my grad write up...

Time is something we value in life,
For us school is where we spend the days of our childhood and our youth,
eleven years in a cold small town, and the other two spent on an island, where the ocean stretches on forever,
Although there have been times where i have thought of kicking the bucket-school wise,
There has also been times of great joy, enjoying what i love to do,
my faith has grown to new heights, and i thank God for being there when all else failed,
now its time, we are set free to choose what we want, our lives ahead of us,
i don't know what is ahead but i promise to enjoy every step of it and trust in Him the whole way,
my parents to you, i am truly grateful for teching me what was important in life,
nickolas, thanks for coming into my life, and teaching me how to love,
to Kari and Shannon, thanks for making it through and being my friends,
All this valued time and structure fallen, the final bell has rung, a bittersweet, and another page tured.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
