Today was your last day of high school. We've watched you grow from preschool to elementary, middle and now you're graduating from high school. And you're one hellava guy.
You're going into a new time in your life where you may feel a little unsure. Don't. You are ready and more importantly, you are a child of the Most High God. Out of anything, you can be most sure of that. Remember He has made you "highly capable".
You may want to give up. Don't. And I don't mean, don't be a quitter. You'll know when to hold em' and when to fold em'. What I mean is, when you feel like giving up, remember to whom you belong. Remember he wants what's best for you.
You may come to a point where you're wondering (and this will be about 5 seconds after mom drives away from your dorm) if you made the right decision. You did. Remember why you decided to go there in the first place.
Evan, you came into our lives like a whirlwind. We were so excited to get a new sibling. We've experienced happy, fun, exciting and even some really sad times. But if there is one thing I want you to know about yourself, one thing...you have always been and will forever be an amazing reminder of God's redemption. You are a reminder of how much God loves us. In a family we all mess up, we all hurt each other, we say and do things we wish we could take back. But you, you remind us that somewhere in all of that, God still loves us. He still wants what's best for us.
You are loved. You matter, even when it can feel like you don't, well, you do. You will be missed.
Congratulations! Now commence with life!
