Leah's graduation made me feel something I never thought I would...old. Her mom and mine have been friends forever (I was the flower girl in her parents' wedding), and I remember when she was born! Her house has always been THE place to hang out. Probably because her family loves to have fun, and there's always something exciting going on! It was surreal being at her graduation, because it seems like time has just flown by. She was home schooled, so graduation was held at home in the gorgeous back yard. During the ceremony I was thinking that it's pretty cool to be the only one graduating, because you get to plan everything and decorate however you want. No hideous cap and gown either! Her dad had the privilege of speaking and even presented her with her diploma. I don't get to work in Callahan very much, but when I do I always enjoy it. It's fun seeing so many sweet people I've known my whole life.
Leah, I truly believe that God has big plans for you. That's why He gave you such a loving, supportive family to lean on. Life gets interesting after high school. But it's exciting! Trust God with the plans He has for you, and you'll never have to worry if you are making the right choices. Always remember these two verses:
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
