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

Roughly eighteen years ago, the twelve of us seniors were born in contrary places, under different circumstances and in different families, far from knowing each other and crossing each others paths. Yet, God has already taken each of us under His tender caution 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 perfect plan for all of us to at long last bring the twelve of us in concert at Johnson Academy and to make it part of our journeys to cross our paths with one another. If it were not 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 mass we dont know, know the same God, are living for the same God and love the same God is proof of Gods existence and His univer sal work. We can only gravel and impact so many and when we see that God has reached far beyond what we can reach and has everything under control. We fall 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 praising God for the work He has make 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 lead each of us into different directions, in so far for the same purpose, to manifest His glory. Let me close with some verses from my favorite psalm, number 139. For You forme d my inward parts You covered me in my mothers womb. I will compliment 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 book 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.
