Anja,
Your mother and I are very proud of you on your graduation
day. You have grown into a strong, capable, fun-loving and beautiful young
woman. You are insightful and articulate, which means your talent will be in
demand. You are kind and understanding, which means you can develop many strong
relationships. You have been blessed, and we are blessed that you are our
daughter. We're excited to see you go to
ACU, yet sad that you won't be filling our house with joy as before.
As you head out, here are three passages from God's Word to
keep in mind:
Job 39:19 "Do you
give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?"
You have grown to love horses, but remember where they came
from. God not only designed them, he also delights in them. The best way to
enjoy them, and anything else in life, is to remember your Maker and their
Maker.
Psalm 147:10-11
"His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the
legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who
hope in his steadfast love."
Just like God made the horse, God also made you and gave you
many talents and strength. But his delight is that you fear him and put your
hope in him. You are poised to accomplish many things and go many places, but
the final measure of your success is already right in front of you. Learn to
fear the Lord and hope in him and you will do well.
Revelation 19:11
"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on
it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes
war."
Every time you saddle up, you are in good company. Your life
is ahead of you. Enjoy the ride!
We love you, Anja. Congratulations on your graduation from
VSA.
- Mom and Dad
