In just under 2 weeks my second child will graduate from high school. To say that the calendar in this household is busy right now would be an understatement.
Between choir concerts and vocal festivals, field trips and AP exams, I don't always know where he's supposed to be or when. And then there are 2 other kids, a husband and myself to keep track of.
Tonight is the Senior Honors Convocation. Since we received a "formal invitation" I am assuming that our senior is being honored. I can't wait to see what honor(s) he receives. His GPA earned him an academic scholarship and he's in NHS. He's on the team that works on the school dictrict's website, and has gotten high praise from the faculty member in charge of that team. He's also part of the choir group that got invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in NYC next April under the direction of Eric Whitacre, a favorite composer of the choir director at the high school campus.
As I look and think back on his life so far, I can't help but be drawn to Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 29:11. We are so blessed to know that he is living his life for our Lord and Savior. Sure, there have been struggles, but with God's grace we've come through them all, and will continue to do so. When he heads off to college in the fall, he'll be double-majoring in Youth Ministry and Bible Studies, with a minor in Worship Arts. What better way to serve than to do what one is truly gifted to do. The fact that he also loves each part is an added bonus. Not many can make their passion their vocation.
We're so proud of him!
