As you begin to prepare yourselves for your adult lives, I realized just how much I still want to tell you. The progress you've made as you have grown from little children to young adults has made me very proud. I have watched you try to please God and make choices that honor Him, and I know that He is proud of you, too. As you depart from the refuge of home and venture out into the world, I hope you will keep these things in your heart and ponder them on your journey through life.
Life is brutal and very unfair, or so it seems sometimes.
Follow God's leading in all things, for He knows what is best and what His purposes for us are. You will, over time, begin to recognize His voice. He may lead you to do great things, He may not. Know that wherever He takes you, you are in the very best place you can be. Wait on God in all things.
