The Graduate

"Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference." ~Arie Pencovici

Wow, I can't believe how much you've grown. Did you know I spoke to you when you were in the utero? I was there when your mom screamed her head off giving birth to you while she squeezed my arm off. Never give your arm to a woman in labor! 

Now look, you can fit into your mother's wedding dress! (which, by the way, she intricately & laboriously created for that one special day.)  Although, you're not quite ready just yet for such a huge commitment.  That will come in the future.

In the meantime, go chase your dreams and make them all come true. And make your Mom and Dad proud.

But most importantly, whatever you do...

"...do not forget My teaching,
but keep My commands in your heart,

for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart 
and lean not on your own understanding
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:1-6

Congratulations, Dezi, 2010 Graduate! Now, GO and make a difference!
