteen years ago, the twelve of us seniors were born in varied places, under different circumstances and in different families, far from knowing individu in ally other and crossing distributively others paths. Yet, God has already taken each of us under His tender c be to work in us according to His plan. Our journey under the supervision of God has already started back then, each of us at a different starting point. After raising and nurturing each individual in a very personal way, it was in Gods undefiled plan for all of us to finally bring the twelve of us together at Johnson Academy and to make it part of our journeys to cross our paths with one a nonher. If it were non for this school, many of us probably would not have known each other. We are living evidences that God has been at work in us all along from the beginning, because just the fact that people we dont know, know the same God, are living for the same God and love the same God is proof of Gods originat ion and His universal work. We can only reach and impact so many and when we see that God has reached far beyond what we can reach and has everything under control. We go under on our knees and worship Him, because we know we are so small, worthless and ineffective compared to the mighty work God is doing. The twelve of us were brought together for the purpose of evaluate God for the work He has done in each of us, for we wouldnt have known, let alone impacted each other, unless God had chosen to work in us and to draw us together in this time of our lives. Every change, every incident and every circumstance regardless of how small they may seem, are Gods conscious provision and will that is actively taking place every day. Nothing is a coincidence, or luck. Throughou... ...rney the twelve of us took together and His plan to ternary each of us into different directions, yet for the same purpose, to manifest His glory. Let me close with some verses from my favorite psalm, number 139. For You formed my inward parts You cover me in my mothers womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your apply they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God How great is the sum of them If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand When I awake, I am still with You. Thank you.
