These students were just finishing 7th grade when Ashley and I arrived back in Florence.  They were young, full of life and excited about being brand new members of the Crash Student Ministry at Ebenezer.  Now they’re walking across the stage graduating from High School.  We’re proud of all sixteen of you and pray for you as you step into the next chapter of your life.  Always remember the words I shared with you today from Proverbs 19:20-21.  Many will offer you advice and you will have lots of plans.  But in the end…only the purposes of the Lord will prevail.  Let it be JESUS that you run after as you head into the future He has for you Class of 2018.
