5 Weeks Away!

  HAPPY GRADUATION DAY!!!!  For this special day marking your graduation, I wanted to share with you the prayers that I wrote and shared at the graduate hooding ceremony yesterday.  Opening Prayer Gracious God, As we get to the end of another school year and celebrate this milestone. we pause—exhausted, relieved, grateful. We’ve carried so much: PLNs, IPC, DAs, (and all the alphabet soup of the SPU SOE) lesson plans and countless emails, early mornings and late nights, student stories that stayed with us long after the day was done.

  I'm celebrating with you today in spirit and love you all!  Here is a little blessing I put together for YOUR BIG DAY TODAY!!! Wedding Day Bessing for Hannah and Derick  Lord, thank you for this day— not just any day, but  the  day. A day set apart that we have been waiting for.   May you soak it up. May the glances linger longer, may the laughter ring louder, may the tears fall freely and be holy. This is the day that the Lord has made. May you rejoice, and be fully in it. May you be here now. Not racing ahead to what’s next, not rehearsing what was, but attuned— right here, right now, heart to heart, one to another.   Give thanks. for all that brought you here— the messes, the miracles, the waiting, the wondering, the whispers to friends about love that was growing and about the excitement  about what was to come.  Give thanks. for the community  God has circled around you, for the friends who carried you family who formed you, and s...
