This past Saturday, the church Scholarship Committee held a wonderful Graduates Brunch. The honorees were three young ladies who were graduated from high school this June. All three are lively; all three are lovely; all three are Christian young ladies who participate in church and community activities. They are all headed for college! Looking at their fresh, wholesome, and expectant faces reminded me of when I was eighteen. At eighteen, you feel like you can conquer the world. You feel invincible. You think you know, because you have made it through this far, right?
I pray for these young ladies, and all the young people who are being launched this year. There are so many more negative influences in the world now than there were 20 or 30 years ago. At the brunch, many adults gave them sound advice, and for the most part, I think the honorees heard the advice. I hope they heard and will take advantage of our offer to come to us when they need direction, advice, support, and prayer.
Pray for a teenager today.
Take care,
Sylvia
