Knowing the countless hours he spent studying and/or working on some project or another, I know how hard he worked to get here. Sidenote: It was hot. And if you know Josh, he HATES hot. It's the one thing that can truly put him in a bad mood. :) He hung in there though.
He was up to his eyes in leis. It was hilarious and a bit much. :) He's got a lot of love from his fam in hawaii.
I feel lucky that I was able to celebrate with him.
As for seasons...It seems surreal that the season of undergrad has ended for him. He has lots of plans to work and go back to school... but for now we can celebrate the past four years and where God has brought him.
For many, it seems like the transition from school to work is daunting. Finding a job...finding the right job is frustrating. But Josh, and the many others in the same season of life can hold to the promises from God, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11
After Moses died, Joshua must have felt a huge overwhelming responsibility of caring for the Israelites. In the face of such impossibilities, God encouraged Joshua and said, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Just as God took care of his servant Joshua, so too, He will take care of each of you. Remember, His plans, His timing, His life.
